Publisher's Summary

From the author of the New York Times and international best seller Unfu*k Yourself, Gary John Bishop presents a no-holds-barred guide to breaking through our cycles of self-sabotage to get what we want out of life.

In Unfu*k Yourself, Gary John Bishop told us it was time to stop making excuses - to recognise and take responsibility for the negative self-talk holding us back.

In Stop Doing That Sh*t, he builds on that message, teaching us how to stop self-sabotaging behaviour. Bishop explains how our destructive cycles come down to the way that we’re wired. He then identifies different types of people and the ways we fu*k ourselves over: we can’t save money. We land in the same type of toxic relationship. We’re stuck in a rut at work. Analysing why we act the way we do, including what our common grenades are that blow up our lives, Bishop then shows how we can interrupt the cycle and stop self-sabotaging our lives.

Written in the same in-your-face style as Unfu*k Yourself, Stop Doing that Sh*t will help us get in touch with our psychological machinery so we learn to interrupt negative thoughts and behaviour before they start, allowing us to give our attention to something else and start to find success in the areas we thought we never could.

We can take back our lives. We may have fu*ked up in the past, but Stop Doing That Sh*t will show us how to break the patterns in order to live the lives we yearn to have.

Holy f#%@ of a s&=#

Unexpectedly brilliant. I'm normally skeptical of such books but this was a brilliant listen. Sentence after sentence hit perpetual home runs. I'll be revisiting this regularly and probably listen to the last chapter every week from now on. Yeah, the message at times can seem simple but it's these simple and straightforward messages that make the difference. Time to make something of myself! insha allah

Tough love

There’s some handy stuff here to help break those annoying habits we all hold that hold us back. However, even allowing for the author’s deliberate tough love approach, I still found the shouty narration here exhausting in parts. Useful, but maybe buy the paper version

Wanted to review after the first 10 minutes

As usual, Gary does not disappoint. If this book does not make you realise where you’re failing, then you are simply not ready to take the steps required to sort yourself out. Ironically you then need to consume it again, then again. Truth bombs aplenty.

Life-changing... honestly.

I’ve listened to this book twice, and think I’ll do it a third time too. There are so many insights, truth bombs and layers to this book. If you’re not where you’d like to be in life, if you keep repeating and getting trapped by old patterns... this could be what sets you free.

A different approach

A lesson in reality and how to live with it. Well worth your time. Not a crystals and candles approach but a real life explanation and practical plan to change

Great ready, very motivating

Motivated read that covers many of life’s hard to deal with subjects and really makes you stop and look introspectively and help prioritise things in your life.

Great read

Couldnt listen to his shouting at night, but loved his message and the Scottish accent!
I also loved Garys analogy of creating your vision day by day, starting now, and taking ownership of all that you are while you do it, ugly bits and all.
Can't wait to begin creating my vision of what and how I want to be, relate and experience for the rest of my life.
Cheers potty mouth, and THANKS !!
