“Shut Up Stop Whining and Get a Life Summary”

Where is your pen? Where did you put your highlighter? Do you want success? –

Then, do yourself a favor: stop wasting time, it is advisable to sit relaxed.

Get this laziness out of your system, – unless you intend to put words into action by taking notes. Life doesn’t make mistakes; it is too short to be wasted on stupid and useless things.

Your offhand comments are apparently your biggest stumbling rock. Every person can learn how to chat properly, and how to make the interlocutor feel special. So, listen to each side, never underestimate anyone’s perspective especially not the one of your partner, your kids, your associates and your customers.

Be prepared to learn from other people, besides; the world doesn’t lack knowledge, it lacks sharing. Remember somewhere out there; you will find an individual who has something valuable to tell you. Don’t be arrogant, feel free to ask questions and allow the same from the other party.

Pay attention to the outcome, which in this case refers to the answers. Sometimes, we are too stubborn to take good advice, even if we come across one. Analyze tapes, find their meaning and stop whining. We don’t say – people learn new things all the time for nothing.

Be fully present while you are talking, flying or sunbathing. Don’t apply every advice, be selective, take your time. For example, it is ironical for a person to take health advice from an unhealthy person (who smokes cigarettes and consumes alcohol daily). Ignore talking to yourself- the negative self-talk will not do you any good.

The media and television affect your happiness, the society as well, but you must become a brave and fully-grown person ready to take control of its own life.

So, the question is what a perfect life is?

According to the author, it would be like, walking on the railroad tracks feeling perfectly safe and peaceful, without worrying about the train heading in your direction. All of a sudden, some member of your family (a bully perhaps!) intentionally pushes you off the tracks to save your life.

He shouts about your ignorance, lethargy, and indifference. Larry Winget somehow becomes your “big brother”; he will help you unconditionally by delivering well-researched tips and valuable stories.

Openness must become your religion –  your holy relic. It’s not easy to transform your business; it requires time patience and, thoughtful suggestions from a person who understands its complexity.

One of many important steps is the importance of taking notes during the process that includes writing self-help action plans, to help you motivate yourself and push forward.

Worrying as a method of dealing with things it is not helpful either. If depression and anxiety represent your foundation for choosing what do in life, you should prepare yourself for a bumpy ride.

We live in difficult times; sadly you are as good as dead if you don’t have ultimate reason to live. Each one of us must be willing to cope with challenges to learn how to maximize our pleasures.
