Didn't think this applied to me, boy was I wrong.

I've read, then listened to Marks other books, talking to crazy and just listen. Didn't think get out of your own way would be useful or needed by me. This is the best book ive ever read, im so impressed with marks understanding of human nature. mark has explained my hampster head and what to do about it, priceless.
thank you.

Good Book With Plenty of Helpful Anecdotes

I liked the fact the 38 chapters deal with a different self defeating behaviour and was heartened to see that I didn’t have them all. Also as I read this book slowly over a period of months and worked on myself I realised that I was no longer getting in my own way in some of the ways I had done initially and that as I worked in the test they were beginning to disappear.

I’m going to write these behaviours down in a list and keep them near my desk for easy reference when I get stuck so I’m aware and can do something about it in the moment.

I appreciate the anecdotes in the book as they helped me see that almost anyone anywhere can experience any and all of these self defeating behaviours and they can be overcome.

The reading is pleasant and the voice clear and bright I enjoyed listening even though this challenges some very deep seated behaviours.

Amazing! It’s like he knew me personally!

This book is just amazing! Mark’s voice is so soothing and gentle. It’s like having your own personal therapist! I can’t wait to share it with my family and friends. I will definitely be revisiting it over and over. It helped me to understand it’s not only other people in my life but also what I am doing wrong! I will own my behaviour and communicate much better from now on. Everyone should read this book! Thank you so much Mark. I am now a fan of your work and must read anything else you have done!

Insightful

Insightful and very helpful with clear examples...but the chapter on procrastination is very short... needed much more on that specifically.

Poor advice for the most part!

Let's go with 50/50. I found half of this advice valuable. But for the other half, especially the advice regarding relationships, the better advice would have been to set boundaries. A better book would be "Set Boundaries, Find Peace."
