A lot of ranting about how fat, lazy and irresponsible we all are, but no tips on how to improve your life.

I give Get Out of Your Own Way 4 out of 5 stars.

This book doesn’t hold your hand, and honestly, that’s what makes it work. Larry Winget basically grabs you by the shoulders and says, “Enough with the excuses. Get moving.”

There’s nothing overly complicated here, and that’s the point. The message is simple: most people already know what they need to do, they just aren’t doing it consistently. Winget drives home the idea that procrastination, excuses, blaming circumstances, and waiting for the “perfect time” are exactly what keep people stuck.

What I liked most was how practical the advice was. No fluff. No fake motivation. Just straightforward reminders about discipline, accountability, habits, and taking action even when you don’t feel like it. A lot of this book hit especially hard when he talked about how easy it is to waste time explaining why things haven’t happened instead of actually making progress.

If you’re looking for deep psychology or groundbreaking theories, this probably isn’t your book. But if you need a blunt kick in the rear to stop overthinking and start executing, this delivers.

Simple. Direct. Practical. And honestly, a message most people probably need to hear.

This book feels like an introduction to something better that never happens. It felt like an abrupt ending without giving any clear or precise tips. It starts out fairly interesting with some very humorous moments but then it doesn’t deliver anything other than very basic advice. It could have been better if it had more worthwhile content.

It's your own fault. How many people need to hear that and refuse to accept it. Winget once again delivers the 2x4 with some common sense advice and some suggestions to make it work.
"You want to know how to avoid problems? You can't. Problems are just part of life. The only people without problems are dead people."
I'll take full responsibility for needing this one. I used to think life was where it should be when there were no problems. I'm still alive, so I'm going to have problems. Today, tomorrow, next week. It's an opportunity to learn and grow and not mope about why me.

I’ve read a lot of self-help books because a lot of times they are great insights of human attitude and psychology. Honest truth, they are usually a little cringe for me. I think I like this book because it wasn’t so soft and it was reminiscent of the book extreme ownership. Kind of felt like I was listening to a grandpa or an older father. Good advise. Great book. I think a lot of people would benefit from reading this.

[Linda Treese · Rating 4 out of 5]

Not the greatest - author "shouts" at audience, and some advice is repetitive, however I was able to take one or two positive points to use in my life, which is really my only goal with some of these self-help listens. The gist of the book is "write it down" - write down what's in your way, write down what you want to achieve -- set clear goals.

[Jaya · Rating 1 out of 5]

The style of writing is shallow and self-bragging, and the ideas are generic and repetitive. Also, unlike the author, I won’t be proud of my son if my grown son wanted to be a policeman so they can “blow up the bad guys”. Not to maintain peace in society, not so serve their community, but to have the best run and shoot” the bad guys “! Too scared to ask who they think the “bad guys” are.

I really liked this in your face self-help book.

Don't create a "To Do List"; create a "To Get Done List". ~ Larry Winget

This is a great audio program and will give you a kick in the butt!

Larry Winget has a style that is not your typical speaker. He is very straight-forward in his delivery.

Don't expect any fluff from this program...only straight answers and truth.

[Michael Tarpinian · Rating 4 out of 5]

Typical Larry Winget, which means really good. This guy is a motivational speaker!
