Publisher Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
Greg Gutfeld wants to be your new guru, and he hates himself for it.
Before Greg Gutfeld was a Fox News star and a New York Times bestselling author, he was a self-help writer for health magazines who had no idea what he was talking about. But now, after years of experience, he finally feels qualified to guide people on the journey of life—call this book punishment for his sins, and a huge reward for you!
In The Plus, Greg teaches you how to brainwash yourself into better behavior, retaining the pluses in your life and eliminating the minuses. His approach to self-help is simple, and perfect for cynics; it’s not about positive thinking in the short term, it’s about positive being in the long term. With tough love and more than a little political incorrectness, he delivers sage wisdom such as:
-If you aren’t getting happier as you’re getting older, you’re doing it wrong.
-Resist the media’s command to expand destructive narratives.
-If you’re in the same place you were three years ago, wake up.
-Don’t tweet when drinking.
Modern life grows emptier and emptier as society becomes increasingly polarized, and even those who don’t subscribe to New Age beliefs are seeking comfort and meaning. In The Plus, Greg shows how skeptics too can advance themselves for the betterment of their lives and the healing of their communities.
Customer Reviews
Another great book by Gutfeld!
This book really makes you think deeply about things and how you can change a minus in to a plus!
I enjoyed the read and it helps give me perspective on how to be more positive in a negative situation!
The environment we find ourselves living in definitely needs more people giving us a reason to be positive!
To Say This Book is just a 'Plus' is an Understatement.
Greg Gutfeld is an anomaly. He is in original. He is a gifted writer and humorist. This book is brilliant, timely and necessary. His self deprecating wisdom, knows no bounds. He says things and does things his way. His way. Not popular mainstream way. He says and does everything unapologetically, which today is virtuous. In a society that polices humor and everything else ( except actual crime it seems) The Plus takes a simple look at every action one can take and breaks it down into two very basic outcomes .... plus or minus. Simple, brilliant and timely. Gutfeld fans know of his writing, his TV shows, his brand I suppose. I hope others will get out of their comfort zone and give the 5 star book, a gander. He gets it. We should all 'get it .'
Maybe this book will help many to achieve this. I know for me, it has.
Thank you Greg Gutfeld for this book. You have no idea, your Mark you have left upon me.
