"Worth reading just for looks received while reading. Has some helpful advise and offers a new way of looking at your actions. My only problem is Winget seems to make too much of a deal about being mean. Since its a short book the intro of him saying that he is not nice seemed longer than necessary. "
— Theanonymousafro (4 out of 5 stars)
" Read it twice so far and will probably go through it at least once more. "
— Michael, 1/1/2014" Larry Winget is, as always, the voice of reason. And damned funny. "
— Sheri, 12/31/2013" Entertaining and insightful. If only more people listened to this and realized they may be one of these idiots. "

— Theanonymousafro, 12/16/2013" Never one to mince words, Larry gets to the heart of everyone's problem - themselves making idiotic decisions. Straight forward, funny, and thought provoking. I've already made changes in my life to overcome my self-sabotaging. "
— Tammy, 11/23/2013" He may be blunt and rude, but so am I. I enjoyed how frankly he put things. He make you take a hard look at yourself and your actions. Another person that put what I already feel and know a lot more eloquently than I can. "
— Misty, 11/15/2013" I liked this! Yes, he can be in your face, but doesn't the title already sort of give you the hint that its going to be that kind of book? I did get a little tired of the lists he starts going over, which seemed to become more numb us towards the enc. "
— Kat, 9/28/2013" Guess he hates smokers. And needed a new way to market all his other books. "
— Sue, 1/2/2013" I listened to the audio version. This book is a kind of elaboration of his previous book ( Shut Up, Stop Whining, and Get a Life ). It adds more reasons to why people are stupid and several advices to avoid it. "
— Skyline, 10/28/2012" I totally see work in a new light! "
— Axsel, 8/24/2012" Slightly different take on a typical self help book. If you enjoy those kinds of books you will likely enjoy this one as well. "
— Virginia, 2/17/2012" Larry Winget is a very smart man and most of society could learn allot from him. While I do not agree with his ideas completely, I respect the honesty and "in your face" reality of his mantra. Learning to take responsibility for ourselves is the only true way to change. "
— Shelly, 11/17/2011" I think alot of people I know need to read this book. It had very practical advice without all that touchy feely stuff alot of other self help books have. I will definitely read more of his books!! "
— Tammy, 9/24/2011" Sorta... duh. "
— Natasha, 9/1/2011" I liked this book so much, I bought the coffee mug with the same title. READ READ READ. "
— Christian, 7/13/2011" This book is not for wimps. I love his straight-forward, extremely blunt approach. He is hilarious!! This is the first of my future collection by this author. "

— Misty, 1/22/2011" I have never read a self-help book so I don't have anything to compare this with, but it was assigned at work and I suffered through. <br/> <br/>I thought much of what Winget had to say was common sense "
— Jessica, 1/10/2011" I liked this book so much, I bought the coffee mug with the same title. READ READ READ. "
