The general take
John Taffer views "Don't BS Yourself" as a book that cuts to the heart of excuses—he defines them simply as what people tell themselves after doing something they shouldn't have done. He's proud of it as his bestseller and seems to genuinely believe in the core premise that identifying and eliminating excuses is valuable.

…discussing book about identifying excuses as the root cause of failure
“So I go back to my room. I wrote my second book, my bestseller, Don't BS Yourself, Cut the Excuses That Are Holding You Back. And I realized, think about this. What is the definition of an excuse? I did something I shouldn't have. I got an excuse.”
