He then identifies different types of people—archetypes—and the ways we fu*k ourselves over, teaching us how to recover from self-limiting patterns, such as:Never being able to save money or set realistic financial goalsLanding in the same type of toxic relationships with an inability to set boundariesConstantly worrying about what we can’t control or how others may view—and judge—usCommunicating with insecurity and self-doubt, instead of confidence and convictionAnalyzing 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. When we can stop negative thoughts and behaviors before they even start, we can achieve the unthinkable and start to find success in the areas we thought we never could.Look, you might have fu*ked up in the past, so what? Stop Doing That Sh*t reveals how you can live the life you always knew you wanted but could never quite seem to have. As Bishop says, “The future has arrived. Now what the hell are you going to do about it?” Well, your future starts today.

"I read Unf*ck Yourself by Mr. Bishop last year and was pleasantly surprised by his wit and honesty. I gave the book four stars (3.5) and truly enjoyed some of the ideas and insights he had impressed upon readers in that book.<br/>When I saw this one, I thought that I should see what else he had to offer and I had to share with you all my insurmountable frustration with this book.<br/>Mr. Bishop likes to say he ‘cuts through the fluff’ but I feel as though this book did just the opposite of that. There were so many things that were regurgitated and reiterated that there were times I didn’t know if I would have the patience to finish. He has some great insights and as always is sarcasm and banter are a nice way to keep things light. That being said, this book did not need to be as long as it was. I think ⅓ of the length would have sufficed and all the rest was literal ‘fluff’.<br/><br/>If you enjoyed it, I am truly happy for you. I unfortunately did not get as much out of it as I did his first book. For those wondering if they should read it: I would implore you to read Unf*ck Yourself first, and then see if you would like more of Mr. Bishop after that."
"Some deep personal insights can be found if you spend some time really (and I emphasize heavily - REALLY) thinking about Gary’s framework of the three saboteurs: yourself, other people, and life.<br/><br/>There were some interesting quotes and questions posed by some interesting philosophers, such as, Martin Heidegger, Hans-Georg Gadamer, Edmund Husserl, and Viktor Franklin.<br/><br/>Bishop describes life like riding a story-line arc in an ancient Greek tragedy. And the ‘hero’ of that story always fails or falls just about as success appears self-evident... and that “YOU” are the main reason why failure occurs.<br/><br/>I loved the introspection- I loved really thinking about the saboteurs and how they may have played a role in my life so far...<br/><br/>What I didn’t like so much was the lack of focus on thee solution... it basically sounded like so now that you know your issues just acknowledge whenever they arise, and believe me they will, just acknowledge their presence and then ignore them and don’t stop your progress just keep on keeping on.<br/><br/>The other thing that honestly did bother me was the too many f* bombs thrown-into the book - the ending felt like an expletive laced tirade of just suck it up and get $-it done. It added to the spice in the beginning- but just like too much Old Spice it just started to really stink near the end.<br/><br/>Otherwise a great thinking book."
