Publisher's summary

In a world filled with trolls, we all need to live life more like a goblin. What does it mean to "live life like a goblin"? It means to give no f--ks, but also all the f--ks in the world at the same time. It means to be constantly anxiety-ridden while also eternally optimistic. A goblin's heart, specifically John Goblikon's, is filled with love, joy, angst, constant quandary, Chili's Southwestern egg rolls, metal, and empathy. Through the goblin eyes of being an internet celebrity/insurance salesman/rock-and-roll mascot for the Goblin Metal outfit, Nekrogoblikon, we learn about life, death, business, food, music, travel, culture, dating, school, drinking, compassion, and much more!

John walks listeners through crucial life steps, from becoming internet famous, to getting dates with special someones, to even correct ordering techniques for the perfect meal at Chili's.

Have a problem? John Goblikon assumes he knows how to help you solve it...all in this new, for-sure-to-be-a-New-York-Times-best-seller-and-win-like-100-awards debut: John Goblikon's Guide to Living Your Best Life.

Enjoyable

Love that it is read by John Goblikon, it wouldn’t have been as good read by anyone else. It’s more for entertainment value than it is for self help, but there is some good advice too. Definitely worth a listen. Great job John, I hope you get all the awards for this book.

Time to live!

Before listening to this book, everything was terrible. Now I know how to handle Brads and exactly where I should go for Happy Hour everyday! Thanks John!

Eye Opening Experience

Loved it!
The most memorable moment was learning "excuses are like assholes, it's all about presentation."
John Goblikon is a narrative sensation, unlike any other.

Thanks to this audiobook, during hard times in America due to the COVID-19 pandemic; I as an essential worker, took a shot listening to this book as an outlet for my feelings.

Because of the lessons learned in this book, from start to finish, I willingly restrained myself from quitting my warehouse job and starting my new life as a Chaturbate model. Although my delectable yams would've been a hit and definitely put me in the top 200 position on the site, I made the right call and I'm sticking my neck out for people in need, rather than selfishly be concerned about my income.

I recommend this book for anyone going though a rough time RIGHT NOW (see what I did l there?) and in need of an escape from this hellscape of a reality.

P.S. Told my co-worker Brad (who isn't technically classified as a Brad but still associated by name) to fuck off.

P.S.S Some insight on Brad, he is at least 6 foot tall and 250lbs, in his free time he likes jamming out to Type O Negative and practicing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu... He's a little upset with me but I will gift him this audiobook to make amends.

Five out of Five Stars!

Live your best (green) life!

John Goblikon shares his otherworldly experiences with us in the hope of helping us reach our best selves, our goblin selves. From things such as dealing with work, self-image, and eating at Chili's, Mr. Goblikon does his best to make sure we all understand that life is fleeting and we need to make the most of it right now. RIGHT NOW.

Nekrogoblikon being one of my favorite bands, I knew I had to read this self-help book penned by their mascot, John Goblikon. His wild musings were hilarious, and had me laughing quite a bit while driving (which is mainly when I like to listen to audiobooks, which is the best format for this book to be enjoyed). I finished this book in a single day, and only wish there was more to be had.

For fans of metal, goblins, and Chili's, I highly recommend you buy this book. And do yourself a favor and splurge a bit more for the audiobook. I promise you won't regret it.

Rock on...

...at Chillie's. Why this have to be 15 words or more? I don't have that much to say.
