Product Information

" A Complaint Free World is an engaging, enjoyable, easy-to-read reminder that the only permanent, constructive changes you can make in the world are the changes that you make in yourself." Gary Zukav, author of The Seat of the Soul and Soul to Soul A SIMPLE PLAN... A LIFE-CHANGING RESULT... A HAPPIER LIFE ·What exactly is a complaint? (Chapter 1) ·Why is complaining destructive? (Chapters 2-3) ·How can I get others around me to stop complaining? (Chapter 3) ·How can we affect social change if we don't complain? (Chapter 5) ·Why is it so hard to stop complaining? (Chapters 4-6) ·What happens once I no longer complain? (Chapter 8) You may have pondered these questions yourself. Since the Complaint Free program began, Will Bowen has received hundreds of calls, letters and emails asking these and other important questions. In A Complaint Free World: How to Stop Complaining and Start Enjoying the Life You Always Wanted , he provides practical answers and includes inspiring and touching stories from people just like you who have transformed their lives by becoming Complaint Free. Over 6 million people in more than 80 countries have taken the Complaint Free challenge and their lives are a testament to the positive effects of this simple idea. Find out how forming the simple habit of not complaining can transform your health, relationships, career and life. In your hands, you hold the secret to transforming your life. Big words? Yes, but this is a plan that has already proven itself with millions of people around the world. Pastor Will Bowen developed the life-changing A Complaint Free World plan based on the simple idea that good things will happen for you in abundance if you can just leave your grumbling behind. In a Sunday-morning sermon, Will told his congregation he wanted to make the world a complaint-free zone and, to prove he was serious, he passed out purple bracelets to each church member and offered them a challenge. "If you catch yourself complaining, take the bracelet and move it to the other wrist." Now, less than a year later, more than six million people have taken up the challenge, trying to go twenty-one consecutive days without complaining, criticizing, or gossiping, and in so doing, forming a new, positive habit. By changing your words, you can change your thoughts and then begin to create your life by design. People have shared stories with Will of chronic pain relieved, relationships healed, careers improved, and becoming an overall happier person. Less pain, improved health, satisfying relationships, a better job, being more serene and joyous-sound good? It's not only possible, it's probable. Consciously striving to reformat your mental hard drive is not easy, but you can start now by using the steps Bowen presents here. In this book, you can learn what constitutes a complaint, why we complain, what benefits we think we receive from complaining, how complaining is destructive to our lives, and how we can get others around us to stop complaining. You will learn the steps to eradicating this poisonous form of expression from your life. If you stay with it, you will find that not only will you not complain, but others around you will cease to do so as well. In a short period of time, you can have the life you've always dreamed of having.

Me Complain???
What started off as a joke from my better half, has proved to be a Godsend. It all seemed so silly at first, like a joke book that would make you suddenly be free of all the negatives you think about and complain about in your life, but it can work.....more slowly for me (smile), but baby steps and all that. The book came with a purple bracelet you wear on your wrist, or use a ring or watch if you did not get one.....this will be your touchstone. It is a 21 day plan in which, hopefully, you'll learn what a complaint is, why you complain, and even how we can get others to stop complaining (I still have to see about that one!). Your goal is to go 21 days without complaining or gossiping (yikes!)....all this to form a new, positive habit. IF you do let a complaint slip or can't hold in a juicy piece of gossip, then you have to move the bracelet to your other wrist. If you have to keep moving that darn bracelet all the time it will dawn on you that you DO complain or gossip too much! The satisfying part is that people who have gone through the whole 21 days say they have felt the relief of chronic pain, improved their health and relationships, worked better at their jobs and have more joy in their lives. Sounds good to me. So now on day 3 I have had to move the bracelet once this morning already......I complained about the breakfast dishes in the sink not being cleaned and put away. Oh, well. Somehow I can also see this as a form of a "no nagging" device for your spouse's benefit....hmmmm? I will try and write more on day 21. If I make it through all 21 days my husband promised to wear the bracelet at that time, although he claims he doesn't complain or gossip. I told him it can be used as a "clean up after yourself" bracelet. Why not? Sounds like this could be fun!Read full review

Easy yet valuable read
Such a brilliant and simple concept! There are countless books on positive thought, the Law of Attraction, rejecting negativity, etc. But this book is a breath of fresh air. A nice quick read, very straight forward, and incredible in that the concept of not complaining is applicable from the first page! Just put on your bracelet (or a rubberband if you don't have one) and move it to the other wrist each time you audibly complain or criticize. And there you are, you've started your challenge to go 21 days complaint free!!! This is supposed to lead to a greater sense of happiness, what could be better? The bracelet brings awareness of your verbal habits immediately, which I find valuable, regardless of if you ever meet the challenge. The best part is that the author and the company aren't in it for profit. They give away the bracelets for free and seem genuinely interested in improving the mood and state of the world. I definitely reccomend for anybody and any age.Read full review

This book can really change the way you live.
My husband and I read this book together and we loved it. Will Bowen has written an excellent book that will make you think before you talk and can really make big changes in your life. It's an easy read and the concept is great, but not easy to do. My husband actually threw his purple bracelet on the floor and stomped on it. I have to admit that I need to re-read the book and get back into the practice of not complaining. I did not make the 21 days, but I am thankful that I read this book and saw what complaining can do toour lives.

A Challenge worth trying.
I bought this book after hearing a motivational speaker speak on the subject "Getting off the complain train". I found the book a quick easy read that gives you quit alot to think about. What a change there would be in this world if everyone would adopt this. It is an extremely difficult challenge to learn to go through a whole day without complaining, let alone 21 days. The concept being 21 days develops a habit. As with all good things, it takes effort. Anyone that is able to complete the challenge will have a much happier, healthier and richer life.

I found this book very helpful in being less negative.
I bought this book to try and be a more positive person. My goal is to stop complaining, gossiping and being negative. I wanted to learn how to be more positive about myself and those I came in contact with. I read this book twice and have gotten more insight into myself and how to improve my own mental health. I have purchased the purple wrist bands and am still trying to go 21 days without complaining and being negative. I hope to make it through those 21 days soon. I already am much more careful about what I say to my spouse and others. This has helped with my marriage and other relationships. I sincerely recommend this book to others.
