If there was ever a time in our society when we need to take it down a notch, it's now. In this hilarious satire of the PROSPERITY & EXCELLENCE industry, Stone examines how mediocrity affects all aspects of our life. Mediocrity in our lifestyle, work, love, church and even our bodies. While making you laugh out loud at how ridiculous we really are, he offers a simple solution for those of us who are constantly under stress trying to overachieve when just being average is a better way to live. Stone believes happiness will come quicker to those who find true contentment with who they are and where they are.

About the Author:
Vince Stone is an average guy whose undistinguished success in business prompted him to write a book. When trying to decide what to write about, everyone advised him to Write What You Know. So, he figured he knew all about mediocrity. His goal is to be the leading authority on the subject. Stone did graduate from college even going so far as to earn a Masters degree, but he only carried a B average. He lives in Tennessee with his overachieving wife and three kids.
Review:
I thought this book was really funny even though it goes against my overachieving ways. I told my producer to call him and get him on our show. It was fun to have him. --Gretchen Carlson, Host FOX & FRIENDS
We got this book in our office and it just cracked us up. Embracing Your Inner Mediocrity is a light-hearted self-help book about the very simple fact that most of us are mediocre. Not failures, just average. The basic message of the book is that the sooner you can accept your place in the middle, the happier you will be. And what's great about this book is Vince's full-on mediocre approach to the book. The cover, for instance. Look at the expression on his face. GENIUS. It's a fun read, and there's something to be said about scaling back our delusions of grandeur...am I right, AIG? --Late Night with Jimmy Fallon (NBC.com)
Not everyone is going to be a rock star with thousands of adoring fans. Embracing Your Inner Mediocrity: Making Peace With Reality is an inspirational de-inspirational guide. Not everyone is going to be the absolute best, writes Vince Stone, and sometimes realizing that is the best way to make peace with oneself. A self-help manual that doesn't believe in you, Embracing Your Inner Mediocrity helps the reader restrain his or her ego while remaining focused on being as capable as he or she can humanly be. --The Midwest Book Review
