Yesterday I was waiting for this file to finish downloading and I had in the other Window Amazon open, so I typed 'sucks' in the search bar well because I was bored and kind of grumpy, and I got this result (among others) which i couldn't resist to post:

'Why Your Life Sucks (paperback)*

Book Description
The in-your-face, no-hype guide to getting happy…

Your life sucks if…
• You routinely make someone or something more important than you
• The life you are living on the outside doesn’t match who you are on the inside
• You say yes when you mean no
• You try to fix other people
• You’ve forgotten to enjoy the ride

When your life sucks, it’s a wake-up call. Now self-help guru and bestselling author Alan Cohen invites you to answer that call, change your course, and enjoy the life you were meant to live. In ten compelling chapters, Cohen shows you how to stop wasting your energy on people and things that deaden you–and use it for things you love.

With great humor, great examples, and exhilarating directness, Why Your Life Sucks doesn’t just spell out the ways in which you undermine your power, purpose, and creativity–it shows you how to reverse the damage. Here is an encouraging but loud-and-clear reminder that in every moment we generate our own experience by the choices we make, and that today is the best day to begin your new life.'

People bought it, believed it adn rated it with maximum stars?????????????????!!!!! What on Earth!!!! It's like this Ad I read on Vlanetine's Day which said: "Cheap Valentine's Day gifts to show your love".

Does anyone else out there think there's something seriously wrong with that??!!!! I mean buying a book from a guy that already stated you're a loser, I mean he has such an awesome life that he gets to say your life sucks and he gets paid to tell you this, and also gets published??!!!! Or showing that you can "show love" with a cheap present, so basicaly your life sucks and love can only be bought... There's nothing else to it... I think I'll start a small collection of things like these I find on the internet and in the streets.. it's just to interesting-slash-funny-slash-depressing to let it slip by.

*Note: I haven't read the book (call me crazy)... Sure maybe if you buy it you'll be "happy" and you'll get a new life, or a better idea once you've bought it instead of reading it you could just rub it on yourself I mean it has to work it's like magical;  after all it WILL solve your life up.
