I Love Larry Winget! This guy is direct, in your face, upfront and truthful about why people just don’t get it.

There’s noting complicated about his teaching, he just speaks the simple truth and believe it or not, most people don’t like hearing it. Meaning: Larry is a very entertaining speaker but he really make you take a hard look at yourself rather than just using the positive thinking method that most motivational speakers teach.

If you really want to become a better person, a richer person, a smarter person or whatever type of person you want to become, then do it! Think about it. Nobody is going to do it other than yourself. So, if you want change, you have to change. PERIOD!

There aren’t too many “motivational” authors out there who will tell their readers to shut up and stop whining. But Larry Winget does not call himself a motivational speaker. In fact, he’s trademarked himself as “The World’s Only Irritational Speaker.”

His books are most certainly not intended to make you “feel good about yourself.” But then again, that’s the whole idea.

That’s the type of teachings Larry talks about. Take a look at one of his post I used from his blog below.

It’s Easier To Be Stupid

That’s right. It’s easier to be stupid than it is be smart.

Here are a few statistics that I read awhile back in one of Larry’s book. They still blow my mind today!

1. 80% of American’s didn’t buy a book last year.
2. 43% of American’s read below a 7th grade level.
3. 70% of American adults have not been in a bookstore in the last 5 years.
4. 58% of American adults never read a book after high school.
5. 42% of University Graduates NEVER read another book. WOW!

Another study reports only 14% of society would go in a bookstore or a library and actually walk out with a book. And only 10% of those would read past the first chapter.

In America approximately only 5% of people that retire couldn’t do this without some type of financial assistance e.g.; social security, pensions and etc…

People need to wake up and take responsibility for creating their own financial freedom. Working on their own self development is their key to freedom!

The question is, will they take the necessary steps to achieve it?

It is easier to listen to the political pundits and television news anchors and trust their words completely than it is to study, read, and search to discover the truth about a political issue or to actually read one of the bills or proposals you are so vehemently for or against.

It is easier to believe Rush or O’Reilly or Hannity or Olberman or Rachel or Beck or even Larry Winget than it is to actually do a little fact checking of your very own. It’s work to find the truth out about any issue, so it’s easier to just accept what you hear as fact.

It is easier to listen to the preachers and believe every word they say from their pulpit than it is to read the book yourself, or maybe lots of books and search for your own insight and develop your beliefs based on your own experiences.

It’s easier to just toe the party line because you are registered Democrat or Republican than it is to ask whether the party line makes sense or not.
