Purchase options and add-ons
Why do you act the way you do? Do you ever feel like you get stuck in destructive cycles that hold you back from living the life you really want? In a dynamic, compelling and aha-filled journey, Stop Doing That Sh*t helps you connect the dots of your “stuff” all the way from your past to the present. You’ll make sense of yourself as you uncover how to interrupt those destructive cycles of yours and make the kind of profound shift needed to get your life on track.
If you can’t save money, if you keep ending up in the same types of toxic relationships, if you feel unloved, don’t fit in, not enough or any one of the myriad of ways that a human being trashes an otherwise good life, this is the book for you.
Written in the same irreverent, in-your-face style that resonated with the hundreds of thousand of fans who read Unfu*k Yourself,Stop Doing that Sh*t skillfully reveals our deepest subconscious machinery, with a real-world approach to powerfully translate our most negative thoughts and behaviors into a vitalizing, sabotage-free future. “Stop indulging yourself with fantasies and dramas and unresolved issues. Wake the hell up!” Bishop writes.
Look, you might have fu*ked up in the past, so what? Stop Doing That Sh*t reveals how you can break free of those deep-seated patterns to live the life you always knew you wanted but could never quite seem to have. As Bishop says, “The future has arrived. Now what the hell are you going to do about it?”

- Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2021I've read hundreds of self help books and this one is for sure in the top 5-which includes his first book "Unfuck Yourself". I highly recommend reading that one first as it is a great segway into this book. Not necessary-but really helpful. I also purchased the audio version of the kindle books as I love listening to him speak. His accent is cute and totally understandable. It also helps to get his direction when he's being playfully sarcastic. I love the directness, all the stops pulled out and the "this is how it is" approach. If you are in to keeping your suitcase full of excuses with you as your life baggage and an additional carryon that explains your suitcase excuses-don't even bother. For me it was an audible slap in the face. I needed it clearly. My life is forever different. I was living in my sometimes comfortable, sometimes miserable, never changing groundhog day of a life. When I stepped back and reviewed the last 10 years I was so mad at myself. Yes there were tons of terrible things that happened during that time that would've crushed a lot of people. But guess what? I CHOSE to stay down and maintain the status quo. I didn't take any of those situations and learn and move past them in a positive direction I could've made that choice to do something with the experience instead of being stagnant and accepting that this is the way it was. It is what it is is NOT a thing! Even if you can't change what happened or is happening to you-you certainly can change the way you respond and go forward that much more enlightened. Gary explains that even misery is sometimes easier to wallow in than to make a move to make things better. He also said-and this was HUGE for me is that you can't wait until you FEEL like doing something because you rarely will feel like doing that thing you are putting off. You just need to shutup, suck it up and take action because if you don't-nothing in your life will ever change. He's so right! There is no procrastination, there is only an unwillingness to do whatever that task is. If you are being real- roadblocks are basically our unwillingness to do that thing. On the flip side-living a life we don't want is in reality a product of what we are willing to tolerate.
Think about it-or don't think. WHAT you ask?? Another point-we get caught up in the BS of brains all day long. Our brains chatter like a crazy toddler monkey, spouting instructions and demanding that we do what it says-for no reason other than that's what we unknowingly taught it from the day we were born until today. Our brain lies to us constantly in the form of thoughts. If we continue on this journey on autopilot, we are at the mercy of our benign thoughts. When we step back and observe them for what they are, it is then we can make our own decisions. I could go on and on about this book. Should you read it? ABSOLUTELY. Keep your mind open and take it in. Get real about your life. Only then will it change. I will add that if you are looking for someone to sympathize with your plight and rub your back, giving you a warm fuzzy-this isn't it. This is a book of hard core reality check. Just go for it you've got nothing whatsoever to lose. There is only up from here. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I have. Thank you Gary Bishop.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2025I have read this book several times. It’s a great easy read
- Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2025This book is opening my mind. I am redirecting my life to be much more proactive. Big deal to get the old messages out and bring in the possibilities of living a happier and better life. Thanks for writing this.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2024The second book of the series really dives in and WAKES YOU UP! I am sure that you enjoyed the first book of the series so READ this one next!!!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2020Good book but gets a bit repetitive with the author’s other books. It was good and inspiring but was tougher to read the further along I went.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2025Gave one of these books to my 19 year old grandson, who was having a hard time assimilating in college. He told me he actually read it and it made him think/consider how he was thinking. Made a huge difference in how he started looking at situations/things. He even asked for the second book, which I happily sent to him. I can’t tell you how many times he’s told me what a difference the book made in his life. He’s now 26 and a school teacher. Books can have such a big impact on one’s life.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2019This is the second book I have read by Gary John Bishop and I have become a big fan. I was wondering if this book would be redundant, boy was I mistaken! I like his honest approach and he is hilarious too. He tells it like it is, but in a compassionate way. No lengthy explanations or theories, he just presents things in a matter of fact way, simple, no bs and in bite sized chunks. He tells you to read but also to take small breaks to digest the information. Don’t be fooled, his message is profound. Deeply profound. He makes you think and acknowledge, laugh out loud, without shame or guilt. He had me laughing so much in certain chapters, that other passengers on a long plane ride, were looking at my phone to see what I was listening to. Which by the way, I highly recommend getting the audio of the book! I love audible books and his two books are read by the author himself. In a charming Scottish accent! You can easily finish it up in a weekend. It shifted my thoughts and made me be more present during such an important milestone, watching a friend get married later in life. So if your looking for a great read, that’s digestible, entertaining and real, even over a wedding weekend getaway(like I did), pick up a copy!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2024This author hits on simple topics that you'd think we should already know but when he explains the thoughts, you just think "wow, how did I not see this?" It truly was life transforming for me. My attitude, thoughts process' and overall look at my life has changed forever.I went on to buy the set of 4 other books he's written. Amazing, to the point and writes in a down to earth, real life way.

5.0 out of 5 stars I enjoyed this book so much, I bought another one for my son
Very no-nonsense writing and a simple common sense approach to self-sabotage is what the author Gary Bishop proposes in this great little book. It is an easy read without a lot of psychobabble. Enjoyed it so much that I bought one for my son.

5.0 out of 5 stars Do the work!
I've been following the Facebook group for a while and listening to videos and having seen other members posts about the book decided to buy it. I haven't been disappointed. It gets straight to the point and that is what we all need people to be very blunt with us so that we can give honest answers. We need to be challenged and face up to what we are doing otherwise we are going to keep doing the same thing and think we'll get different results. It's up to you and this book is a great motivator to STOP DOING THAT S**T NOW and get your life back on track! BUY IT but DO THE WORK!

5.0 out of 5 stars Per chi ha il coraggio di farsi domande, ma soprattutto ascoltare le risposte.
Chiaro, esplicito e conciso. Se si ha veramente voglia di fare il lavoro che spiega è illuminante, ma non è una bacchetta magica: bisogna metterci impegno, ma, almeno per me, ne è valsa la pena.
