Bad Advice - How to Survive and Thrive in an Age of Bullshit

Los Angeles Times #1 Bestseller USA Today Bestselling Book Over motivational messages? Sick AF of inspirational quotes? Done with the shiny happy bad advice that gets you nowhere? Well, heads up: you''re about to get a shitload of Good Advice. In Bad Advice , relationship expert Dr. Venus Nicolino--a.k.a. Dr. V--takes a blowtorch to the shrink-wrapped, "feel good" BS that passes for self-help these days. When you''re heartbroken, what do you hear? You can''t love anyone until you love yourself . When someone''s hurt you? Nobody can make you feel bad without your permission. When you''re just a little too positive? Expectations lead to disappointment. Pop culture noise gives Bad Advice the varnish of truthiness and inspiration. But it''s not truth; it''s not inspiration. It''s bullshit. And at its root, all Bad Advice operates off the same lie: Emotions are optional. In Bad Advice , Dr. V delivers a bracing truth serum, in the form of Good Advice--an antidote to the bullshit, from "Just Be Yourself" to "Live Each Day Like It''s Your Last," that teaches you to live your life in a way that honors who you are, what you need, and how you feel. Smart and irreverent, Dr. V fuses the brains and insight of a nerdy Ph.D. with the heart of a doting Italian Mother and the artful profanity of a Philly trucker. Dr. V''s signature combination of humor, hard science, and heart make Bad Advice an iconoclastic course-correction like no other. A fiercely sharp wake-up call that tackles some of self-help''s most damaging truisms, Bad Advice is a never shy guide to tapping into your full potential.
