    About this ebook

    This is the long awaited second-edition of Paul McGee’s international bestselling personal development heavyweight S.U.M.O. Weighing in with humour, insight, practical tips and personal anecdotes, it’s a thought provoking – and possibly life–changing – read. S.U.M.O. has helped tens of thousands of people fulfil their potential, seize opportunities, succeed at work and respond to adverse situations with a positive attitude. Now comprehensively expanded and even more interactive, the 2nd edition, will help S.U.M.O. fans – and S.U.M.O. virgins – get even more out of this popular, straight-talking guide.

    S.U.M.O. stands for Shut Up, Move On. It's a phrase to say to ourselves (and sometimes others) when we are acting or thinking in a way that is hindering our ability to succeed. It doesn't necessarily mean 'get over it' or 'pull yourself together' (although there may be occasions when both responses are necessary). 'Shut Up' means stop what you're doing, take time out to reflect, let go of baggage and beliefs that hinder your potential. 'Move On' means tomorrow can be different from today, look for new possibilities, don't just think about it, take action.

    There are six S.U.M.O. principles that are designed to help you create and enjoy a brilliant life. If you are wrestling with life's challenges, these principles will help you do so more successfully.

    1. A brand new principle: E+R=O – Event + Response = Outcome. It's not just what happens to you but how you respond to it that shapes your life – you do have control.
    2. Change Your T–Shirt – take responsibility for your own life and don't be a victim.
    3. Develop Fruity Thinking – change your thinking and change your results.
    4. Hippo Time is OK – understand how setbacks affect you and how to recover from them.
    5. Remember the Beachball – increase your understanding and awareness of other people's world.
    6. Learn Latin – change comes through action not intention. Overcome the tendency to put things off.
    7. Ditch Doris Day – create your own future rather than leave it to chance. Forget the attitude 'que sera, sera, whatever will be, will be.'

    'A superb book' Allan and Barbara Pease, bestselling authors of Why Men Don't Listen & Women Can't Read Maps

    'The S.U.M.O. approach is powerful, simple and effective. Anyone who reads it is sure to look at themselves and the world differently as a result' Octavius black and Sebastian bailey, co-founders of The Mind Gym

      A particular take on the life coaching process by a coach and motivational speaker/trainer, Paul McGee.McGee identifies six key points to creating and enjoying a brilliant life.1. Change Your T-Shirt (take responsibility for your life)2. Develop Fruity Thinking (take charge of your thinking)3. Hippo Time Is OK (it's OK to do a little wallowing)4. Remember The Beachball (look at things from other people's perspective too)5. Learn Latin (carpe diem)6. Ditch Doris Day (ditch the laissez faire attitude)The book was a straight-forward read with some interesting twists on old self-help content.
    • 5/5
      This book has helped me alot to rethink my life and how i see everything in this world
    • 5/5
      A really easy read and ideas that make sense and can be followed. I feel really inspired by the book. I like the personal stories about Paul’s life which really help to understand how the SUMO principles can be implemented.
