Book Description

About ten years ago, documentary film maker and author Cianna P. Stewart reached a breaking point when she realized that she was complaining all the time. Over the decade that followed she moved from being a powerless passive complainer to actively taking control over her life and getting more out of all aspects of it along the way. For several years, she's been running workshops in "Going NoCo" where she helps people learn the skills needed to successfully change their own pattern of complaining. Nearly every self-development and spiritually-enlightened person says the first step to improving your life and experiencing happiness is to stop complaining and to start taking personal responsibility, but they stop short at the part about how to do it.
