LETTING GO OF YOUR BANANAS How to Become More Successful by Getting Rid of Everything in Your Life

Your bananas, according to the author/management consultant, are the rotten beliefs, rationales, or habits you cling to and feel comforted by, but that hold you back from the success you deserve. Stephen Hoye's narration of this 12-step program, along with the clever title, sounds tongue in cheek. He's dramatic, campy, and shameless about playing up to the self-important aspect of the author's writing. Listening to him makes you wonder whether he and the author conspired to offer this audio as entertainment rather than enlightenment. It's too difficult to take lines like this seriously: ". . . only YOU can determine what the best course of action is for your life. Just be prepared to live the result of those choices." Good grief!
