A satirical yet real perspective on individualism, sovereignty, spiritualism and social discourse through the eyes and ears of the every-man/woman/they/it/them/mammal that hates the taste of kale, has no time or patience for kundalini breathing exercises and is just trying to get through life with as minimal damage as possible in the “New Normal.”
Humor is the best medicine and this book provides a nice dose of haha’s for those of us who are fed up and aren’t pulled into the manufactured polarity and manipulation that is high jacking our individual consciousness.
There’s an old adage about not judging a book by its cover. Does that apply to titles, too? Author James Pravasilis delivers a self-help book using the title The Asshole’s Guide to Everyday Living.
Using a definite tongue-in-cheek approach, he adds a note for readers who might find some of the text too “rageful” or “heavy” to try reading it out loud in a high-pitched baby voice. Without a doubt, this is not a book for readers who are sensitive or easily offended.
There’s something rather commendable about an author who can devote 12 chapters and 97 pages featuring all sorts of potty humor while delivering some profound words of wisdom. However, his approach is very likely going to draw in readers who typically would shy away from a traditional self-help book.
Some of what he says would fall into the outright audacious category likely included to boost the shock value. The overall message of being able to think for oneself is a universal truth that can’t be emphasized enough.
The Asshole’s Guide to Everyday Living underscores the importance of being independent thinkers using a rather non-traditional approach.
If being a defiant independent free thinker who won’t bend to divisive narratives and polarized ideologies aimed at high-jacking people’s consciousness makes me an Asshole….. then so be it! Join me and allow me to be your guide.
