S.U.M.O (Shut Up, Move One) by Paul McGee

The straight-talking guide to succeeding in life. 

The messages within this book are that by looking at things differently you can better enjoy life and be more successful. I have learned that E + R = O (event + response = outcome).  I can control how I respond to something which can give me a better outcome. I can recognise when someone is ‘wearing the victim t-shirt’ and know I don’t do this.  I can see that I sometimes need a bit of ‘hippo time’ but quickly get over it and pick myself up out of the wallowing.  And appreciate that not everyone sees the beachball from the same side that I do.  


This is not the genre of book I would usually choose to read, but it is interesting and quite thought provoking.  I will definitely be able to take some of the messages and use them in my daily life to better understand myself and others.
