"This book was very outside of the box however very useful. Some things in there I thought were mean, others I knew were true but I didnt want to acknowledge. This books helps you in getting over the hump of complainning and always feeling like you are the victim of your life (which you aren't). I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who complains and to anyone who is in for a good ride as well. Certain aspects of this book helped me right from the start. They stick in your mind and make you do stuff that usualy, you'd pass on."

" This book was OK. I only read it because it was a gift... didn't think it was very useful to me. Might be useful for some people. The recurring theme was, if you don't like your life, do something about it, don't just complain. "

" Awesome in your face book! "
— Jimmy, 12/24/2012 -
" Avoid this book. It starts out OK, if somewhat berating, and devolves into a personal rant by the author. In my opinoin this is not a self-help book! I actually bailed on the last chapter because I could not stand the tone of the book any longer. I only held on that long out of raw determination. "
— Mark, 10/1/2012 -
" My favorite quote from this book, "If your life sucks, it is because you suck." "
