A Complaint Free World

What are the 5 Reasons People Complain?

What's wrong with complaining?

Isn't it healthy to get out frustrations through complaining?

How do I get myself and others to stop complaining?

Find the answers to these questions and more in this engaging, informative and often hilarious speech by Will Bowen, internationally bestselling author and Founder of A Complaint Free World.

Here are a few highlights:

• "People only complain for one of 5 reasons, and the acronym to remember the 5 reasons is G.R.I.P.E.   The "G" stands for "Get attention..."
• "No one every complained their way to health, happiness or success."
• "Complaining is like bad breath, you notice it when it comes out of someone else's mouth, but not when it comes out of your own!"
• "You have never complained anyone, including yourself, into positive change."
• "If it were true that people need to complain to release their stress, then the biggest complainers would also be the happiest people."
• "If you have a chronic complainer in your life, simply begin to ask, 'What's going well with...(whatever s/he was complaining about.)  Just keep asking, 'What's going well?' and they will either begin to speak positively to you or they will ignore you.  Either way, you win."
• "The way you use the words, "of course" are the best indicator of whether you are a positive or a negative person

Never Mind (InVision Radio)

There is a relentless bully pushing you around and it's in your own mind.  It says things like, "You'll NEVER be any good."  "You'll NEVER succeed."  "He/She will NEVER love you." And, things that are even more harsh and critical.

It's time to take control of this critical inner voice and, through systematic training, push it into the background so your confident inner voice can lead your thinking and guide your life.  It's time to say "never mind" to your 'never mind.'

Being Present (Dharma Talk)

Probably the most illusive of all gems is the present moment.  

No matter where we are or what we are doing, our focus tends to waffle between visions of the future to memories of the past.  These mental projections can either be positive (such as anticipation and nostalgia) or negative (such as fear and resentment).  It doesn't matter what form they take so long as they rob us from being connected to the here and the now.  

In this message, Will shares secrets for grounding yourself in the present, which is the only safe haven life offers.  It is the very essence of life.
