THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER*

Celebrating 10 Years of Shut Up, Move On

Paul McGee's international bestselling personal development heavyweight S.U.M.O. has helped hundreds of thousands of people around the world fulfil their potential, seize opportunities, succeed at work, and respond to adverse situations with a positive attitude. Weighing in with humour, insight, practical tips, and personal anecdotes, it's a thought provoking--and possibly life-changing--read. Now newly updated to celebrate 10 years since its first publication and including up-to-date case studies and examples, as well brand new exercises to test yourself, S.U.M.O: 10th Anniversary Edition will help SUMO fans, as well as SUMO amateurs, get more out of this bestselling, self-help classic.

There are six S.U.M.O. principles that are designed to help you create and enjoy a brilliant life:

Change Your T-Shirt-- take responsibility for your own life and don't be a victim. Develop Fruity Thinking-- change your thinking and change your results. Hippo Time is OK-- understand how setbacks affect you and how to recover from them. Remember the Beachball-- increase your understanding and awareness of other people's world. Learn Latin-- change comes through action not intention. Overcome the tendency to put things off. Ditch Doris Day-- create your own future rather than leave it to chance. Forget the attitude 'que sera, sera, whatever will be, will be.' *The Sunday Times, June 2015

S.U.M.O. Great Book

Suberb book - great ideas - easy to read and learn from. So many other self-improvement books are far too long - and spend many pages trying to get a single point across. This is a bargain at any price.

Outstanding Book!!! SUMO stands out from the rest!

Paul McGee delivers a book that doesn't come around very often. As I started to read, I couldn't put it down. His writing style is wonderful, and his story telling is impactful. Most self-help books primarily focus upon one area of concern. Paul helps inspire you to rise to whatever challenge life hands you. He does this by giving you insight into understanding yourself and others. When it comes to planning and having action in your life, Paul will help challenge your thought process. The Ditch Doris Day section was clever in discussing how you can take ownership of your future. To make the most of your life, learn the SUMO method. It is simple, straightforward and compelling. I found this book to be very valuable.

Almost there

A very well written and amusing book with a number of life changing ideals contained within the pages. I have read a numbe of these books and whilst rating Geoff Burch's "Way of the Dog" as the premium book of this genre, McGee's fluid style of writing and ideas form a very good package. Perhaps reading the "Way of the Dog" together with SUMO will truly give you all you need to get to the top of the tree!
