From the wildly popular Instagram account, Disappointing Affirmations
hilariously counters the culture of relentless toxic positivity with a
realistic take on a disappointing world where failure is always an
option, but that's okay.
Pairing lovely vacation photos taken by the author himself with sayings
that are amusingly self-critical, encouraging, disillusioned, or all
three at once, Tarnowski points to feelings commonly unacknowledged or
hidden and spotlights them with humor, wit, and empathy. You can do it!
But you probably won't. But also: Be kind to yourself, asshole.
Transforming and re-envisioning the material for print while adding
tons of new work, this is the funny-because-it's-true, sneaky self-help
gift book for anyone who isn't happy all the time and doesn't feel seen
in the whole positive mental attitude" culture. Unfollow your dreams!
IT REALLY IS OKAY TO NOT BE OKAY: People say, "It's okay to not be
okay," but then it feels like they need you to be okay. This
subversively funny book is the perfect way to remind ourselves, or
anyone who needs it, that it's better to deal with our feelings
honestly than fall into the "positive vibes only" self-help trap.
COMEDY FOR A NEW ERA: Wellness has been slowly taking a darker turn in
popular culture, and comedy is no exception. From Inside by Bo Burnham
to the absurdity of TV giant Succession, audiences are drawn to media
that embraces discomfort rather than drowning it out. Disappointing
Affirmations may not look very comforting, but not all self-care comes
in the form of warm hugs and sunrise yoga.
FOR HUMOR BOOK FANS: Seeking a gift for the anti-optimist in your life?
This one fits the bill for fans of satirical doom classics and
self-help antidotes such as All My Friends Are Dead, Am I Overthinking
This?, the Worst Case Scenario series, and The Subtle Art of Not Giving
a F*ck .
