Another Year of Disappointments (Paperback)

Another Year of Disappointments is not your typical self-help book.
It’s the antidote to all of them.

Every page of this elegantly miserable collection delivers a perfectly crafted dose of realism disguised as wit — two lines per day, one to state the truth and one to undercut it. Across 365 days, you’ll find an entire year of honesty, humor, and quiet surrender wrapped in the language of inspiration gone wrong.

In a world obsessed with productivity, hustle, and positivity, Another Year of Disappointments reminds us that it’s okay to be tired, unimpressed, and profoundly average. It’s a demotivational calendar for people who have outgrown empty affirmations but still appreciate a good laugh about how things rarely work out as planned.

Whether you start on January 1 or halfway through the year, each entry offers a moment of shared resignation — and a sly grin for those who know that “staying positive” isn’t always the answer.

• 365 daily entries of darkly funny anti-motivation — one for every single disappointing day of the year.

• Two-line format: a bold statement followed by an italicized truth — simple, elegant, devastating.

• The perfect gift book for pessimists, realists, burned-out optimists, and anyone allergic to toxic positivity.

• A clean, minimalist design with no filler or fluff — just honest humor and quiet catharsis.

• Written and developed by Lawrence Craig Bergman.

• Fans of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fck*, The Daily Stoic, or Unspirational Quotes.

• Professionals trapped in endless meetings, creatives avoiding deadlines, or anyone who’s mastered the art of “showing up anyway.”

• A witty desk companion, daily meditation, or gift for that one friend who always tells it like it is.

• Anyone who’s realized that surviving the year might actually be enough.
