2005 was a pretty good year for reading, since I read a lot on the commute when I lived in Houston (about the only good thing out of that hideous commute to the city). Anyhow, here is my impression of this book from my journal back then:

>>This is a good, smart, straight forward self-help advice book. I think my director selected it for the business section, but the author addresses all walks of life. Basically, the idea is to take responsibility for your life. Don't like it, change it, but it has to come from you. Also, reminds me of little things like "a deal is a deal" and treat others better than you would yourself. A lot of it actually boils down to love and happiness. If you love what you do, and you are happy, success will come. Things happen, that is life. But get over it, learn and grow, and move on. Winget even does a bit of advocating for reading. He even talks a bit about sex, which is the coolest thing, and a right thing (as in good, not right wing). Teach children this with respect, responsibility, and safety, and the kids will be fine.
Definitely a book with something for everyone. ( )

I had to pick up this audiobook from the library; I was smply intrigued with the title. This was brainless in a common sense sort of way, and a lot of fun. Winget sounded like a delightful amalgam of Donald Trump, Lewis Black, Wayne Dyer and Rush Limbaugh.

Oh, and Chris Farley as that motivational speaker in the SNL skit. ( )

Sous-Titre: Le coup de pied dand le cul de tous ceux qui veulent plus. Larry se revendique être un coach trash! Alors je me suis dit que son bouquin serait vraiment trash. Mais non, son bouquin est simplement mauvais. Il parle beaucoup mais vraiment beaucoup de lui, et de sa femme, et de ses gosses. Et je déteste ça! ( )

If you are looking for a book that will change your stinking thinking... this might be the one for you. As long as you are not afraid of being calling a lying procrastinator who makes up excuses and refuses to accept responsibility for being a slothful failure. :)

Downside? Bible verses. But you can get past them. ( )
