review:

Steve Rizzo is a successful stand up comedian who decided to try something else in life. He is now a successful corporate speaker, using his humor skills to teach people how to get through tough times. His new book does the same. Filled with lots of humor (much of it groan inducing), Steve shows that just having the ability to laugh at ourselves and our situations can make a huge difference.



The book's premise is to shift our mindset. Whether we find ourselves in a life-altering situation or a long line at the grocery store, how we react to it can make a huge difference to us and to those around us. There are plenty of stories in the book to back up the points being made. Some involve famous people Steve has met, like Rodney Dangerfield and Eddie Murphy. Perhaps the most inspirational person is Steve's brother Michael, who suffered a combat injury in Vietnam.



It's a very positive read and many of the chapters have action steps. It's all very encouraging and if you find yourself stuck in a rut with negative thoughts, you might want to pick up a copy of this book.
