Publisher Description
21 days is the amount of time it takes to make a repeated action into a habit.
In 21 days, you can change your life completely.
You need two things: a purple bracelet, and this book.
You wouldn't believe how much we complain about things - every day we bitch, vent, moan, shout and generally focus on the negative. But wouldn't it be amazing if we could focus on the positive, happy things in life instead? Will Bowen explains the simple, innovative philosophy of staying 'complaint-free' and demonstrates how, with time and determination, you can achieve a positive attitude that will improve your life permanently.

Brown is a minister with a very simple message: quit complaining. If you do, you'll be happier and healthier. Hence his Complaint-Free World challenge; the goal is to stop for 21 consecutive days. Why 21? That's how long it takes to break a habit, according to Bowen, who has appeared on Oprah and The Today Show discussing his challenge. And while there's no scientific proof his program works, he includes testimonials from people who've stopped their chronic carping and now lead more positive lives. As for issues that might make you complain about not complaining e.g., how do you enact social change without first finding fault with the present situation? Bowen points to Martin Luther King Jr. and his I-have-a-dream speech. He "did not stand on the steps of the Lincoln memorial and say, "Isn't it terrible how we're being treated...." Not to be critical ("Criticism is complaining with a sharp edge") but how could Bowen forget King's great rousing line that day: "America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked 'insufficient funds.' "
