You know you could get through your to-do list in half the time - yet you're still stalking your ex on Facebook. You know you need a kick up the backside - and that's what you'll find within the pages of this book. If you're sick of being mollycoddled by self-help that deals in platitudes and endless steps for a new you, join How to Get a Grip in its campaign to help you get your life back on track by telling you what you already know. Implement How to Get a Grip's idiot-proof instructions to morph, overnight from being a friendless, wimpy and subservient doormat, perpetually vexed by the iniquities and raw deals that life throws at you, to being a total superhero. And what's more - you'll have fun while you do it. No-nonsense lessons in life in a language that you will appreciate straight from the successful blog www.howtogetagrip. com
