 Description: 

In this powerful guide, self-help in a shotglass, covering important subjects, from insecurity and posturing to workouts and women, the angry therapist who has helped thousands of men find more satisfaction in their relationships and more meaning in their lives now shares his wisdom with everyone.

John Kim came to an extraordinary realization deep in post-divorce soul searching: he was a miserable f*ck who could just be to blame for the issues in his life. Equipped with this new perspective, he started The Angry Therapist blog, an admission that he was no better than the people who sought his advice when he was a licensed therapist and life coach. He wrote about the challenges and deficiencies that had brought him to this stage in his first post, "My Fucking Feelings." Kim progressed from acting like a child to living like a man as his work caught on, catapulting him into the role of an unexpected and unorthodox guide for thousands of people around the world, and teaching his clients how to do so as well.

Kim supplies the dos and don'ts for moving up and into manhood in I Used to Be a Miserable F*ck, which he describes by transparency and strength of character, not six-pack abs or a corner office. Kim takes you on a rugged, rough and tumble road trip of self-exploration and discovery, sharing his wisdom and observations with his trademark no-nonsense style that will make you laugh and think, such as why:

It is for boys to be good, and being kind is for men,

Scheduling dates for men could make you a better friend, lover, and human being

Peeing in the shower is an example of a greater problem.

It prevents you from a healthy relationship, a great career, and a happier life, arguing, judging, and responding, "I dunno"

We're not men who were born. We're boys born. An internal process that involves work is the transformation from suffering to meaning: contemplation, pain, bravery, and often, a rebirth. Kim knows this because there he was. Truth be told, men were not only meant to pay bills and die. You're going to love strong, walk tall, and discover a life filled with meaning and passion with this book as your guide.
