The Politically Incorrect Success System

by Larry Winget

The cancer of political correctness has not only helped to form a society of insincere, oversensitive, and under-achieving people-it has deprived individuals from the joy of living authentically and boldly. Well, living authentically and boldly has never been a problem for Larry Winget. Known as the Pitbull of Personal Development, Larry is not afraid to tell it like it is about what it takes to be successful. And he's also not afraid of skewering some of those well-known shibboleths of personal development---like The Law of Attraction and the path of effortless success that are peddled by so many motivational speakers.

In this book, Larry will take on the political correctness that has infected our society, and the personal development industry. He'll outline an effective back to the basics approach to help YOU be more successful. Larry still believes that hard work and excellence are the keys to success and communicates that like no other person on the planet can! Larry makes you think. He makes you uncomfortable. He offers common sense solutions that are impossible to argue with. On top of all that, he is hilarious.

"Rule No. 1: Do what you said you would do, when you said you would do it, the way you said you would do it." (Larry Winget, The Politically Incorrect Success System)

Written and narrated by the man they call The Pit Bull of Personal Development, Larry Winget. You will not hear flowery statements from him. He tells it like it is. The first thing you will learn is your life is your own fault. If you want your life to change, you have to change. It is no one's fault but your own...Not the governments fault, not your bosses fault, not your parents fault, not the schools fault. It's your fault. You must take personal responsibly for your business, your career, your relationships, your development, your money...

He gives you his take on all these mentioned in a straight forward manner. Be prepared though, you are going to hear the truth and may not like it, but he does it for your benefit.

Once in a while, I'll listen to Winget's audiobook for some direct, sensible advice. Although the advice is simple, it's a good reminder to work hard and excel at what you do. Too many people think hard work is sufficient. Look at all the failed restaurants; they put a lot of time and effort into the business. But did they know how to run a business, and did they provide good food? It isn't enough to be passionate about the job. There are many examples where people don't care enough to excel at their jobs. When a service person arrives late (or not at all), the service person could have easily called to let the customer know. Yet the workers and the company think it's acceptable to operate this way.

Direct, clear, no-nonsense advice. This is a solid baseline for personal and professional life.

The section on marriage lacks a Christian sacramental view or an adequate philosophical understanding of love. But that's not Larry's purpose. He says repeatedly that if you're doing X right, he's not talking to you about X. What this system does is pull anything below a certain baseline of responsibility UP to that baseline. We're all fallen people, and each of us needs that pull up in at least one (and likely more) areas of our life.

I really enjoy Larry’s no nonsense approach to the topic of success and personal growth. So much attention to detail that one really needs to experience this book multiple times over the course of a year to grasp all of the concepts and begin to incorporate them into one’s life to make them their own.
