A Tribute to Perseverance: Marti Lawrence and “7 Ways You Screw Up Your Life (and how to unscrew it)”

Marti Lawrence is one of those people who make you smile every time you hear from her. Her online demeanor is nothing but sunshine.

And I find that absolutely inspiring, for reasons that go well beneath the surface.

Marti, you see, has not had an easy life. She has gone through a lot of hardship and pain, setbacks and losses. While that in and of itself is not entirely unusual, how she’s handled all of that, and lived to tell about it with a sparkle in her eye, is the real inspiring story.

So it wasn’t a hard decision when Marti asked me to make a contribution to her latest book, “7 Ways You Screw Up Your Life (and how to unscrew it)”. This book is a marvelous distillation of all of the coping mechanisms and positive perspectives that she has put to such good use in her own life.

What’s more, this advice is handed out with great humor and panache, which adds a lot of sugar to help the medicine go down.

Marti has broken it all down to what she calls “7 Deadly Screw Ups” – and came up with a very appropriate acronym to sum them up:

FUGGDUP

(See, I told you she has a great sense of humor!)

I ask you to buy this book to find out exactly what’s behind the acronym, as well as the ways you can “unscrew” up once you are “fuggdup” (gosh, I could have fun with this all day long).

And yes, I have contributed a short little chapter to the book, entitled “The Roller Coaster Theory“.

To make it even more of a slam dunk for you to buy this book on Amazon, I’m pleased to offer a 20% discount off the cover price of $12.95. Just use this discount code when you check out:

Don’t be fuggdup. Buy this book. And smile, knowing that you’re getting some incredible advice from someone who knows a little something about perseverance. Bless you Marti, and may you continue to spread your joy and wisdom to this world.
