Book: A Complaint Free World

Posted by: najirashid on Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008

My wife and I are members of a mastermind group that meet once a week to assist each other with our goals. At one of our meetings Yamisi Daniel owner of InTouch Virtual Assistance told us about a book she read, “A Complaint Free World: How to Stop Complaining and Start Enjoying the Life You Always Wanted” by Will Bowen. The book sounded interesting. I buy at least a book a week on different topics, business, real estate, self help, golf, etc., so I went straight to the book store and purchased 2 copies for my wife and myself. Complaining is addicting. The more you complain the more you will have to complain about. Most of the time the things we complain about are things that we can not change or will not change.

Bowen says- quit complaining. If you do, you’ll be happier and healthier. His complaint free world challenge- is to stop complaining for 21 consecutive days. Why 21 days, some experts say that’s how long it take to break a habit. Bowen is giving away free purple bracelets that you can wear to help you realize exactly where you are on the continuum of positive and negative expression. Here is how to use the bracelet.

Begin to wear the bracelet, on either wrist.

When you catch yourself complaining, gossiping or criticizing (it’s ok, everyone does) move the bracelet to the other arm and begin again.

If you hear someone else who is wearing a bracelet complain, you may point out their need to switch the bracelet to the other arm; BUT if you’re going to do this, you must move your bracelet first!

Stay with it. It may take many months but when you reach 21 days you will find that your entire life is happier, more loving and more enjoyable.

I thought the book was excellent and our group has started the 21 days challenge. This book will help you to stay focus on the things you want in your life and instead of complaining about what you don’t like in your life you will look for ways to make changes. “A Complaint Free World” is a must read!
