About this listen
Welcome to a world that relishes in the mundane and celebrates the wonderfully average. How to Become a Highly Ineffective Person: 7 Habits to Embrace Mediocrity and Embody Average, by Gregory Smith, is a witty and satirical exploration of the joys of being perfectly unremarkable. Ditch the rat race and join us as we traverse the beaten path of the highly ineffective.
With clever irony and side-splitting humor, Smith reveals the seven habits that define our beloved Highly Ineffective Persons (HIPs). This is not a self-help book, but rather a "self-hinder" guide, a joyful romp through the world of procrastination, aimlessness, poor communication, and blissful ignorance.
Will you take a journey down the path less efficient and revel in the beauty of mediocrity? If so, join us in How to Become a Highly Ineffective Person. You'll laugh, you'll reflect, and you might just find a bit of your wonderfully average self hidden inside.

If you are reading these lines, you have probably fallen into the trap of overthinking. That mental maze where you get lost, always thinking of the worst, creating improbable scenarios, and losing your sense of rationality. But don't worry, you are not alone. This audiobook is for you. Overthinking is the enemy of healthy and happy relationships. It leads you to doubt everything, from the bond you have with your partner to their true intentions. If you have experienced the torment of "what if" and "maybe," you understand how destructive it can be.

Story
Many famed music producers are known for a particular sound that has its day. Rick Rubin is known for something else: creating a space where artists of all different genres and traditions can home in on who they really are and what they really offer. He has made a practice of helping people transcend their self-imposed expectations in order to reconnect with a state of innocence from which the surprising becomes inevitable. Over the years, he has learned that being an artist isn’t about your specific output, it’s about your relationship to the world.

In A More Complete Beast, Jack Donovan picks up Friedrich Nietzsche's thoughts on nobility and master morality and uses them to guide men through an "upside-down" modern world, avoid the trap of hateful ressentiment, and overcome adversity through creativity. In Donovan's hands, Nietzsche's words are rasps and chisels to help men refine a strength-based ethos, revealing their highest and noblest selves to become more complete men. And, as Nietzsche reminded us, man is a beast - so to become a more complete man is always to become a more complete beast.

Story
Breakfast of Champions (1973) provides frantic, scattershot satire and a collage of Vonnegut's obsessions. His recurring cast of characters and American landscape was perhaps the most controversial of his canon; it was felt by many at the time to be a disappointing successor to Slaughterhouse-Five, which had made Vonnegut's literary reputation.

Story
Hilarious, fascinating, and a roller coaster of dizzying, historical what-ifs, Napoleon's Hemorrhoids is a potpourri for serious historians and casual history buffs. In one of Phil Mason's many revelations, you'll learn that Communist jets were two minutes away from opening fire on American planes during the Cuban missile crisis, when they had to turn back as they were running out of fuel. You'll discover that before the Battle of Waterloo, Napoleon's painful hemorrhoids prevented him from mounting his horse to survey the battlefield.
