Beginning with the source of his own struggle, a rare and painful disease that causes his bones to weaken and break under minimal pressure, Stephenson offers a structured approach to a wide array of topics, including dating, weight loss, lack of motivation, friendship, finances, and goals. While his advice is encouraging and insightful, Stephenson’s text is also notable for examples, mottos and resonant personal stories of enormous obstacles and accomplishments (his work with the Clinton administration, attaining his Ph.D., opening his own private practice). Though his unwavering optimism can be daunting (bringing one’s day-to-day gripes into sharp relief), Stephenson is empowering and uplifting throughout, and should prove helpful whether facing a lifelong challenge or a more immediate battle. \u003ci\u003e(May)\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003ePublishersWeekly.com\u003c\/i\u003e, May 18, 2009)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments vii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eForeword by Anthony Robbins ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBorn to Kick BUT: The Short Story of a Big Life 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLesson 1 Start Connecting 34\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHow Rene Got Off His BUT 64\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLesson 2 Watch What You Say to Yourself! 70\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHow Bobby Got Off His BUT 97\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLesson 3 Master Your Physical Confidence 103\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHow Andréa Got Off Her BUT 132\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLesson 4 Focus Your Focus 138\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHow Mike Got Off His BUT 159\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLesson 5 Choose Your Friends Wisely 164\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHow Peter Got Off His BUT 188\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLesson 6 Take Full Responsibility 193\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOne Last Thing . . . 220\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eResources 221\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Author 225\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Wiley \u0026 Sons Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49402324779351,"sku":"9780470399934","price":14.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780470399934.jpg?v=1730480070","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/get-off-your-but-9780470399934","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
