    About this audiobook

    Is it time for you to just give up?

    Because every time you aim low, you’ll feel like you’ve died and gone to Disneyland. You’ll be in a place where you’re never concerned about hard work, a place where you never feel guilty for goofing off all day, a place where nobody expects anything from you, a place where choosing to eat a third corn dog--or not--will be the hardest decision of your day.

    No, You Can’t also offers such crumbs of wisdom as:

    • Hope is a crutch. Crutches are only good for getting two things: awesome parking at the mall and sympathy dates. Otherwise, they will just slow you down.
    • You can’t be a failure when you have no hope of winning.
    • Whoever said nothing is easy has never tried quitting.

    Aiming low is as easy as breathing. You can practically do it without thinking. And the skills required to get there--like quitting and making excuses--take less time to learn than you might imagine. All you need is No, You Can’t and the stark realization that you don’t really want to “be all that you can be.” In fact, your expectations can go so low that anything you DO achieve is completely surprising.

      I've been reading a ton of self-help books this year. I've needed them. My life has been sad and difficult and they've been a lot cheaper than hiring a therapist.Aim Low is the book that tells me I've just wasted the past year reading those books and I shouldn't have bothered. Tongue in cheek (I hope ;-)), this book allows all of us to be happy losers, content in our lives as underachievers, never hoping or expecting more than last place.Witty and fun. I hate to admit it, but this book, although meant as black humor, actually was a little bit too close to the truth . Holding that mirror up to my loser face was a bit uncomfortable. But, I'm just going to laugh and tell myself that this book isn't talking about me -- it's about all you people out there. Yeah. I'll just keep telling myself that.
