Stop Doing That Sh*t

Scott Wilson

Some deep personal insights can be found if you spend some time really (and I emphasize heavily - REALLY) thinking about Gary’s framework of the three saboteurs: yourself, other people, and life.

There were some interesting quotes and questions posed by some interesting philosophers, such as, Martin Heidegger, Hans-Georg Gadamer, Edmund Husserl, and Viktor Franklin.

Bishop describes life like riding a story-line arc in an ancient Greek tragedy. And the ‘hero’ of that story always fails or falls just about as success appears self-evident... and that “YOU” are the main reason why failure occurs.

I loved the introspection- I loved really thinking about the saboteurs and how they may have played a role in my life so far...

What I didn’t like so much was the lack of focus on thee solution... it basically sounded like so now that you know your issues just acknowledge whenever they arise, and believe me they will, just acknowledge their presence and then ignore them and don’t stop your progress just keep on keeping on.

The other thing that honestly did bother me was the too many f* bombs thrown-into the book - the ending felt like an expletive laced tirade of just suck it up and get $-it done. It added to the spice in the beginning- but just like too much Old Spice it just started to really stink near the end.

Otherwise a great thinking book.

Why do you act the way you do? Do you ever feel like you get stuck in destructive cycles that hold you back from living the life you really want? In a dynamic, compelling and aha-filled journey, Stop Doing That Sh*t helps you connect the dots of your “stuff” all the way from your past to the present. You’ll make sense of yourself as you uncover how to interrupt those destructive cycles of yours and make the kind of profound shift needed to get your life on track. If you can’t save money, if you keep ending up in the same types of toxic relationships, if you feel unloved, don’t fit in, not enough or any one of the myriad of ways that a human being trashes an otherwise good life, this is the book for you. Written in the same irreverent, in-your-face style that resonated with the hundreds of thousand of fans who read Unfu*k Yourself, Stop Doing that Sh*t skillfully reveals our deepest subconscious machinery, with a real-world approach to powerfully translate our most negative thoughts and behaviors into a vitalizing, sabotage-free future. “Stop indulging yourself with fantasies and dramas and unresolved issues. Wake the hell up!” Bishop writes. Look, you might have fu*ked up in the past, so what? Stop Doing That Sh*t reveals how you can break free of those deep-seated patterns to live the life you always knew you wanted but could never quite seem to have. As Bishop says, “The future has arrived. Now what the hell are you going to do about it?”
