Shut Up and Move On
Paul McGee is a motivational speaker, best known to many as the SUMO Guy and a speaker on change, resilience, leadership and wellbeing. This year marks the 20th Anniversary of his book “Shut Up and Move On” and to mark this milestone we have made it our book of the month for November.
ABOUT THE BOOK

McGee combines hard-won personal insights, ancient wisdom, modern science, hilarious anecdotes, practical tips, and hands-on frameworks to offer a life-changing read. New to this edition is an exploration of how real people have profoundly improved their lives with the book’s timeless principles and strategies, providing a testament to the enduring power of the SUMO principles.
You’ll find:
- Exciting and inspirational advice for taking control of your own life
- Ways to change your thinking, mindset, and approach to life’s inevitable obstacles
- Ideas to improve your understanding and awareness of the way that other people see the world
Perfect for people wanting a straight-talking approach to success, as well as those who are already fans of the SUMO way of thinking, this new 20th Anniversary Edition is a must-have resource for everyone who’s ready to ditch the “whatever will be, will be” fatalism in favor of a practical guide to being the best you can be and achieving what you’ve always dreamed about.
SUMO is a brilliant book, packed with simple, inspirational and innovative ideas that can be applied to any aspect of your life. Paul’s knowledge, enthusiasm and ability to clearly explain these methods is unsurpassed. I heartily recommend this excellent read.’Professor Damian Hughes, Author and Co-Host of The High Performance Podcast
