Are you tired of running into the same problems over and over again? People tend to find themselves in the same predicaments over and over, making the same excuses about why they’re not seeing positive changes in their lives. Gary John Bishop gives you the tools and advice you need to break this cycle and become a truly better version of yourself.

"Wake up to the miracle you are, " he directs. "Here's what you've forgotten: You're a fu*king miracle of being."

It isn't other people who are standing in your way, it isn't even your circumstances that are blocking your ability to thrive, it's yourself. And only you have the ability to overcome these obstacles.

Gary’s tough-love approach is, BS-free, honest, no-nonsense, and will help you move past self-imposed limitations.

In this class, you will learn why:

  • You do what you do and why it doesn’t work
  • You constantly feel like you are stuck in a cycle
  • The same issues keep coming up and why you keep using the same excuses
  • You can’t stop yourself from ruining your life
  • You always sabotage yourself

Students in this class are challenged to level-up their lives with measurable and tangible actions.

By the end of this workshop, students will feel in more control of their conclusions, they’ll identify them and be able to adjust accordingly. It’s time to open up the ideas that you only dream about and start talking about making them reality.

With Gary’s strategic guidance, you’ll sort out the things that keep you from advancing in life and blaze a new trail to happiness and fulfillment.

    Very impactful course that I look forward to start applying in my daily life. Gary is so great at articulating these very deep areas of the human experience in such an understandable and relatable way. I'm truly grateful for having found him and his teachings, and highly recommend this course to everyone!

  • Liliana H. Feb 8, 2021

    I knew I was kind of fu*ked up in the head. Taking this course was a sigh of relief. Wow! You mean I wasn't alone in my fu*kedupness? And, for the first time the reality of being unfu*ked was an attainable goal. I love Gary John Bishop's way of teaching. No pussy footing around. He calls it like it is. He steps on toes. But it is done constructivel, with humor, and an awakening of one's true self. I started the course late night and watched it to the very end. I went to bed with a renewed outlook on life and woke up with a new self-awareness. For the first time in a long time I wake up and step into the day with purpose. It's time to live my life by design; not by default. I highly recommend this class. Thank you Gary John Bishop!

    Great course, full of insights into why we act and see life as we do. However, while we all want to change and become a better version of ourselves, we still have unconscious programs running in our minds. Those programs will have to be removed, otherwise, change will become a gigantic task. How do they get removed? Through hypnotherapy or NLP. Gary has got the ball rolling for change, but it can only be through engaging with the sub-conscious mind directly that will it increase it chances of success.

  • Grace K. Jan 10, 2021

    This is a really motivating course to learn how to get your "default self" out of the way so we can live freely to accomplish our plans and dreams.

  • Omar I. Oct 6, 2020

    I have been working and studying personal and professional development for over 26yrs and never come across such a potent and well-articulated perspective on why we humans beings do what we do. Excellent content Thank you Gary.

  • O. Sep 5, 2020

    It took me a coupla goes in the early part to catch on to his fundamental message: you are who you are because you have become that person as life went along, and voila! you are you, this is you. You made, consciously or unconsciously, though the circumstances of your life and your growing up, choices and habits that led you to 'be' who you are. Now. But you also have the choice to make yourself another person, to change the parts of you that aren't working, and it's up to you to do that. And "here's how you can do that..." is what this short course taught me.

  • Lori M. Aug 2, 2020

    If you've been beating yourself up and your trying to figure out how you got into the place you are. This may be for you. I watched the whole series from beginning to end in one sitting and it was well worth it. For me understanding a little of how one get to a point can help unravel how to get past that place your in.

  • Glenys M. Jun 15, 2020

    I love that Gary is straight to the point and didn't delve into who screwed us up before we reached mid-20's - each of us has a distinct personality and challenges to deal with in our present life. The shortest course on behaviour change but I got so much out of each short segment, read the transcript as well and spent time in self-analysis. Life is one long lesson and often difficult to work through. Staying stuck in a rut is far more difficult. Thanks Gary, excellent class. And thanks to Creative Live for all the amazing classes that expand my gray matter!

  • Andrew V. May 10, 2020

    Loved this course. Looking at getting into coaching and looking for different techniques and challenges to learn and work with. This course gave has got me looking at opinions, thoughts and more very differently. Will be reviewing again and will be doing Gary's other courses.

  • M. Jan 17, 2020

    I have read both Unf*ck Yourself and Stop Doing That Sh*t from Gary John Bishop and I definitely enjoyed this video course. I really like his straight forward, no BS approach on giving insights and seeing your life and yourself from a different perspective. 10/10, I highly recommend reading his books which are much more detailed and very well written.

  • Matt T. Jan 15, 2020

    Wish I had this video when I was younger, but better than never.

  • Sandra S. Nov 11, 2019

    love your book!

  • W. Sep 25, 2019

    Very well thought out and inspiring!

  • Diane J. Jul 18, 2019

    I loved this talk! Much to ponder about our conclusions driving our lives. Our choices. How we can end up on autopilot. And how we start out with so much possibility and by bringing in awareness to our patterns we can begin to open up to operating from possibility instead narrow minded repetition. The multi universe perspective! Love that! I would love a longer more in depth class with Gary. Would be great! Thank you!

  • cheryl S. Apr 15, 2019

    I loved this course, in some ways an overview yet in others a real eye opener. I found it quite motivating, and recommend it for anyone looking for a kick up the backside to get started.

  • Jill S. Jan 8, 2019

    I really liked this course, brief, but nonetheless inspiring. I found it to be though provoking but not enough material to help someone who is new to self help

  • said B. Dec 23, 2018

    I got This.Thank you

  • Jen G. Aug 1, 2018

    My favorite quote came in lesson 9 - "That in every single moment of every day, there exists the potential for you to be someone that you've never been before, and that your access, your doorway to that, is to finally see who you've become as a default kind of you." I think anyone looking to make meaningful perspective change will take something away from this course. It's not a pep talk telling you can go out and be whatever you want. He's asking us to look at ourselves and see our patterns and how that relates to the life we're living. I'm just finishing reading " A New Earth" by Eckhart Tolle and this course reminded me of some of the discussion there about the self and who we 'think we are.' Just being able to realize that and pivot seems to be the key to a lot of different things and sometimes it takes hearing about it from different people and in different stories. I was surprised that it is a shorter course but also glad because that makes it much easier to re-watch. Also there is no shouting in this course thankfully.

    I love Gary John Bishop's teaching style. His lessons and wisdom are real and actionable. I recommend all of his material, as he has helped me in my self-development journey quite a bit!

  • Merrily B. Dec 19, 2017

    Gary, thank you for sharing your insights and building our understanding by "connecting the dots" of life and living as human beings. Your message and words are powerful and thought-provoking. More importantly, life-changing for those who wish to get out of their box, over their barriers, and live an authentic and genuinely free life beyond the velvet rope. These lessons were paced well and I appreciated the flow of connected thoughts and reasoning. Your message and points are both simple and complex at the same time. They create knowledge and understanding but are only useful if applied and put into action. Just like most of philosophy! You did a great job of identifying steps needed for personal change without reducing the need for individual action. Your bonus message of keeping one's promises to oneself sealed the deal. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

  • Tassos K. Dec 19, 2017

    GJB is an inspiring philosopher of everyday life. His approach to "attack" everyday problems with a "timeless", yet simple, perspective, will help you in your road to self-actualization. Short and spot-on this class is warmly recommended.

  • Sharon L. Dec 5, 2017

    If you feel stuck in any area of your life, and it could be ANYTHING, then this is the class for you. The conversation with Gary, the work he gives you to really take on, opened up blind spots I had that I didn't know I had and it made THE difference in my life and this class WORKS! The one thing you must know before you choose this course, you actually have to do the work. If you want results in your life, really want them, then that's a no brainer.
