I want good responsible kids. I want a promotion. I want to be healthy. I want to be smarter. I want to retire. I want, I want, I want… But do you know what people really want? They want what they’ve got. It’s a simple formula: You have what you want because your actions produced your results. Not your words and certainly not your wants. In his signature caustic, yet loveable style, Larry dishes out straight talk on what he calls “life’s messes” and offers up his advice topped with a dollop of common sense. We all know that people do stupid things to sabotage their success, and we can all think of areas in our own lives where we are just plain being idiots! So here is what Larry is proposing: Recognize where you are being an idiot and then take action to stop being an idiot. He takes on business, family, health, being fat, being stupid, success, money, and more, and tells us step by step what we need to change. He tells us to take responsibility for our words and our wants and put them into action. Why Larry? We have seen him do it as an expert on TV, coaching people on taking control of their money. We turn to him for business advice and kick-in-the- pants motivation. But why ask Larry for advice on things like relationships and parenting? Larry says the answers to most problems, whether personal or professional, go hand in hand. What it takes to be a great leader is what it takes to be a great parent. The principles it takes to be a good salesperson are the same principles it takes to get along with others. The principles of personal success are the same principles of business success and financial success. This book is a little mirror you can hold up to your life to reflect back to you your areas of stupidity. A mirror that has a little action plan taped to the back of it. A little bit of business. A little bit of personal development. A little finance. A little parenting. A little health and wellness. And a whopping dose of common sense! The Pitbull of Personal Development ® and New York Times bestselling author Larry Winget brings us advice on the dumb things we are doing to sabotage our success. Larry Winget is back, and this time he’s telling us that most people are idiots! And that seems harsh. But in fact this is Larry’s most positive book yet because he believes that what people really want is to be told the truth. And usually the truth isn’t pretty. When you have had it with hand holding and making excuses for why you are not doing as well as you could be doing, when you are ready to hear someone tell it to you like it is, tell you exactly what you are doing wrong and how to fix it, Larry is your man. Do you have a plan for success? Why not? It’s time to cut out the endless chatter about the things you want, the things you wish you had. It’s time to stop wasting your time with excuses and explanations for why you aren’t quite where you need to be. This book is the swift kick you need to cut out the bad habits that are keeping you from your goals. Figure out what you really want, not what you say you want, and get started on your action plan for success. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A book to make you smack your foreheadAs a professional speaker, I've heard and read many things on success and making it in life. I honestly stumbled across this book in the airport as I was heading on a trip. I forgot reading material so I bought the book. What a great read. The "in your face" approach is awesome. The main thing is he really isn't saying anything none of us don't know, but it's one of those books that serve as more of a reminder of how many stupid things we do daily to sabotage our lives. I look at this book ... Read More Rating:  - Don't Be an Idiot!Don't let the title scare you off. Larry likes to use titles that create buzz and help publicity. The sub-title tells you all you need to know. It's an insightful look at the ways we sometime sabotage our own success, and what we can do about it. I've been reading an advance copy and just loving it. Larry is blunt and to the point, getting to the essence of what it takes to really break through and achieve the results you want. In the book, he takes on business, ... Read More Rating: - Another gut slammer, LarryLarry's typical, no-holds barred style brings it home again!! Larry's advice is not new; Walt Kelley said it in his classic Pogo strip, "We have met the enemy and they (sic) are us". Later, R. Lee Ermey, USMC, Retired said it more succinctly, "You are the a#@hole in charge of your own destiny". What is new and refreshing is the timeliness of the book; it not only applies to us as individuals but as a country. Profligacy, sloth, lack of initiative and ambition are, in my opinion, the proximate ... Read More Rating: - Idiots and (Pseudo) Intellectuals Will Trash This BookFortunately, I'm neither and I found this book, People Are Idiots and I Can Prove It, highly entertaining. Presented as a how-to book in a series of in-your-face presentations by author and media personality Larry Winget, pop psychologists and even serious behavioral experts will chalk this up to a series of rantings (and the author does indeed label many of his passages about idiot behavior as "rants,"). But if you're looking for a straightforward, very funny look at our society and appreciate a ... Read More Rating: - A Modest View of ReviewsLarry is bald and brash, wears loud cowboy shirts, smokes cigars, drinks scotch, rants, and surely you feel strongly about him one way or another. (Or, both.) But that's not a basis for a positive OR a negative review. That's his genuineness and is the way he singles himself out. That's the way he gets people to listen to him THE FIRST TIME. Like Scotch in a pretty bottle, if the contents turn out to be rotgut, the bottle will be ignored real quick next time you're looking for a quaff. If Larry ... Read More
