- David M. Reed
WELCOME, TRAVELER!
Yes! Welcome, welcome. Please, sit back now, relax, and buckle up for safety as award-winning writer, part-time neologist, and professional tour guide David M. Reed deftly leads you down the self-help rabbit hole on an all new, unprecedented journey of personal growth full of warmth, insight, spirited advice, and lively banter. Whether you know it or not, you are already courageously embarking on the most daring, bedazzling, and ultimately fulfilling journey through the modern-day self-help experience.
Pack your bags, check your cognitive bias at the door, and prepare yourself for a multi-layered, evocative, deeply intimate, and long overdue conversation-equal parts self-help book, anti-self-help book, thought exercise, and performance art-laced intricately with a just hint of danger and a healthy dollop of whimsy.
The Second-to-Last Self-Help Book You'll Ever Read holds a prominent and proud place on the bookshelves of bold, curious Truthseekers such as yourself-the ones brave enough to ask the questions that scare them. The title alone is a conversation starter.
This here, Traveler, is the Dijon ketchup of self-help books. This is the mountain-grown, organic, house-roasted coffee served to you fresh, hot, and a little bitter-a feast for the senses to be savored cover-to-cover, and it is NOT for the faint of heart.
Though you are intrigued, before you embark, please first ponder these questions:
- Have you grown tired of paying for the pleasure of being told what you already know?
- Have you, like countless others, developed an aversion to trendy, recycled platitudes and inspiration-in-a-can?
- Is life just not getting easier for some weird reason no matter how hard you try?
- Does happiness makes you sad sometimes-and vice versa?
- Do you sometimes feel like the dumbest, least competent person on the planet, while yet maintaining a restless and intangible sense of DESTINY?
- In a world full of contradiction, confusion and distraction, wouldn't it be great to know even one single thing with absolute certainty? Just one?
- Are you an autonomous free-thinker? Are you sure about that?
- Are you even breathing right?
- Are you open to a challenge and ready for a unique perspective on life, self-help, and the experience of being human?
If you are not ready yet, that's okay. Truthfully, most people aren't. But IF you are determined to take this critical next step on your transformational journey, be advised that you must bring your own thinking cap, imagination, and sense of humor. To appreciate this book, you must be open to considering-or at least enduring-contradictory perspectives.
EXCERPTS:
I'm not looking to change you. I'm looking to challenge you.
Resistance is useful.
You don't have to get to get it. Get it?
...once you...grow accustomed to my purposeful and whimsical nonsense...with the twists and turns and caveats and asides, the occasional non sequitur, tangent, or digression-have a little faith that it all comes together...
...you have the choice to quit, to endure, or to adapt.
Don't skip stuff.
...ridiculous...
I hate your face!
...and much more...
