What self-help book would you write today if you had to? What would the title be?
Edited on Mon Sep-19-11 10:36 PM by applegrove
I have been trying to work out what god means to me because of AA. I was in a long car trip in the back seat and was afraid the car would crash (ptsd) and I could not relax. I started playing with a bungee cord and stuck my finger in a little hole in the plastic end of the cord. My fears disappeared. As long as my finger was in that hole I felt secure and comforted. And I realized I had taken comfort from something outside of myself. Which is a start. So I would write a book called "God is a Bungee Cord".

1. "How to Stop Being a Stupid Fucking Asshole Dickweed"
There's a HUGE market for that.

5. Holy crap, that's eerily close to mine..."Quit Being Such a Tool"
I've also got a whole spin-off line of merchandise, including journals, calendars and inspirational coffee mugs.

6. Your title would be more likely to make it onto the shelves.
