Just Give Up: Why Nothing in Life is Worth Trying at All...Ever (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

Remember that "Seinfeld" episode when George came up with the idea for the pilot to Jerry, with the premise of, "Everybody's doing SOMETHING. We'll do NOTHING"? Well, it's the same thing in life. Everybody's telling people how to succeed, how to lose weight..power of positive thinking...we're flooded by these things. NO ONE is telling people to just pack it in. That's where this book comes in. "Just Give Up: Why Nothing in Life is Worth Trying At All...Ever." is a hilarious satire about why nothing is worth doing and succeeding is overrated. In 12 deliciously absurd chapters, you'll be taken on a soul crushing and eye awakening journey through all walks of life such as Fitness, Dieting, Career and Dating and why you're doomed to fail in all of them. Because you see, the folks who write those "You can do it" books really don't understand that you can't. It's refreshing to find an author who not only understands this, but has lived it. Shaun Broyls is that author, and this is that book. Although success is always something people try to reach but rarely obtain, one thing is absolutely certain: After reading "Just Give Up", you'll be laughing so hard at Shaun's own personal stories of stupidity, insanity and flat out misery, that when you're finished, your own personal failures will be just slightly easier to accept. Before opening these pages, you MUST be willing to take this pledge: "I, (insert name here), pledge to always give up, never try hard, and think of the glass as always being empty. I understand that the amount of effort I exert is proportionally tied to the disappointment I'll feel when that effort ultimately ends in failure. I pledge to tell others about this theory of life, but only do it when the opportunity presents itself, because to try and seek people out would undoubtedly end in embarrassment, harassment charges and quite possibly a dismissal from my job. I pledge to define "success" as a mediocre existence, highlighted by meals that don't burn, finding cheap gas and sexual intercourse that lasts longer than one minute. In this pledge, I also agree that the creator of this new theory of life should be saluted and hailed a hero, given a plane and allowed a threesome by his wife with Kim Kardashian. So it is written." For anyone who ever has had anything in life NOT go your way, this book is for you. Enjoy the misery of others while you confirm the fact that whatever happened to you was 100% NOT your fault in whatever aspect of life it is you failed. The phrase "I told you so" will never sound so sweet.
