S.U.M.O.: Shut Up, Move On: The Straight-Talking Guide to Creating and Enjoying a Brilliant Life

Product Information

Just like Hippos wallow in the mud sometimes, humans also need to allow ourselves some time to wallow when we feel mad, bad or sad. Time to sit with our sadness, to process and digest. Hippos don’t just go into the mud to wallow, they also go there to get out of the heat, to cool off and to play. SUMO has been used extensively around the world. It equips people with insights, inspiration, and practical tools to achieve better results in life while having more fun in the process.

Hippo Time provides a useful ‘mini break’ from life and relief from day-to-day pressures. Time to get life in perspective.

Known as ‘The SUMO Guy’ after his international bestselling book SUMO, Shut Up Move On.
