{"product_id":"shit-aint-perfect-evan-bollinger-9781492716860","title":"Shit Ain't Perfect","description":"\u003cb\u003eHere are the facts: you aren't impressive. Your neighbors may own a better car, your friends may have better jobs, and your relatives may wonder why you drink so much during the holidays. Chances are, you're not a multi-millionaire and never will be. There are plenty of people smarter, hotter, and downright 'better' at what they do, than you. More likely than not, your daily excitement comes from getting off work, having some time to unwind, or a drink, or a nice big meal. Or perhaps, a pleasant bowel movement.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Shit Ain't Perfect\" takes the motivational powers of a self-help book and combines them with the harsh truth, offbeat whooping of a satire. What results is a book unlike any others: a definitive end to \"positive thinking\"... and a promising start to \"realistic thinking.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eAre you looking for a life guide that is unafraid to dredge up the shit, no sanitation present? Can you handle a little dark humor with your motivation? And what about your life? Are you a more or less typical person looking for some solid advice on life, from somebody totally unqualified to give it? \u003c\/i\u003eWhy of course...\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eShit Ain't Perfect leaves no stone unturned. This offbeat life guide will leave you shocked, pissed, and most likely confused. It will unlock all the skeletons in the closet and send them scurrying into your bedroom. It will show you, and others like you, why life is better with a laugh. If you enjoy dark humor, sharp insights, fart jokes, racism, sexism, ageism, and just about any '-ism' you can think of... then this book is ripe for you! \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eChances are, you're a lot like me. \u003ci\u003eHuman.\u003c\/i\u003e And if you're human, you're probably equipped with enough blood and brains to know the truth: Life can suck. But that doesn't mean that life \u003ci\u003edoes\u003c\/i\u003e suck. In fact, life is filled to the brim with incredible moments--just mostly wedged between incredible failures. Which is why you're here, previewing this marvelous self-help book. But again... \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBe warned, dear seeker of life guide. If you're looking for a traditional self-help, you've come to the wrong place. See, this is not your typical motivational book. Your standard life guide of positive thinking will do two things: \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e(1)\u003c\/i\u003e lay on the bullshit so thick you could choke on it, and \u003ci\u003e(2)\u003c\/i\u003e expect you to swallow.\u003c\/b\u003e However, if you're here to cast aside the positive thinking mantra and get real, then let's go. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA \u003ci\u003ereal\u003c\/i\u003e life guide tells you the truth. Why have a positive attitude when a realistic one is better? Why create an unsustainable bubble of happiness that will puncture at Life's first big punch? Why convince yourself of a falsehood when the truth will set you free? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis irreverent satire targets such critical issues as...\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePersonality type\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow humans interact in public places\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe quirks of dicks and chicks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe shitty beauty of economy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSex and trauma\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe art of 'self-love'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe ticklish underbelly of race\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe suckiness of war\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe popularity of drugs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe craziness of disorders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnd, most importantly of all: why you should give two bladder stones what this author thinks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cb\u003eAll in all, Shit Ain't Perfect is an incisive excavation of Life, revealing why sometimes we humans should just suck it up and keep on going.
