 Postive Approach to a Negative September 4, 2008
I was a bit struck by the title which is allegedly a positive book but speaking about complaining and negativity seemed a little strange.
This book is told in storybook fashion and generally speaking, I prefer books to get to the point than using storybook style; however, I do know there are a number of people who do like storybooks.
I totally agree with the thesis of the book which is you will have more fun and you will do better, the company will do better if you don't complain and look at things positively.
The book has numerous good ideas on how to reduce complaining and the one thing that I liked was a no complaining week personal action plan which includes:
Day one - monitor your thoughts and words
Day two - make a gratitude list
Day three - take a thank you walk
Day four - focus on good staff
Day five - start a success journal
Day six - let go
Day seven - breathe
Although the book is fairly shallow, I would still recommend it and think it has some good ideas.

Multi-facet tool August 16, 2008
Simple but great principles that can be used in everyday life, organizations, teams, families and especially at work. Don't settle for negative environments when you can help change your attitude as well as others and experience the power of a positive environment. Inspirational.
From J. Kaye's Book Blog August 14, 2008
"The No Complaining Rule", by Jon Gordon, is about positive ways to deal with negativity. Jon writes, "In fact I use to be a professional complainer. I blamed everyone else for all my problems...My complaining and negativity got so bad that my wife gave me an ultimatum. Change or I was off the bus. I was dejected, rejected, and about to be ejected!" He further tells us he came from a long line of complainers, he is Jewish-Italian.
The book is about ending mindless, chronic complaining and to turn justified complaints into positive solutions. Jon illustrates with a story of a V. P. of Human Resources at EZ Tech. Hope had a bad divorce a year ago and was struggling with 2 children and possible breast cancer. She was in bad mental shape. Then EZ Tech had a huge problem with their computer batteries catching on fire and the company's stock just plummeted to its lowest.
The story in this fast paced book has plenty of action and little statistics. What I really enjoyed about the No Complaining Rule is how it was applied in a business, family, school, and hospital setting. While the techniques are not new, his approach is simple, easy to understand, and easy to communicate. I'm going to start a "No Complaining Rule" in my cubicle at work.
