National bestselling author Dave Tarnowski the visionary behind the 2.4-million+ follower
@DisappointingAffirmations Instagram account is back with a fresh and funny brace of realistic
affirmations that recognize that failure is always an option across the many splendors of our
lives. Life: It’s often disappointing! Whether it’s everyday experiences with family
friends work love or the general hell of other people there’s ample opportunity for
disillusionment. Hilarious disillusionment. Disappointment guru Dave Tarnowski' s second
collection features new and exclusive affirmations and dozens of transformed and unpublished
fan favorites from his wildly popular Instagram account. This abundance of wisdom is
helpfully organized into eight everyday subjects on which we can all use a little subversive
sympathetic enlightenment (including Daily Motivation Work Success and Other People). Dave
excavates each subject further in a funny clear-eyed short essay. All photos are his own. All
feelings widely shared. Like a non-disappointing gift with purchase the book' s jacket
folds out into a new motivational poster suitable for display anywhere disappointment may
strike. IT REALLY IS OKAY TO NOT BE OKAY: People say “It’s okay to not be okay ” but then it
feels like they need you to be okay. This subversively funny book is the perfect way to remind
ourselves or anyone who needs it that it' s better to deal with our feelings honestly than
fall into the “positive vibes only” self-help trap. MORE FEELINGS THAN EVER BEFORE:
Tarnowski' s pithy photo-illuminated consolations and manifestos are as sharp and relatable
as ever. Now paired with observational essays that plumb depths and cast light it' s a
whole new ride. TOXIC POSITIVITY CAN GO TO HELL: Enough already. WAIT THERE’S MORE! See
