    Tired of self-help books promising success, happiness, and inner peace? Good. You're holding the only book brave enough to say what you're really thinking: "Why bother?" 
    Welcome to Ruin Your Life Now—the ultimate anti-self-help book for overthinkers, self-saboteurs, and anyone who’s ever looked in the mirror and muttered, “Yikes.” 
    Written by professional over-apologizer and amateur disaster Dicholas Chad Pansy, this brutally sarcastic guide shows you how to weaponize affirmations not for success—but for spectacular failure. Learn to: 
    Attract toxic relationships with the efficiency of a broken dating app 
    Manifest crushing debt and emotional instability 
    Sabotage your job, body, and soul in record time 
    Cultivate spiritual emptiness and repel divine intervention 
    Alienate everyone who ever loved you (or at least tolerated you) 
    Think of it as your daily dose of self-destruction, disguised as a coping mechanism. 
    Packed with toxic affirmations, unnecessary rants, and advice so bad it circles back to genius, Ruin Your Life Now is like a car crash you can’t stop watching—except the car is your life and you’re the one behind the wheel, blindfolded. 
    This is not a guide to healing. 
    This is a how-to manual for becoming the chaotic, emotionally-unstable dumpster fire you were always meant to be. 
    Don’t fix your life. Ruin it. On purpose.

    Henri Bergson’s Laughter: An Essay on the Meaning of the Comic stands as one of the most influential explorations of humor ever written. First published in the early 20th century, this groundbreaking philosophical essay examines why we laugh, what we find funny, and how the comic reveals deeper truths about human nature and society. 
    Bergson argues that laughter is more than amusement — it is a social act, a subtle corrective that highlights rigidity, absent-mindedness, and mechanical behavior in human life. Through vivid examples and sharp analysis, he uncovers the hidden logic behind comedy, showing how humor exposes the delicate interplay between individuality and the social order. 
    Narrated with clarity and sophistication by Luke Oldham, this audiobook brings Bergson’s timeless insights to life, offering listeners a fresh perspective on the everyday comic moments that shape our shared human experience. 
    Perfect for lovers of philosophy, psychology, literature, and anyone curious about why we laugh — and what our laughter truly means.
