Little Victories: Perfect Rules for Imperfect Living Audiobook (Free)

The Wall Road Journal’s popular columnist Jason Homosexual delivers a hilarious and heartfelt guide to modern living.

“The book you hold in your hand is a rule book. There were guideline books before-stacks upon stacks of them-but this publication is unlike any other guideline book you have ever read. It will not make you abundant with twenty-four hours, or even seventy-two hours. It will not make you shed eighty pounds in a week. This book does not have any abdominal exercises. I have been doing abdominal training exercises for about Small Victories: Perfect Guidelines for Imperfect Living most of my adult existence, and my tummy appears like it’s constantly looked. It looks like flan. Syrupy flan. Therefore we can just limit those goals. This book will not provide a crash diet or a plan for maximizing your best self. I don’t understand something about your best self. It might be embarrassing. Your very best self may be sprinkling peanut M&M’s onto rest-stop pizza as we speak. I cannot promise that this reserve is a road map to achievement. And we have to probably reserve the purpose of total happiness. There’s no such point.

I would, nevertheless, like for it to cause you to laugh. Maybe believe. I believe you’ll be able to find, at any age, a new appreciation for everything you have-and everything you don’t have-as well as for the people closest for you. There’s ways to knowledge life that does not involve a telephone, a tablet, a television screen. There’s also a way to knowledge life that will not involve eating seafood in the airport terminal, because you should really never eat seafood on the airport terminal.

Like the name says, I’d like us all to achieve small victories. I really believe that pleasure is derived less from a substantial single accomplishment than it really is from a series of effective daily maneuvers. Maybe it’s how you feel when you walk out the entranceway after taking in six cups of espresso, or surviving a family vacation, or playing the rowdy family members Thanksgiving touch football game, or simply learning to embrace that music at the gym. Accomplishments do not have to end up being large to become meaningful. I believe little victories are the most important ones in life.”
