Product Description
Shut Up, Stop Whining & Get a Life
This is not your typical self–help book. You won′t find any motivational platitudes or cute business parables here. This is more of a "get off your butt and get to work" approach that can help you achieve more success, make more money, improve your business, and have more fun.
Larry Winget doesn′t pull any punches here. He believes that business gets better when businesspeople get better through personal growth. And it works the same way in your personal life–husbands and wives improve each other when they improve themselves, and kids improve when their parents do. In other words, everything in life gets better when you get better, and nothing gets better until you get better.
This book can make you better, but it will probably tick you off. Winget is direct, caustic, and controversial. You won′t like or agree with everything he has to say. Yet his advice is full of wisdom and truth that can′t easily be argued with.
Words from Shut Up, Stop Whining & Get a Life that prove that this book is anything but typical:
"If you don′t have much going wrong in your life, then you don′t have much going on in your life."
"When you work, work! When you play, play! Don′t mix the two."
"What you think about, talk about, and do something about is what comes about."
"When it quits being fun–quit."
"Time management is a joke."
And that′s just the beginning!
From the Inside Flap
Internationally renowned success philosopher, business speaker, and humorist, Larry Winget offers advice that flies in the face of conventional self–help. He believes that the motivational speakers and self–help gurus seem to have forgotten that the operative word in self–help is "self." That is what makes this book so different. Shut Up, Stop Whining, and Get a Life forces all responsibility for every aspect of your life right where it belongs—on you. For that reason, this book will make you uncomfortable. Winget won′t let you escape to the excuses that we all find so comforting. The only place you are allowed to go to place the blame for everything that has ever happened to you is to the mirror. The last place most of us want to go.

The last place most of us want to go.
Shut Up, Stop Whining, and Get a Life is simply a self–help book like no other. It takes on every idea you hold sacred. It trashes the motivational platitudes we have all grown up with and learned to trust. Larry attacks the importance of a positive attitude, the sanctity of marriage, sex, religion, fitness, friendship, money, stress, and happiness. This is anything but conventional wisdom, yet makes so much sense that his ideas are nearly impossible to argue with.
Larry Winget, also known as The Pitbull of Personal Development®, is confrontational in his style, direct in his approach, irritational in his manner, yet Shut Up, Stop Whining, and Get a Life is still hilarious. You will find yourself laughing out loud as he discusses his frustration with people who refuse to take responsibility for their lives and their results. Yet the most interesting part of this book is Winget′s emphasis on the importance of love and service to others. He explains that these two factors are the key to all success, happiness, and prosperity in both your personal and professional life.
You probably won′t agree with all Larry Winget says in this one–of–a–kind book. You may not like the concepts and ideas he believes will change your life. Winget doesn′t care. His ideas aren′t for everyone and he readily admits that. He just wants you to look at your life and your business, and if you aren′t totally happy with your results, then give his advice a try. If it works, you are way ahead. If it doesn′t, you haven′t lost anything.
