Stop Doing That Sh*t End Self-Sabotage and Demand Your Life Back
Reviews

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.
