You've all seen those self-help books sitting on the shelves at your local bookstore, written by some psychologist or pastor or MD or Jennifer Love-Hewitt BS-ing you about how to lose weight or find love or build your self-esteem. This is, uh, this is not going to be about any of them.
Aaron Goldfarb is the lovely fellow in that picture above, an Oklahoma City native who moved to New York City to... well, I'm not really sure why he moved to New York City, but he did and he wrote a book. Which is how we have arrived at this point. It's called "How to Fail: The Self Hurt Guide," and it's exactly that. It's also extremely funny and crass, which is why readers of this blog will probably like it.
