The Donkey Who Wanted to Be A Horse: Self-Help Book for Anyone Is Apparently Doing Life Wrong

What happens when you follow every piece of self-help advice-and your life still refuses to cooperate?Robert wakes up at five in the morning. Then at four. Then at three thirty, because apparently success rewards whoever sleeps the least.He takes cold showers, steps outside his comfort zone, thinks positive, visualizes his dream car, learns new skills, surrounds himself with successful people, refuses to give up, and stops making excuses.Naturally, everything goes according to plan.Except for the job he hates, the painfully awkward date, the car the universe sends him, the game he cannot sell, the money he loses by refusing to quit, and the military test he aces-only to watch someone who failed get hired instead.The Donkey Who Wanted to Be a Horse is an autobiographical self-help parody about what happens when universal advice collides with an inconveniently complicated life.Funny, painfully honest, and unexpectedly thoughtful, it does not claim that self-help advice is useless.That would be too simple.The problem is that sometimes it works.
