In this course, Will presents a powerful practice to transform your life. Big words? Yes, but this is a plan that has already proven itself with millions of people around the world. Will Bowen developed the life-changing A Complaint Free World plan based on the simple idea that good things will happen for you in abundance if you can just leave your grumbling behind. He passed out purple bracelets and issued a challenge. "If you catch yourself complaining, take the bracelet and move it to the other wrist."
Less than a year later, more than six million people had taken up the challenge, trying to go twenty-one consecutive days without complaining, criticizing, or gossiping, and in so doing, forming a new, positive habit. By changing your words, you can change your thoughts and then begin to create your life by design. People have shared stories with Will of chronic pain relieved, relationships healed, careers improved, and becoming an overall happier person. Less pain, improved health, satisfying relationships, a better job, being more serene and joyous—sound good? It’s not only possible, it’s probable. Consciously striving to reformat your mental hard drive is not easy, but you can start now by using the steps Bowen presents here.
You will learn what constitutes a complaint, why we complain, what benefits we think we receive from complaining, how complaining is destructive to our lives, and how we can get others around us to stop complaining. You will learn the steps to eradicating this poisonous form of expression from your life. If you stay with it, you will find that not only will you not complain, but others around you will cease to do so as well. In a short period of time, you can have the life you’ve always dreamed of having.

Praise for Will Bowen
“This was the best Learning Conference yet! Will Bowen is now one of my favorite speakers that we have had since I have been with Horizon.”
— Mary McColl, Horizon Bank
“Feedback was extremely positive. On a 6 point scale they rated you a 5.6 with 75% giving you a "6." Great job!”
— Phil Cabot, Volvo Motor Corporation
“I heard very positive things about you and your presentation and so many people approached me to commend us for bring- ing you to the conference - if nothing else my friend, you were great PR for me! Congratulations Will - and from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much! Your commitment and passion obviously resonates in your work.”
— Shreyshree Raja, Human Resources Professionals of Canada
“Like most of the other folks who took up the Complaint Free Challenge, I quickly discovered exactly how many of the words I spoke in daily interactions were complaints. For the first time, I really heard myself when I vented about work, whined about my aches and pains, bemoaned political and world issues, and complained about the weather. What a shock to realize how many of my words held negative energy – and I considered myself such a positive person!”
— Marty Pointer, Kansas City, MO
“The best change occurred for me at home. One night my wife and I were kissing in the kitchen, and she asked me, “Have you noticed we have been kissing more than usual?”
We discovered that I used to come home and complain about work, which would put us both in a bad mood. This was not conducive to a loving relationship. My new approach of coming home and not complaining found us in a good mood and enjoying being together.”
— Shawn O’Connell, Albuquerque, NM
“Like thousands, I have already begun changing my focus. The remarkable thing about this is how much happier I feel! Not to mention how much happier those around me must be (like my husband!). I have wanted to work on my complaining for a long time and the campaign has been the impetus for my changing behavior.”
—Jeanne Reilly, Rockville, Maryland
