      With all the bravado afforded him by his self-proclaimed vast experience, Larry Winget has a message for people everywhere: if you're not executing your job to the fullest extent, you're stealing or taking up space. Winget's description on what's wrong with America's workforce and how to fix it sounds more like a personal rant of "things that piss me off" and other annoyances than an analysis of productivity. He reads with enthusiasm and energy, adding the occasional chuckle into his performance. His drawl provides enough personality that listeners will certainly enjoying his speaking, even if they don't particularly relate to what he has to say. L.E. (c) AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine

      With a writing style best described as full-throttle rant, the host of the A&E reality show Big Spender
      reveals the naked truth about careers, the employer/employee relationship, management skills, productivity and pay. Declaring at the outset that "there will be parts of this book you won't like," while daring readers to continue, Winget (Shut Up, Stop Whining & Get a Life
      ) sets a high threshold for delivering a likable, useful book that will educate and promote behavioral changes. Yet he delivers. His brutal frankness about what's wrong with how businesses—big and small—operate offers a refreshing contrast to other career counseling and management books—even the gray area of ethics is delivered in black and white. In a section titled "What Happened to You?" he reminds readers of what it means to accept a job: "No work—no pay. No work—no job." Companies, as he repeatedly stresses, exist to make a profit, not to make their employees happy or feel fulfilled. Winget's advice is solid: delivering results is the most fulfilling career move one can make.
