really? that means i will have to try this book out. Though the title sounds somehow.

There are many errors in the book. Language errors.
Poor paragraphing. The title makes little sense to any serious reader.

But is that really the way to advice his readers?
The formatting of the chapters is not upto to any good standard.
Even if the author was addressing the general audience, the language used makes the authors book sound awkward.

The conclusion is also not interesting to read.
hmmm that is the reason i always runaway from selfhelp books. Hoping this will suprise me though

It will help shape their thought pattern and ultimately lead them to achieving their dreams.
Guess its for younger reader then. will go for a sample read too..

This is a good self-guidebook. What I love about the book is the story of personal experiences. There are many such books which are flooded with theories and techniques, but when we apply, it doesn't fit very well. So, from a personal and real experience, I can learn a lot. And, the title is very attractive.
A joke is to entertain people. If it fails to do so, it's something else!

Thanks for the heads up. I can deal with a few errors. I really don't like when books have bad formatting.

I liked its tone. It is serious and unapologetic. For a person who is above 60 years of age to give such advice , it is a kind gesture.
What I liked least is the use of some words which bordered 'offensive' and 'strong'. Even some words in the title are not very kind. Perhaps this is what the author intended it to be.
I give it 4 out of 4 stars.

I read the whole book and did a review on it. I found it fascinating and I used many of his tips. It received a 4 out of 4 star rating from me because it was very captivating and relevent to my life. If Life Stinks Get Your Head Outta Your Buts by Mark L. Wdowiak is a book I would recommend to anyone that is interested in changing their life.

I love how blunt and straightforward the title is. At times, people do need a rude awakening. But, the tone of the book was amazing and it is indeed an awesome self-self book. I think this book will help a lot of people who are in desperate need to change their lifestyle.

BookReader+6 wrote: 01 Nov 2018, 14:32 I will recommend it to those looking for some direction in their lives. I liked the author's conversational tone throughout the book, and rated it 3/4 stars. The reason I didn't give it a 4/4 star rating was because I felt it was slightly too repetitive, but the repetition definitely gets the author's points across.
It seems like an inspirational book. I would like to read it if given the chance to review it.

I have yet to read the book as well, but from the comments, it does seem like a good resource for those in need. I particular appreciate that the author includes a couple of relatable anecdotes for the reader to easily relate to.

I only read the sample on Amazon, but I do like the attitude of the author. It has some great insight and advise. If you find yourself getting upset about something in the book, odds are you need to see how it is relating to your life. It has a great message: take responsibility for your life.

I hesitated in signing up to review this book due to the title. I read the official review so decided to go ahead and get past my resistance. I've read the book for content and am now reading again for proofing. I agree that this should go for younger readers. My first impression is that it is a great compilation of quotes from other people. The author seems passionate about his advice, as proved by his use of multiple exclamation points. One piece of advice I'll take from the book, I'll "Read it again!"

The title and the cover are very engaging. The aspiring way of presenting the texts catches the attention of the reader. I give it 4 out 4 stars. This self-help book is one of a kind.
