Overview
Stop Doing That Sh*t by Gary John Bishop is a blunt, energising follow-up to his New York Times bestseller Unfu*k Yourself. This paperback edition tackles the destructive, repeating patterns that quietly sabotage careers, relationships and finances. Rather than dwelling on theory, Bishop delivers a direct, practical roadmap to identify these cycles and break them for good. It's an ideal pick for readers who want honest, no-nonsense personal development guidance that produces real, lasting change rather than empty motivation.

About the Book
In Stop Doing That Sh*t, Gary John Bishop moves from the mindset shifts of Unfu*k Yourself into concrete action, showing readers exactly how to interrupt the self-sabotaging loops that keep them stuck. Whether it's repeatedly choosing the wrong partner, failing to save money, or undermining career opportunities just as they arrive, Bishop argues these patterns are rarely accidental — they're wired into how we think and react. Drawing on his signature "urban philosophy" style, he breaks down the common archetypes of self-sabotage, explains the psychological wiring behind them, and then hands readers straightforward tools and exercises to disrupt the cycle. The tone is sharp, funny and refreshingly free of therapy-speak, making complex behavioural ideas easy to grasp and, more importantly, easy to act on. This paperback edition is compact and portable, ideal for reading on a commute, during a coaching session, or as part of a structured self-improvement routine. Published by Thorsons in 2019, it has resonated with readers worldwide who responded to the tough-love clarity of Bishop's earlier work and wanted a practical next step. It's a book best read with a pen in hand, ready to underline the moments of uncomfortable recognition that Bishop is famous for provoking.
