Product Description
Product Description
This is the long awaited second–edition of Paul McGee’s international bestselling personal development heavyweight S.U.M.O. Weighing in with humour, insight, practical tips and personal anecdotes, it’s a thought provoking – and possibly life–changing – read. S.U.M.O. has helped tens of thousands of people fulfil their potential, seize opportunities, succeed at work and respond to adverse situations with a positive attitude. Now comprehensively expanded and even more interactive, the 2nd edition, will help S.U.M.O. fans – and S.U.M.O. virgins – get even more out of this popular, straight–talking guide.
S.U.M.O. stands for Shut Up, Move On. It′s a phrase to say to ourselves (and sometimes others) when we are acting or thinking in a way that is hindering our ability to succeed. It doesn′t necessarily mean ′get over it′ or ′pull yourself together′ (although there may be occasions when both responses are necessary). ′Shut Up′ means stop what you′re doing, take time out to reflect, let go of baggage and beliefs that hinder your potential. ′Move On′ means tomorrow can be different from today, look for new possibilities, don′t just think about it, take action.
There are six S.U.M.O. principles that are designed to help you create and enjoy a brilliant life. If you are wrestling with life′s challenges, these principles will help you do so more successfully.
- A brand new principle: E+R=O – Event + Response = Outcome. It′s not just what happens to you but how you respond to it that shapes your life – you do have control.
- Change Your T–Shirt – take responsibility for your own life and don′t be a victim.
- Develop Fruity Thinking – change your thinking and change your results.
- Hippo Time is OK – understand how setbacks affect you and how to recover from them.
- Remember the Beachball – increase your understanding and awareness of other people′s world.
- Learn Latin – change comes through action not intention. Overcome the tendency to put things off.
- Ditch Doris Day – create your own future rather than leave it to chance. Forget the attitude ′que sera, sera, whatever will be, will be.′
′A superb book′ Allan and Barbara Pease, bestselling authors of Why Men Don′t Listen & Women Can′t Read Maps
′The S.U.M.O. approach is powerful, simple and effective. Anyone who reads it is sure to look at themselves and the world differently as a result′ Octavius black and Sebastian bailey, co–founders of The Mind Gym

Great book full of practical ideas to help you get on with living your life and not wallowing in the past. A must for all those stagnant hippos (read the book to understand)

Did the schools version with work, and thought it was great, so bought the book. It's all about changing your mind set, stop feeling sorry for yourself, think positive and move on - if things aren't working the way you've always done them, then change things! I have read it myself, passed it on to my partner, and there is a que of friends and family waiting to read it! Would definitely recommend this, life-changing!

Reading this i instantly recognized aspects which had been amalgamated from other source such as 'how to win friends and influence people, the 7 habits of successful people, getting things done etc. Thus the ideas themselves were not particularly original. What is original is the way they are combined in a lucid/concise text, honed down to the key messages rather than being sprawled across hundreds of pages. Also the insights into the authors own life seem more genuine than in those other books which makes it marginally more absorbing.
At about 200 pages its a quick read and quite entertaining. I think you would be hard pressed not to derive some extra motivational energy or feel good factor from reading this book and I would certainly recommend it.
