How to be a Complete and Utter Failure in Life, Work and Everything
08 Aug 07

Life is about being negative, right? It’s about not taking opportunities, never changing and, most importantly, feeling unhappy and unfulfilled.

How to Be a Complete and Utter Failure is the antedote to the motivational, gung-ho, over-enthused tone of all the usual self-improvement guides. 

But be warned: whatever you do, don’t do the opposite of what you learn here or else you’re in serious danger of making a success of your life.

“This book doesn't do what it says on the tin. Quite the opposite. It is written with commendable charm and clarity, laden with chuckles and insights in equal measure. You will laugh and you will think – often at the same time.” - Neil Mullarkey, Founder-Member of the Comedy Store Players

How To Be A Complete and Utter Failure took the personal development market by storm when it was originally published.  Us cynical Brits enjoyed the ironic humour and self deprecation, sadly lacking in the average personal development book.

Written by one of the UK’s top motivational speakers and a genuinely funny man, Steve McDermott , the book does have a serious message and it will inspire people to make improvements, but it will give them a good laugh along the way.

This unique self-unimprovement guide brings together 43  leading ideas and concepts in personal and business development, in fast, easily digestible chunks. All of these ideas have been tried by real people via the author's own work as a speaker, trainer, coach and consultant.

So make sure you get the most from this guide: Don't read it. Just leave it by the side of your bed gathering dust. It can then act as a powerful reminder that the worst thing you can possibly do in order to sabotage your chances of future failure, is to open up your mind to any new ideas or take any sort of action.
