I'm Paulie Amigo - your authentic, unfiltered, unedited, honest, raw, and genuine amigo. Unlike the fake-as-f*ck hotdogs you call friends, I'm here to give you the truth about your life...specifically, the truth that you suck more than you realize. Are you aware that you suck? I'm not kidding, you f*cking suck a**. But don't worry, this self-help satire will do everything possible to wake you up and help you live the one life you've got. Your expiration date is approaching, so it's time to try something new before you lose complete control and start flipping out in traffic or eat another pint of ice cream on a Tuesday night. Your honest amigo is here to help you perceive this sh*tshow accurately. You Suck is filled with stuff that you don't want to hear. Because I didn't pay for an editor who would ensure my voice and script is suitable for a target audience of f*cktards, you can be assured that I'm being genuine to my natural tone. In fact, I could care less if you like the book, because who the f*ck are you anyway? I'm here to help you wake up and I won't sugar coat sh*t (you already have people doing that job). Plus, what are you going to do, give me a one-star review with a scathing comment? I hope you do, because your insulin is dropping and you need to use someone as a punching bag before you freak out in public or insult someone on social media (What would you do without social media? Let's not imagine that fiasco just yet...I'll save that craziness for the book.) If you're currently addicted to self-help authors, content creators, self-absorbed gurus, podcasters, influencers, or anyone of popularity today (basically anyone with thousands of dumb-as-f*ck followers), this satire will hopefully be a wakeup call and relief. If you're wondering how I came up with the idea for this book, I read a mindfulness workbook titled "30 Days to Stop Giving a Sh*t." If you haven't tried mindfulness, it'll save you a sh*t ton of time and money. If you don't learn to slow the f*ck down, then you're simply rushing toward a dismissal end. If you like this book and want to read more content from your authentic amigo (Paulie Amigo), let me know in the comments section. You can even drop suggestions for other content you'd like me to help you with. If you liked my style, please share me with others... post the You Suck cover to your pathetic social media account, use #YouSuckBook and #PaulieAmigo, and tag your favorite influencer, podcaster, and any other snake-oil f*cker you've been hypnotized by for the last year. Let those sh*tbags know that they suck as much as you and I. (This book received a "1 Star Recognition Award" from the 'Association of Writers Who Don't Give a F*ck' because of its offensive tone, weird tangents, crazy syntax, and selective apathy.)

Discover how the freedom of sucking at something can help you build resilience, embrace imperfection, and find joy in the pursuit rather than the goal. What if the secret to resilience and joy is the one thing we’ve been taught to avoid? When was the last time you tried something new? Something that won’t make you more productive, make you more money, or check anything off your to-do list? Something you’re really, really bad at, but that brought you joy? Odds are, not recently. As a sh*tty surfer and all-around-imperfect human Karen Rinaldi explains in this eye-opening book, we live in a time of aspirational psychoses. We humblebrag about how hard we work and we prioritize productivity over play. Even kids don’t play for the sake of playing anymore: they’re building blocks to build the ideal college application. But we’re all being had. We’re told to be the best or nothing at all. We’re trapped in an epic and farcical quest for perfection. We judge others on stuff we can’t even begin to master, and it’s all making us more anxious and depressed than ever. Worse, we’re not improving on what really matters. This book provides the antidote. (It’s Great to) Suck at Something reveals that the key to a richer, more fulfilling life is finding something to suck at. Drawing on her personal experience sucking at surfing (a sport she’s dedicated nearly two decades of her life to doing without ever coming close to getting good at it) along with philosophy, literature, and the latest science, Rinaldi explores sucking as a lost art we must reclaim for our health and our sanity and helps us find the way to our own riotous suck-ability. She draws from sources as diverse as Anthony Bourdain and surfing luminary Jaimal Yogis, Thich Nhat Hanh, and Jean-Paul Sartre, among many others, and explains the marvelous things that happen to our mammalian brains when we try something new, all to discover what she’s learned firsthand: it is great to suck at something. Sucking at something rewires our brain in positive ways, helps us cultivate grit, and inspires us to find joy in the process, without obsessing about the destination. Ultimately, it gives you freedom: the freedom to suck without caring is revelatory. Coupling honest, hilarious storytelling with unexpected insights, (It’s Great to) Suck at Something is an invitation to embrace our shortcomings as the very best of who we are and to open ourselves up to adventure, where we may not find what we thought we were looking for, but something way more important.
A lot of books on driving are written by professional racers who assume you too want to be a professional racer. Not this book. It's written by a hobbyist who suggests you keep your day job. Besides, it's much more fun being an enthusiastic amateur than a jaded professional (just ask someone in the sex industry). This book is designed to help the average driver make the transition from commuter to safe road racer in as few pages as possible. I wrote this book because it's what I would have wanted to read when I first became interested in track driving: succinct, nerdy, practical, and occasionally diverting. It is not intended as a definitive tome or a work of art. It's more like a sandwich: convenient and nourishing.
