Let's face it, We are all going to fail. Sometimes. There are few things more certain in life. Quite frankly, there are times when your best is just not good enough. For every winner, there must inevitably be a host of people who were pipped to the post. The law of averages alone would suggest that one of them is going to be you, at least once in your life. This is the sad but certain truth that we must all learn. But is it such a sad truth after all? It is strange that we all seem to have such difficulty learning this simply fact. Every day, this integral part of life is looked upon with shame and sadness, with feelings of embarrassment and inadequacy, with several bottles of scotch and with crying on stairs. Instead, what we ought to be doing is embracing our failure. Only then can we explore our fullest potential to fail, and so achieve the greatest part of our humanity. This book teaches you how to come to terms with yourself as the miserable failure that you undoubtedly are, and how to enjoy yourself because of, rather than in spite of, your short-comings and misdeeds.

Following in the footsteps of his snarky self-help hit, How to Be Miserable, psychologist Randy J. Paterson uses his trademark wit and irony to help you tackle the most common roadblocks that stand in the way of successful “adulting.” Are you living in your parent’s basement? Can you measure your life by the hours you spend video streaming or gaming? Do you have absolutely no idea who you really are or what matters to you? Are you emotionally stunted and incapable of mature relationships? Great! Keep it up. If you just can’t get enough of being miserable, you’re on the right path. In How to Be Miserable in Your Twenties, you won’t find platitudes or promises of love, happiness, and a fabulous life. What you will find are 40 strategies to help you cultivate a life of abject misery. On the other hand, if you want to take control of your destiny, find meaning and a sense of purpose, or just be a damn grownup, feel free to do the opposite of what this book says. You may yet join the ranks of happy people everywhere! So, keep getting caught in the same self-defeating traps that have led you to an unfulfilling existence—or not! Either way, this book will help you take a good long look at yourself and your life, and come up with a solid action plan for your worst (or best) future.

An ordinary man leaves his house for a routine drive to work in order to earn his daily bread. Ten minutes into his drive, he is stopped by the utility workers working on a piece of road damaged by the last night’s torrential flood storm, and his trip is inadvertently delayed. Pressed by time to be still on time for work, the legal system shows its true teeth and catches up on him. Wrapping its claws around him, the system arbitrarily turns his normally innocent trip into an unexpected nightmarish show of bureaucratic power on loose. Perspective (A driver’s tale) is an inexorable product of the modern democracy in its present decline and metamorphosis into yet another monstrous police state, with some of its subliminal and chameleonic workings exposed. The pen that catches only a fraction of the highly diversified destructive forces responsible for its decline is sometimes vitriolic, never apologetic, always striving for objectivity and reason, and its language at times effusive, at others laconic, all in service of clarity. Its vocabulary ranges from simple, homebound, to complex, technical, in support of the moods that shift from funny, hilarious, sarcastic and ironic to iconoclastic, expository, satirical and heretical, the dichotomy presupposed. The panoply of expression is, however, and above all, direct and unceremonious.

A step-by-step plan offers examples and exercises on how to determine and live by a set of values, experiment with failure as a formula for success, and take life beyond set limits.

An inspirational story that will resonate with all age groups from adults to teenagers, parents, mentors, and leaders, The Valley of Hope: A fable about self-discovery and a quest to find your true destiny takes us on an uplifting quest of self-discovery. Ping, a smooth little ball adopted by the Pong family is convinced his destiny is to be a golf champion. Misguidedly believing this is his true vocation, he strives valiantly to meet the aspirations of his family and bravely bears the vicious wrath of Thorn, his tutor in golf school, who whacks him relentlessly and fails miserably to get Ping to do anything right. Ping thinks he's a loser and finds solace among the Bad Balls for a while, but realises this too is not his true calling. Befriended by intriguing characters like Sunny the Sunflower, Chippie, Daphne, and Gardenia, Ping recognises the value of true friends, who strengthen his resolve and support him through his trials and tribulations as well as the joys and triumphs of his journey. With the help of Great Ping Fu, who acts as his guide and mentor, Ping encounters the lessons and mysteries of the Less Travelled Road, the Path Unknown, the Gardens of Criticism, Destruction, Forgiveness and Resentment to find his way onto the Destiny Train that sees him fulfil his potential. His journey ends in the Valley of Hope, where he discovers his true destiny. Carolyn Landesman is an inspirational leader, executive coach, and motivator.
