Every complaint represents an opportunity to turn something
negative into a positive!

"Excuses always come from the losing locker room. In Jon
Gordon's book The No Complaining Rule, he provides the
winning edge."-Coach Lou Holtz

"In a world in which so many, it seems, focus on the glass as
half empty, Jon Gordon sets out a clear blueprint in The No
Complaining Rule to help each of us better ourselves. His
approach will cut negativity and can impact our workplaces and our
families, and help us carve out more productive, lower-stress
environments."-Nathan Whitaker coauthor of Quiet
Strength(with Tony Dungy)

"Complaining is one of the biggest problems in business today.
It undermines the effectiveness of a team and organization, leading
to contempt and an inability to adapt and change. In The No
Complaining Rule, Jon Gordon offers the antidote."-Ken Fisher,
CEO of Fisher Investments, Forbes columnist, author of The Only
Three Questions That Count
