A fair question that I have been asked is, “what makes this new version different?” While I still believe in the Shut Up Philosophy, I have had 20 more years to live and breathe it and, in the process, fine-tune it. The world has changed, and so in response, the lessons need to continue to be more relevant and revealing. The fact, that I wrote this book during the pandemic proves that if you want to make the Universe laugh, make a plan.

The core concepts remain, no one likes to be stifled, silenced, or feel as if they are merely a participant rather than the leading player in their life. No one likes to hear

• “Shut Up, that’s a stupid idea…”

• “Shut Up, your opinions don’t matter…”

• “Shut Up, you are not important…”

And the one that still gets me all fired up every time I hear it:

• “Shut Up, you have no idea what you are talking about!”

Are you ready to take your life next level?
