The “Oh Shit” Factor
Waste Management for Our Minds

Edgy, humorous, informative, and life changing, this book challenges what we know about what we put into our minds and what comes out of our mouths. The word ‘shit’ is used as a metaphor for the toxic thoughts we put into our heads. Dr. Jampolsky states that this can result in constipation of the mind which can cause verbal diarrhea. What we put into our minds can be as important as what we put into our mouths. Cleaning out our minds can be just as important as cleaning our teeth.

The “Oh Shit” Factor is easy to understand with cartoons worth a thousand words. This short but powerful book can transform your life to improve your relationships and increase your happiness quotient if you choose to do so. Included is a case history that helps you understand SIMS SYNDROME (Shit In Mind Syndrome) and gives easy to follow guidelines on how to use forgiveness as a laxative for the constipated mind.

Just as many women as men say “Oh Shit” or variations on the theme, often as an expression of visceral feelings as opposed to profanity. The Glossary of “Oh Shit” terms is a must read along with the guidelines for waste management of the mind and ways of getting rid of the blocks that interfere with our experiencing a great life.
