Don't Bullsh*t Yourself!: Crush the Excuses That are Holding You Back
"Frustrated that nothing is going your way and it feels like there's nothing you can do about it? You might be making excuses and not even realize it. I reject excuses and embrace solutions. When I'm done with you, you will too." During his many years as an entrepreneur, consultant, and star of Spike TV's hit show Bar Rescue, Jon Taffer has witnessed the destruction that results when people bullsh*t themselves. He argues that excuses are the root cause of nearly every business and personal problem. Fortunately, Jon knows how to fix your excuse habit for good. This book is almost as good as having Jon in your face on Bar Rescue, telling you the hard truths you've been avoiding. Whether you're an entrepreneur, manager, employee, or just trying to improve your personal life, you will benefit from Jon's insights and experiences. Don't Bullsh*t Yourself! is a brutally honest, no-nonsense guide that will help you kick those excuses to the curb. If you can stop bullsh*tting yourself and address your real issues, you will gain the power to turn your life around completely. Taffer breaks excuses down into six major categories, illustrating them with real-life examples such as Marcus Luttrell, the lone survivor of a SEAL team mission in Afghanistan, and Christine King, founder and CEO of Your Best Fit, who built a successful company despite being paralyzed in a horrific Jet Ski accident. These inspiring stories, combined with Taffer's own experiences, will give you the confidence to identify and face your own excuses head-on. As Taffer puts it, "If you own your failure and truly blame yourself, you will fight it. But if you blame an excuse or someone else, you have no reason to change. Own your failure and you will own your success...We're going to get there-together."

The Power of Conflict: Speak Your Mind and Get the Results You Want
Star and executive producer of the hit TV show Bar Rescue and New York Times bestselling author of Don't Bullsh*t Yourself, Jon Taffer reveals the transformational power of conflict, sharing his toolkit for arguing smarter—at home, at work, and in life. Most people try their best to avoid conflict. Bar Rescue host Jon Taffer understands that. Conflict can have negative results. It’s easy to think that the key to a happy workplace or marriage is to avoid conflict. In reality, that’s not the case—the key is to argue smarter. Enter the Toolkit for Getting Conflict Right. Taffer’s approach is focused on deliberate conflict—otherwise known as “conflict with a purpose.” There are selective and strategic ways to have difficult conversations, and when doing so, to stay aware of your objectives rather than escalating tension unnecessarily. As Taffer explains, “The key is to act affirmatively, constructively, and productively.” Eliminating conflict isn’t always the answer; inevitably there will be times when it will arise. Engaging in conflict can be a way to clear the air, and get to the bottom of issues that, once resolved, can strengthen friendships, ease tensions at work, and address problems before they have a chance to bubble over. With easy-to-follow advice that shows how to best engage in constructive discourse to get the results you want, The Power of Conflict provides you with the rules to argue smarter, uphold your values, and keep the conversation real. The step-by-step guide starts with the inception of the conflict and carries through the difficult conversation’s conclusion, arming readers with the skills and confidence to fight for their principles. Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.
