Publisher's Synopsis
In an age where self-help books and motivational talks reign supreme, it is both refreshing and disturbing to come across a guide that actively encourages its readers to lead a more miserable life. "The Art of Self-Sabotage: A Guide to Making Your Days Unbearably Worse" is a curious, darkly humorous look at the numerous ways in which one can effectively ruin their day, and by extension, their life.
Every chapter of this book is a journey into the very antithesis of conventional wisdom. It artfully describes how to make the worst possible choices in every aspect of your life. From the moment you wake up until you fall into a restless sleep, it offers a comprehensive guide to every bad decision you could possibly make. The book covers all areas, from the food you consume, the way you manage your time, your relationships, your emotions, to your financial decisions. The purpose of this book is not to encourage self-destruction, but to provide a satirical commentary on the consequences of poor decision making. It serves as a mirror, reflecting the worst possible outcomes of everyday choices. By examining the potential for disaster in every decision, readers will hopefully gain a clearer understanding of the importance of making positive choices. After all, recognizing what not to do is just as important as knowing what to do. While it might seem counterintuitive, there is a method to the madness. The chapters are designed to take the reader on a journey through the worst possible day, from the moment they wake up in the morning to the moment they attempt to sleep at night. By the end of this journey, readers will have gained a profound understanding of the factors that can ruin a day and, hopefully, will be motivated to avoid these pitfalls in their own lives.
