3.5 stars. Some key phrases and stories to help you get out of your head and do things in life.
I really like this book its 9/10. I like how the author is speaking motivationally. This book blew me away and made me think about my existence and how to change it
I think I was expecting a bit more, this book might be interesting if you need a kick in the ass but that's about all it is sadly.
You'll like it if you're unsure on how to enhance something in your life. It is brief and straightforward
If you feel like your life is a bit, or a lot, off the rails, read this book. Gary delivers on his promise and he will teach you his techniques for unfucking yourself.
This was a totally solid book. nothing he presented was revolutionary. But, his presentation, his delivery, the context of his thoughts, all of that was refreshing.
Gary hooked me with a catchy title, an author narrated audiobook, and the premise of a handful of personal assertions he advises people adopt. I enjoy personal assertions, or personal affirmations, and I use my own statements on a daily basis. So I was predisposed to enjoying his angle. I also value my things born of the stoic philosophy which brought me even closer to Bishop's message.
His advice is easy to digest, simple (not easy) to act upon, and compelling in many ways.
Stoic philosophy with a snappy title. Still, if Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, T Roosevelt, or Heidegger are your jam, you'll enjoy this quick read. Get the audiobook, so you can savor the author's Scottish accent as he tells you to “get over yer feckin' self.”
