New Releases by Larry Winget

The straight-talking, New York Times bestselling author and Pitbull of Personal Development® is back with a pithy and prescriptive guide to success. A five-time bestselling author and one of the country’s leading business speakers, Larry has made a reputation for being the first to challenge the positive-attraction gurus and the law-of-attraction bozos with his commonsense approach to success. Larry doesn’t sugar-coat, and he isn’t afraid to make people uncomfortable, because he wants us to stop making excuses, and start getting results. In Grow a Pair, Larry takes on entitlement culture, the self-help movement, political correctness, and more. We’ve all heard the phrase “grow a pair,” but Larry’s advice isn’t about anatomy— it’s about attitude. To get the success we want, we need to reject victimhood in favor of being assertive and finally taking some responsibility. With prescriptive advice on goal achieving, career, personal finance, and more, Grow a Pair will give the readers the kick in the pants they need.

Larry Winget, også kalt personlighetsutviklingens pitbull, har tro på å møte mennesker med såkalt tøff kjærlighet. Hans innfallsvinkel er at livet er din egen feil, og hvis du holder kjeft, slutter å klage og gjør noe med det i stedet, vil du få det bedre med deg selv. Målet til Winget er at leseren skal komme seg opp av sofaen og gjøre noe drastisk for å endre livet sitt i positiv retning.

Mixing humor with candid, hard-hitting advice, the author encourages readers to take life seriously, lighten up a bit, take responsibility for their actions, and make smart decisions in order to achieve success.

Ciò che ottieni nella vita dipende da te. La vita non è ciò che ti accade, ma ciò che ti crei. Quindi se hai deciso di cambiare la tua vita e ottenere finalmente ciò che vuoi, questo è il TUO libro. Non è un libro di auto-aiuto. ll pit bull della comunicazione (Larry Winget ha proprio questo soprannome) in questo libro “va giù duro” e non accetta scuse. Tutti abbiamo problemi, ma a nessuno interessano veramente quelli altrui. Quindi non è piangendo sulla spalla di qualcun altro che si ottengono risultati. I tuoi risultati dipendono esclusivamente da te. Se fino ad ora le cose non sono andate come volevi, è ora di cambiare modo di fare. Prima però devi diventare consapevole di tutta la negatività del tuo stile di vita attuale. In questo libro troverai passo passo tutti gli step e tutte le domande che devi porti (e a cui devi rispondere per iscritto così da focalizzarti bene su tutta la questione) per cambiare la tua vita. Ed ottenere soddisfazione. Leggendo il libro ti ritroverai a scontrarti con tantissime verità scomode. Ma se le persone non si scuotono non possono percepire quella sensazione spiacevole e negativa che le porterà a “darsi una mossa” per cambiare. Se non puoi comprarti qualcosa, la colpa non è dei prezzi alti, la colpa è solo tua che non hai abbastanza soldi. Perché li spendi in stupidaggini o perchè non ne guadagni abbastanza. E tu finora hai accettato tutto questo. Ed in ogni caso devi imparare ad essere grato, sempre, per ciò che hai, poco o tanto che sia. Ma questo non ti autorizza ad accettare passivamente una vita che non ti soddisfa. Larry Winget ti scuote buttandoti addosso ciò che già sai, ma che hai sempre cercato di fingere di non sapere. Ciò che hai o non hai, ciò che sei o non sei è il semplice risultato di ciò che fai tu, nessun altro. Leggendo il libro potrai capire cosa c''è che non va in te, nella tua vita e nel tuo modo di fare. Paradossamente capirai presto che “più dai, più ricevi” perchè solo quando dai via, puoi fare spazio al nuovo e al meraviglioso (nuovo amore, nuovo denaro, nuovi amici). La natura detesta il vuoto e appena si crea uno spazietto nella tua vita perchè hai lasciato andare qualcosa (sia essa una cosa materiale o un atteggiamento), eccola pronta a riempire tale vuoto che qualcosa di fantastico. Devi solo provarci. Anzi devi. L''autore Larry Winget è noto come il Pitbull della Crescita Personale. È un filosofo di successo dotato di un contagioso senso dell’umorismo.

Read Larry Winget''s posts on the Penguin Blog. Straight-talking, bestselling Pitbull of Parenting Larry Winget says "This is not a fix your kid book. It''s a fix the way you parent book. You owe it to your kids to parent with a plan!" Being a parent is the toughest job in the world, especially with the increasing number of negative influences and pitfalls facing our kids today, from childhood obesity and out-of-control celebrity culture to the dangers of the internet and credit card debt. Larry Winget has never been one to shy away from tough truths, and what he says here may well be difficult for some parents to swallow: we are in the midst of a crisis with our kids. Kids today are over-indulged, over-entertained, under-achieving, and under-disciplined, with a sense of entitlement that is crippling society. And the real problem is that parents aren''t paying attention to what''s going on. If they were they would realize that most kids today barely read and write, except with their thumbs on their cell phones! Well-behaved, respectful kids are the exception, not the rule, and for the most part, parents are to blame. Responsible parenting is about beginning with the end in mind and parenting with a plan. But most parents have never stopped to consider what kind of adult they want to raise. They have all this fun creating a baby, but they don''t have a plan for the end product. Larry''s message to parents: Teach your kids to become the best adults they can be. But don''t expect your kids to improve until you improve. Your Kids Are Your Own Fault covers familiar lessons and principles that have led Larry''s readers to greater success with money, career, and goal setting, this time at a level where they can be taught to children. This book shows parents how to design the adult they want their kid to become and work backwards to make sure it happens. Kids don''t come with an instruction manual, but finally being a parent does!

Some authors of business books stroke your ego by reinforcing information you already know. Others give you detailed statistical analysis of the economy or buying trends encouraging you to get lost in the pages of boredom until you have no idea what the book is even about. Some authors exploit the hottest buzzword and beat it to death without giving you any real idea how to do what they suggest must be done. Some say that all you have to do is love your job in order to be successful at it. The worst of the lot tell cute little parables through inane dialogues with messages so simple and trite that we should all be insulted. In IT''S CALLED WORK FOR A REASON Larry Winget tells the unvarnished truth about what it takes to be successful.

L''auteur est un partisan du proverbe Aide-toi et le ciel t''aidera. Il ne va pas dans la dentelle pour vous dire la vérité toute nue, quitte à vous secouer un peu. Vous êtes trop gros?

Bref, si votre objectif est d''avoir une vie palpitante, arrêtez de geindre et faire la victime, agissez pour changer les choses! Sinon assumez votre vie minable. [SDM].
