Hi Everyone, Avi Here.

Just so you know, reading my book will not help you to grow spiritually, realize your unlimited potential, lose weight, or fart heart bubbles into your dysfunctional relationship. If that’s what you’re after, then Dr. Phil & Co. have entire product lines available to help you play a delusional game of pretend called I’m Awesome… No-no-no, You Don’t Get It–I’m Friggin’ AWESOME!

You won’t get any of that shit here. Wherever possible, I will use science-backed, empirical studies by credentialed researchers to support up my claims. Wherever not possible, I will make stuff up or flat-out lie. In either case, I will answer the burning questions surrounding why SH material makes so many of us feel like crap about ourselves.

Tired of the Positivity Posse and their endless parade of self-help books condemning anything short of perpetual optimism? I hope my writing helps you to reevaluate your relationship with this potentially damaging material.

Buying My Book Goes to Support Me and My Wealthy Family.

No, I don’t donate any proceeds to neglected children, pregnant mothers, families with chronic mosquito problems, or nations whose citizens don’t eat for weeks at a time. I probably should. But I don’t want to.

Whenever you buy one of my books, join my newsletter, refer me to speak at one of your events, or visit my site, I use the money to either 1.) Buy more overpriced Lululemon gear to wear for my late afternoon Peloton classes.  2.) Yeah, that’s pretty much it.
