This book takes that hippie dippie nonsense and puts it plainly thought without action does jack shit for your life. This chapter plays against the running theme in most self help books these days where you are told to put out positive energy and you will be rewarded with positivity, make that dream board and the universe will provide you with your dreams. The chapter that most resonated with me was, I am not my thoughts: I am what I do. It is all stuff we as human's are aware of at the bottom of our excuse ridden hearts, but sometimes you need that little reminder that it's time to make some actual change. No one is going to help you get that better job, lose the weight, get your soul mate that is always in the end going to come down to you. Like most self help books Gary John Bishop isn't reinventing the wheel but to me most self help books aren't informing you of anything you didn't already know, they are simply reminding you with gusto and enthusiasm that you are responsible for your own life. The book is broken into seven personal assertions that are labelled and then thoroughly broken down and explained in repetitive detail. Gary John Bishop embraces his Scottish decent in his no nonsense, get your shit together diatribe in the astutely titled self help book UnF*ck Yourself.

In anticipation of this summer’s production of "King John" at Shakespeare on the Sound, John Love and Nick Urda will lead us with commentary and discussion of this intriguing, but lesser known play by The Bard. “King John" (who you may have heard of from the Robin Hood tales!), one of Shakespeare's most brilliant plays that you never knew he wrote, will transport audiences back to England in the early 1200s, where England and France battle with words and swords for dominance in Medieval Europe.
