Overview

The No Complaining Rule

by Jon Gordon

A Story About Positive Ways to Turn Complaints into Solutions, Innovations, and Success

Every complaint represents an opportunity to turnsomething negative into a positive!

"Excuses always come from the losing locker room. In Jon Gordon's book The No Complaining Rule, he provides the winning edge." —Coach Lou Holtz

"In a world in which so many, it seems, focus on the glass as half empty, Jon Gordon sets out a clear blueprint in The No Complaining Rule to help each of us better ourselves. His approach will cut negativity and can impact our workplaces and our families, and help us carve out more productive, lower-stress environments."—Nathan Whitaker coauthor (with Tony Dungy) of Quiet Strength

"Complaining is one of the biggest problems in business today. It undermines the effectiveness of a team and organization, leading to contempt and an inability to adapt and change. In The No Complaining Rule, Jon Gordon offers the antidote."—Ken Fisher, CEO of Fisher Investments, Forbes columnist, author of The Only Three Questions That Count

    I Also Recommend:

    STOP Complaining!

    Mr. Gordon nails it! We ALL live in a world that confronts us with negativity. If we want to make a difference, we need to stop mindlessly complaining and work on positive solutions. I plan on putting some of this into action at work and at home. I could NOT put it down.

    Good Read

    Easy read. Short, sweet and to the point. Integrated a little story with the rule about actual events of a company this happened to. The book has opened my eyes to the obsessive complaining I do and most of us do without even realizing it. Implemented these ideas with co workers. Already seeing changes. Recommend this book.

    Great Complain Fixer!

    In Jon Gordons follow up to "The Energy Bus", he follows the story of Hope. Who undergoes a major change in her life thanks to a security guard and our best friend Joy's sister. This is a great bok and I reccomend it to any one who feels like their life is out of control and someone who lacks reason to smile.

    Good read

    Short, quick and to the point. Dead on and gives good examples of how to deal with complaining in the workplace. Face it, we can all relate. This should be required reading for anyone seeking motivation. Not quite as good as The Energy Bus, but good nonetheless.
