  Are you tired of pretending to care? Do you want to survive life with the absolute least amount of emotional effort? Congratulations—you’re ready to become Dead Inside, But Functional. 
  Life is exhausting. People expect enthusiasm, deep emotional connections, and basic human engagement. Annoying. But guess what? You don’t actually have to care—you just have to look like you do. 
  This book is not about healing. It’s about perfecting the fine art of detachment while still participating in society just enough to avoid suspicion. 
  Inside, You’ll Learn: 
  ☠️ How to master the dead-eyed customer service smile while thinking about absolutely nothing 
  ☠️ The science of responding to any crisis with “Damn, that sucks” and moving on immediately 
  ☠️ Why “It is what it is” should be your life motto 
  ☠️ How to fake emotional depth by saying, “I just don’t open up easily” 
  ☠️ Strategic bathroom breaks: The only legally acceptable way to escape responsibility 
  ☠️ How to nod convincingly while mentally escaping to Ancient Rome 
  ☠️ The trick to falling asleep in three minutes by accepting your own mortality 
  ☠️ How to function just enough at work so no one notices you’re doing absolutely nothing 
  This is not a motivational book. It won’t inspire you. It won’t fix you. It will simply help you navigate life in the most effortless way possible, while maintaining just enough interaction to avoid being declared legally missing.

  Writing Wrongly - The ongoing...

  "When the whole world's against you, at least it's something to lean on." 
  When the worst writer in history self-publishes his books, the world of literature is decimated overnight. Illiteracy becomes something to aspire to and book burnings become rife. The publishing industry is left hemorrhaging credibility and teeters on the brink of collapse. Its recovery is not a matter of removing said books, or even destroying them: the same must be done to the mind responsible. 
  Thomas may be the worst writer to have ever lived, but if he’s not careful, he won’t be doing much of that, either. 
  This Sortabiography is the story of one writer against the entire publishing industry. There’s lots of swearing and temper tantrums, as well as a brand new psychiatric illness. There’s also an excellent café scene, which, although short, is worth mentioning. 
   “Dreadful. The title says it all. Except about it being dreadful. ” - Carmen Schneider. Acquisitions Editor, PBA. 
  “The publishing industry is in upheaval, it’s true. But this just rubs balsamic vinegar into its wounds and garnishes it with slices of turd.” – Robert Tasher. MD, Banquet Press. 
  “It’s ebooks like this that should have the internet banned.” - Malcolm Shrot-Faith, Literary Agent.

  My Therapist Says This Grief...

  "I am writing this grief journal at the repeated advice of my therapist. I'm writing it to myself, as my own reader. I hate readers. Mostly because I hate myself." 
   
   
   
  You could say Kyle Jr. grew up in a dysfunctional family. That'd be an understatement. His mother's wealthy family disinherited her for marrying the working-class Kyle Sr., and she's never forgiven him (or KJ) for that. 
   
   
   
  When his father's suicide turns his life upside down, KJ fills his therapist-recommended grief journal with plenty of sarcasm, excerpts from sweary, punny high-school short stories, and fourth-wall-breaking asides. Through all the bravado and swagger, a portrait emerges of a young man confronting a dark past with genuine compassion and keen insight. He's determined to reconcile with its legacy—and to survive.

  How to Be a Man (Whatever That...

  There's no wrong way to be a woman. There are countless wrong ways to be a man. 
   
   
   
  James Breakwell should know. He's tried just about all of them. Journalism. Pig ownership. Felony lawn gnome theft. Whatever masculinity is supposed to be, this can't be it. But can you really fail at something no one can quite define? Apparently. 
   
   
   
  Now, in a series of funny, sharply observed, and occasionally poignant essays, everyone's favorite internet-famous father of four daughters lays down a lifetime of lessons in what it means to be a man. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll wonder what really happened to those creepy lawn gnomes on that deserted country road. (Spoiler alert: They're right behind you.) 
   
   
   
  If you ever wanted to know how to fail at altruism, dodge the priesthood, and stumble your way into unexpected wisdom, this book is for you. 
   
   
   
  How to Be a Man (Whatever that Means) presents a vision of manhood that looks very different from what you'll see on TV. And that's a good thing. Probably.
