this Gary guy is triggering an existential crisis

I haven't read Unfu*k Yourself. I won't bother after reading this. Nothing new here that you can't get in numerous other self-help books: You can change your life. Define your purpose. Yada-yada. All written and marketed as if swear words are the distinction between great and poor advice or the motivation you need to get off your ass. If you're going to read a book called "Do the Work", read the one by Steven Pressfield instead.

It's about 50 pages on the Kindle, but not meant for the kindle however. It's a workbook first and a book second. Going back, I would get the workbook to make it easier, but you can just write the questions down on paper and work from there, making it more personal while still keeping the digital edition. Personally, I typed all the questions into word and answered them that way after I highlighted them while reading the book. You can't miss them, they are all in Bold letters. Here, you will mos...

I loved Un Fu*k Yourself and this one made it even better. His tone works for me, he's not saying anything new he's just saying it crisp and clear. His method is one of self responsibility, woah image being responsible for your own life and not playing. the blame game No one is going to save you, save yourself, lift yourself stop being a fu*king baby. Being stuck sucks, get up do the work and make your life more.Yeh I loved it.

There's a part of me that does not want to like Gary John Bishop. He wants you to think he's not like other self-help authors. He's real, man. But then he goes on and does a lot of the cheesy things they all do. He never seems to truly unchamber the pent up authentic passionate rant that's right below the surface. There's still the sense he's holding back so he can market to a wider audience.That said, this book is an Audible experience to behold. I got it for $5.00 and it was worth every cent.

Did I miss something? When did people with no credentials or background in anything but self-help and coaching started publishing badly written books, full of broad claims about human nature with no evidence whatsoever? Just like Mark Manson, Gary John Bishop has no background in any relevant field, but is here to tell us all how to fix ourselves. Take some existentialist ideas, heavily water them down without adding any novel insights, then add a lot of profanity - that you describe as 'tough l...

Really have to take your time and think about the journal prompts. Definitely gets you out of your comfort zone.

Do The WorkBy Gary John Bishop - [ ] Love this guy- [ ] Self, people, purpose - [ ] You have to be absolutely honest with yourself for this to work- [ ] Try on the uncomfortable truths about yourself; you are a manipulator, you are a liar.

“You are a space for life to happen, a wild and wondrous environment for miracles and hardships and everything in between. You are a moment, a loud bang in a burst of time that trails to a whisper and then disappears into the abyss.”This book is a workbook for the principles for the author’s first book. He reiterates concepts from that book and provides a series of related questions/actions. While I expected this to be a deep dive on previously provided material, I also expected there to be more...

Hot Scottish guy telling you how to stop doing that self-sabotaging shit so you can be happier and more fulfilled? I’ll take 2.

When you read it’s like you were beings hypnotised to do something better for yourself

An Edgy Titled book That’s Actually HelpfulActually pretty decent. The questions can be hard to answer but that’s probably the point. The 7 assignments at the end , I believe, are actually well put together. I was worried by the title, but I’m glad I read it. For you see, this is a million times better than a certain orange covered book- similar premise, different author- skirting around the Internet with the facade of “best selling” high stared ratings. If you want an actually helpful self help...

Just 3 stars.This was great, but it was cut short, like he was holding on to some ideas, may be even he sometimes sounded like those motivational speakers he hates so much.But, I really grew to like the guy, he is an example for real.

This accompanying book to Unf*ck Yourself is a short version with some of the same points as the primary, with just a little more focus on self-reflection. Two things struck me about this book and put me on both sides of the fence about it. In the book, much focus is placed on analyzing what you don't feel capable of and what you believe your limitations are. I will admit this is meant to be a kick-in-the-butt book that stresses getting over yourself and moving forward. I do feel that it failed

The audiobook is kind of great with his Scottish accent swearing at you to do better with your life.I do feel like some of the messaging feels inconsistent with both "fix yourself to fix your relationships, you ungrateful prick" and "get out of toxic relationships-- if it's dead it can only get deader" given basically equal time with no qualifiers for which is which. Of course, I'd probably be suspicious of any book that tells me what, exactly, to do with all my relationships, since the book's a...

I really enjoyed the overall book. I read it using the audiobook edition. I love his motivational voice and the way he delivers its words. It is a workbook though and that makes it impossible to actually try to complete the tasks without a hard copy of the book.

No-BS motivational guide slash journal, more like an addition to "Unf*ck Yourself" and not as good as the predecessor.I liked it, and the straightforward tone definitely works for me, but it fell short compared to Bishop's first book. It was a bit about everything but not enough about one thing, making it unmemorable; however, it totally worked to motivate me in the present moment."You have to hold yourself to account for your own purpose; no one is coming to save you or lift you up or inspire y...

"When you're in a constant conversation about why you're stuck, you'll embolden and embellish it. It will become the altar at which you'll sacrifice your entire life experience."Gary Bishop's no nonsense approach works for me. There's nothing he says that I don't know deep down or haven't heard before. But he cuts to the chase and gives it to you straight. I don't mind the cursing, in fact, it helps me get to the point faster."You have to hold yourself to account for your own purpose; no one is

I listened to his first book “Unf*ck yourself” and really liked it so decided to hear the other ones too. All audio books are read by the author with his Scottish accent. This one is more like a guide and there is accompanying pdf workbook (https://d1xcdyhu7q1ws8.cloudfront.net...), asking you some questions that you need to answer to yourself honestly. The book is separated into 3 parts: relationship with yourself, relationships with others and purpose. It ends with 7 exercises. This is not typ...

Since I read Unfuck Yourself and the other book of Bishop's, I saw this come up in Hoopla and decided to give this a listen as well. I preferred 'Stop Doing that Shit' to Unfuck Yourself, and I liked this workbook to Unfuck yourself least of the bunch.Most of it was fine, though I disagreed with one point about relationships you want to unfuck. He wants you to forgive people in your life, that's fine. He doesn't mean to excuse things that have been done to you, but holding on to that doesn't hur...
