Me: I really like this book. My dad really gets me.
Preston: Really? What’s it about?
Me: Well, this guy keeps failing and then he keeps trying again.
Preston: That’s called life. I could write that book. I’ve failed at a lot of things.
Me: Yeah, well, you should do that then! <total sarcasm> Go write a book!
Preston: Everyone fails. If people didn’t get back up and try again there would be no successful people.
Me: It’s about more than that!
Preston: Like what?
Me: Geez, get off my book’s back! I really like it!
Preston: <laughing> I’m not making fun of your book. It was just how you described it.
Me: Well, apparently I failed at the description, I guess I should go ahead and try again. See. Look how that book is teaching me things already.
Preston: Okay…
Me: Well, I’m not going to describe it right now… I haven’t read enough of the book. It has, like, goals and stuff in it too.
Preston: Like?
Me: Well, it says I need to get at least 8-9 hours of sleep. That’s not gonna happen. Especially with me reading this book. Oh, but also, it says to exercise, and “you don’t have to go out and run 8 miles today.” But, I totally did that already today. I can run 8 miles. I’ll pick that running goal instead of the sleeping one.
Preston: I’m glad you like your book.
Don’t worry, I’m not giving away a free book book in this post. I’ve already tried to do that (in this post) and I couldn’t get enough comments to even do that. PS, there’s still time for that. That offer never expires (well, it will when I get 100 comments). <— Free book.
But, if you’re interested in “self help” or “motivational” books, this one’s a good one.
So, go ahead, go self help yourself. You’ll thank me for it later.
PS, check out this link here, apparently James (the author) says he’ll give you your money back if you buy the book. Oh, you have to actually read it. Interesting. (;
