The reaction to your creation is uncertain. Maybe you have wanted to create something but you are afraid to fail or of what others may think. You can worry about them, or wallow in them if they happen, or you can embrace them and act. Your company downsizes and you are laid off. And those people have found a way through the mess. It is important to remember that others have gone through, and are currently going through, the difficult situations you face. When life seems to unravel it is usually your perception of it which makes it worse. If you don't like the things you are winning at then you need to change the game you are playing. You created a pattern in your life to get that outcome.

Like the example above, even the parts of your life you don't like are still "wins". Next time you don't like a certain part of your life, ask yourself, "Am I willing?" Are you willing to exercise and eat right if you want to lose weight? Are you willing to gain additional skills to better your work situation? It is ok to say no, but at least be honest with yourself and stop complaining about your situation if you are not willing to do what it takes to change it. Don't like your body, your job, or your financial situation? In large part, it is because you are willing to stay there. If there is something you don't like in your life it is because you were willing to be in that situation. Gary argues that everything you do stems from a willingness to do it. Gary lays out 7 "mantras" he wants the reader to live by. Which I do hope they actually read because there is some good content here. There were a few here and there, but after listening to the entire book I am convinced the book title was created just to entice people to buy the book. Unlike the book, "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck", this book was fairly clean in regards to curse words. After listening to this book I wish all audiobooks were read by the Scots!


But is it any good, or just another book that has sold because of the title? Let's take a look!įirst off, Gary John Bishop is the narrator of the audiobook.and is also from Scotland. When I finally picked up Audible this month, I had him send me this book to listen to. After seeing other books I have read, and posts I have made, a co-worker made this recommendation to me. Unfortunately, they continue to sell, and so they continue to get created. Books with titles like this seem to be a dime a dozen today. I know, I know.another book with a provocative title.
