Why are so many of us afraid to simply say what we think? The answer is that we’ve been told that every word we speak should be politically correct and not be offensive to ANYONE. Today’s show introduces you to my friend and mentor who says we shouldn’t mince words in speaking the truth, and sometimes--let’s face it--the truth hurts. Before you start judging him, please note that he also encourages kindness, gratefulness, good manners, charity, integrity, punctuality, responsible parenting, and a return to other good old-fashioned core values.

Larry Winget is a NY Times bestselling author, six times over. He is a TV personality, social commentator, and internationally-acclaimed motivational speaker. His books say it like it is, and you can see that by the titles: Shut Up, Stop Whining & Get a Life, You’re Broke Because You Want To Be, It’s Called Work for a Reason!, Your Kids Are Your Own Fault and Grow a Pair. His latest book is What’s Wrong With Damn Near Everything: How the Collapse of Core Values is Destroying Us, and How to Fix It, and was just released in 2017. 

 

Show Highlights:

• No matter how nice you try to be in your opinions, SOMEONE will hate you for it, so why try to please everyone??

• The premise of Larry’s latest book: “The external application of success doesn’t work; it’s what’s inside you. We’ve lost integrity, work ethic, kindness, appreciation, and responsibility.”
