Liked the tittle. Very true. But I am not a fan of self help books. Like the approach on the sections of the book and I don't doubt is good but I am going to have to give it a pass on this one.

The title alone is worth 4 stars!
LOL!!! But seriously though, as a child, I learned that "Yeah, but" responses got me little support and am fascinated that a I've learned to live my life kinda as this self-help book outlines! I must be doing something right, even if I'm still only half-way through the walking section, I feel like this is a road that I'm not alone on now! :) LOL

Am not of those people who would easily pick a self book unless am going through a certain "situation" in life but this review got me want to give it a try. You never know I might pick one or two things out of it.
Thank you for the good review.

Shame, shame, shame on the author! First, I had already made up my mind not to read this book the minute I saw the title. I thought, here we go, another self-help, motivational book. I read the summary on Amazon, wasn't impressed, think I started reading the sample pages, or what little there was of it. I'm reading through the introduction and was so surprised that it was really interesting and good. So now, I'm thinking, this could be a really good book with some good information inside. Then it ends...
The author does not even give the reader one page of chapter 1. :eusa-naughty:

Then I read your review and knew that I had to add this book to my shelf. What the author did not give us, your review certainly did. It was filled with detailed information about what the reader will find inside this book. You were able to inform readers about each chapter in a way that kept me interested. Thanks

After reading the review I find the perfect rating to be inappropriate. The reviewer didn’t find the text to be perfect. That makes the score wrong. I enjoyed the sample however and will be adding this book to my must read list.

I love the idea of a no-nonsense sort of self-help book; I've grown wary of the fluff in many such books. I also like the humor hinted at in the title. Thank you for the thorough review.

I really don't usually spend more than a dollar for eBooks, as I still largely prefer reading print books, but I may just splurge this time. For such a short read, it sounds like it's packed with great information. I like that idea of success helping us succeed in all areas. Looking forward to checking it out. Thanks for the insight!

This is the kind of review that really makes you intrigued to read the book. I think this review is excellently done. This is enough to make me want to read something with the title "If life stinks, get your head out of your buts".

The title of the book alone shows that the author thinks outside the box in a most creative and humourous way.

Again, spectacular review! I will definitely be reading this book and also recommend it to friends.

The reviewer gives the book, it's deserved focus, in the 'Official Review: If life stinks, get your head outta your buts, by Mark L. Wdowiak'! I like the fact that he strongly recommends the book, to the readers! We can make a positive decision about reading it!

Self-help books are not my favorite genre but this one sounds interesting. I like that he talks about helping yourself and working. It doesn't take the everything's great rosy approach but is instead realistic and helpful. I also love when you said the author talks about how success means different things to everyone. Everyone is different and each person has their own ideas on what's successful. Thanks for the thorough review. It was very informative.

Even from the title, this is a unique self-help book. The practical teachings are so ingeniously presented that it sets the book apart from others in the same genre.
