Just Don't Be an Assh*le: A Surprisingly Necessary Guide to Being a Good Guy
2 journalers for this copy...
I picked this up from Little Free Library #67032 and released City of Gold.
From the back of the book:
This is the tough love that boys need to hear today: a candid and whipsmart guide to being a good guy in a world full of assh*les.
In this frank, funny, and necessary guidebook, Kara Kinney Cartwright, a mom who has raised two teenage boys, compiles all the unwritten rules of being a good guy. As it turns out, everyone needs to learn one major lesson to safely avoid assh*le territory: other people are also humans (Whoa, right?)
Just Don't Ben an Assh*le additionally contains everything young men need to know to have positive interactions, make the best decisions,a nd recognize when they're being jerks. Things like,
JUST DON'T BE AN ASSH*LE:
- To your family (parents are not your employees)
- To your friends (they'll laugh at you, not with you)
- At work (no one wants to hear your podcast idea)
- To women ("Are you up?" doesn't qualify as romance)
- Online (if you wouldn't do it in the real life, don't do it)
- In the world (people unlike you are also people)
- To yourself (it's okay not to have all the answers)

This book was a lot of fun! Great advice from front to back. I'm about 30 years past the target age, but still got some useful guidance from it.

WILD RELEASE NOTES:
I released this at Little Free Library #68350 and picked up Ready Player One.
A friend of mine jokingly suggested that I sneak this book into my Husband’s life. We ended up reading it together one afternoon as he played video games and I read it aloud. The book is hilarious ! It’s a must have for your coffee table as well as your teenager or your husband. Very easy, fun read!
