About this title

From the Inside Flap

Larry Winget doesn't pull punches. He doesn't dance around the tough questions. He made himself a bestselling author by telling everyone to Shut Up, Stop Whining and Get a Life and then Grow A Pair. Now the global icon of personal development deconstructs damn near everything with his caustic, honest, and hilarious insights. What's Wrong with Damn Near Everything! is a must-have edition for every one of Larry's millions of followers; for those unfamiliar with The Pitbull of Personal DevelopmentŪ, read this latest guidebook to living a better life now and go on to read the rest later. It's time to wake up!

Larry is in top form throughout every page of this new volume, examining the four major pillars of life and how they've become eroded due to the collapse of our core values. He cuts through politics, biased media, and bogus spin of every kind to get down to what's really fouling up our society, businesses, education system, and government.

If you can't relate to the "positive attitude" motivational speakers and the Law Of Attraction bozos, Larry has your brand of back-to-basics, commonsense approach to life where hard work and excellence are still the keys to success. True to form, he gets into it right away and lays out a categorical explanation of what's wrong with people. Then, he goes into the particular ways a vacuum of core values has effed up the way we do business, educate our children, and govern ourselves. Every single chapter makes you laugh, think, and may make you feel uncomfortable. In the end, every argument you can throw at Larry's brilliantly logical solutions only proves they're bulletproof. People of all ages and walks of life can benefit from this book because it provides:

• An authoritative line in the sand—which side are you on? Are you part of the problem or the solution?
• Immediately useful advice for nailing down your core values in order to be a better person and citizen, advance your career, and improve your children's education
• A rewarding read that's as informative and inspiring as it is entertaining

If you think the world is messed up, you're right. The first step to fixing it is understanding What's Wrong with Damn Near Everything!
