Tough love indeed. And I agree, the choices we make in life will either lead us to a better or worse situation. We are responsible for our lives. This book is a mustread. Thank you for your informative review.

This is indeed a self-help book. I like the concept of 'crawling', 'walking', and 'running'. I'll love to read this book.
Thanks for the great review.

I myself have read several self-help books only to find that I return to old ways and habits in a few days. I hope that within the pages of this book I can find exercises which will promote new positive habits. I am tired of attempting to change while continuing to use the same way of thinking which caused the problem in the first place. I'm sick of my buts! :lol2:
Great review.

This book is a very good book for lazy people to read and understand that they should live with intention and not by accident. I rate this book 4/4 and the best book ever. All the best advice in here.

Good review, I'm glad you liked the book. I also think the title alone is worth 4 stars. I'm just not convinced that this book is much more different than the rest of self-improvement books so I will be not reading it at the moment.

Mark's approach to this self help book is very interesting. I like how his dad told him to save money to buy his car instead of loaning him money. Great review.

Don't really like self help books. But this one sounds like it might be worth reading. Three areas of thinking, funny writing, and things that might actually work- what could be better. Congrats on BOTD.

An excellent review, and quite enjoyable. I expected this book to be different, at least because of the title. However this review seems to pint out that the book is much more than that. I am very interested in reading this book. Congrats to the author on #BOTD

The title of this book is already wetting my appetite. I'd love to grab and devour it ASAP. I love motivational and inspirational books when they aren't fluffy and impracticable.

I also thought that the title was awesome. I was impressed was the blunt language the author used, from reading the sample. I got the feeling that the author knew what real work was. I also felt the author was relateable. Great review and your covered the book wonderfully.

I've heard about this book before. And even though I don't read self help books that often, this one I would because it doesn't tell you how wonderful you are. Instead it tells you to work and “live with intention, and not by accident”.

This review was most helpful and has highlighted important elements of the book. The title made me hesitant at first but from the sample read I was pleasantly surprised that it was a self help book with valuable nuggets. This book is definitely one I would love to read.
