About this listen
Jon Taffer, the popular host of Spike TV's Bar Rescue, doesn't sugarcoat - he tells it like it is. In Don't Bullsh*t Yourself!, he teaches you how to stop fooling yourself and turn your excuses into solutions, to improve your life and business.
As host of SpikeTV's hugely popular Bar Rescue, Jon Taffer gives struggling bars one last chance to succeed with a mixture of business acumen and tough love. Now, he offers his no-nonsense strategy for kicking excuses to the curb, with a dose of raw and refreshing honesty. He'll help you identify your excuses and take practical steps to fix them.
We all love to make excuses; it's only human. It's so much easier to pin the blame on everyone and everything else than to admit our own shortcomings. But when we make excuses, we are lying to ourselves. Jon Taffer is here to shut it down. He argues that if we can identify the real issue behind the excuse and address it in a straightforward way, we have the power to turn our lives around completely.
Doing what you've always done will get you nowhere. Taffer breaks excuses down into six major categories, offering real-life examples that are sure to instruct and inspire, such as:
- Marcus Luttrell, the lone survivor of a SEAL team mission in Afghanistan, who faced his fears one step at a time to avoid almost certain death in Taliban territory.
- Christine King, founder and CEO of Your Best Fit, who, despite being paralyzed in a horrific Jet Ski accident, was able to build a company that shows people how to transform their lives with fitness.
- Mark Itkin, longtime television agent at William Morris Endeavor, who worked his way up from the mailroom, going against the grain to transform the television industry with the creation of Real World and other reality TV megahits.
- Derrick Coleman, the deaf former Seattle Seahawks fullback, who, despite always being picked last in school, was able to overcome his circumstance to turn his deafness into an asset on and off the field.
You are your own worst enemy - if you own your failure, you can fight it. Jon Taffer in Don't Bullsh*t Yourself! gives you a chance to throw away your excuse crutches so you can get back to winning.

Good book, narrator could have been better
I wanted to hear what Jon Taffer has to say in this book. It’s great advice that can really be applied to any business or endeavor.
When I saw that RC Bray was the narrator, I was hesitant. While he has a pleasant voice, I soured on Mr. Bray after his performance on “The Squared Circle” by David Shoemaker, a book discussing death in professional wrestling. That book itself was barely readable to begin with on its own without RC Bray’s mispronounced names and glaring audio quality changes. For that book, I can only assume that Mr Bray self-directed and folks did a poor job of quality control.
While Taffer’s book had consistent audio, and was obviously directed by someone other than the narrator, I personally know at least 3 professional voice actors who could have done a better job. A better choice would have been if Jon Taffer himself had narrated or PJ King, the narrator of Bar Rescue itself.
I guess it’s true you don’t get a second chance to make a first impression.
