An Absurd Guide to Goals, Obsession, and Talking to Dogs
What if the path to success was paved with talking pets, historical ghosts, and a trillion chances to fail?

Forty-Something Dad just wants to achieve his goals -- whether it's finally publishing his book series or finding the mythical Cave of Diamonds. But his self-help journey quickly veers into the absurd when his lessons are delivered by a pompous, British-accented pen, a philosophical Kung Fu Monkey, and a holographic mouse controlled by his wife's phone app.

Welcome to the only motivational guide where the protagonist is the author, the narrator is a plot device, and every life lesson is learned through catastrophic, yet hilarious, trial and error.

Inside this wildly self-aware novel, you'll discover:


Dream Huge: Why your goals aren't big enough unless they're worth risking a high-speed chase through a monastery (or is it a Montessori?).


You're Closer Than You Think: The terrifying realization that your success might be just an inch of rock away, and why you need a time-traveling, superhero version of yourself to save you from your own stupidity (over one trillion times).


Model Your Mentor: Why you shouldn't copy the actions of Mark Twain if you want to be a modern author -- and what to do when Abraham Lincoln holds up the airport security line.


Let It Go: The ultimate act of self-trust, learned after a two-month, teeth-clenched standoff with a six-month-old puppy over a bright yellow squeaky ball.

If you're tired of dry, conventional self-help books and prefer your life advice delivered with maximum chaos and meta-commentary, Forty-something Dad: Goals is your wake-up call. It's a laugh-out-loud, genre-bending novel that proves the greatest obstacle to achieving your dreams is usually just... you.
