Stop Doing That Sh*t
Stop Doing That Sh*t: End Self-Sabotage and Demand Your Life Back | Gary John Bishop
6 posts | 10 read | 9 to read
From the author of the New York Times and international bestseller Unfu*k Yourself Gary John Bishop presents a no-holds-barred guide to breaking through our cycles of self-sabotage to get what we want out of life. In Unfu*k Yourself, Gary John Bishop told us it was time to stop making excusesto recognize and take responsibility for the negative self-talk holding us back. In Stop Doing That Sh*t, he builds on that message, teaching us how to stop self-sabotaging behavior. Bishop explains how our destructive cycles come down to the way that were wired. He then identifies different types of people and the ways we fu*k ourselves over: We cant save money. We land in the same type of toxic relationship. Were stuck in a rut at work. Analyzing why we act the way we do, including what our common grenades are that blow up our lives, Bishop then shows how we can interrupt the cycle and stop self-sabotaging our lives. Written in the same in your face style as Unfu*k Yourself, Stop Doing that Sh*t will help us get in touch with our psychological machinery so we learn to interrupt negative thoughts and behavior before they start, allowing us to give our attention to something else, and start to find success in the areas we thought we never could. We can take back our lives. We may have fu*ked up in the past, but Stop Doing That Sh*t will show us how to break the patterns in order to live the lives we yearn to have.

This book made me dive a little deeper than I expected. It took a bit to get through so I could really focus on the concepts. There was a lot about letting go and the why behind what we do, much more than on how to ‘fix‘ it. (He‘d probably hate that I used that term!) I know I‘ll need to revisit it when the motivation to be different wanes.

peaches424 Same here! I‘m definitely taking my time with this one. I guess I sort of subconsciously already knew I had some semi-permanent views on myself, others, and life, but actually identifying what they are is helping me understand myself a lot better! Definitely a hands-on, reflective read. 3y
SoapboxEdits Yes! It all makes sense to me, with throw-ness and distraction...I‘ve been trying to remember to use his suggestions, and it works pretty well. Hope you enjoyed it through the end. 3y
