How Not To Be A D**K: The Subtle Art of Caring a little Bit More Than You Did Before. (Paperback or Softback)

It's very easy to be a d**k, especially in these difficult and trying times, so here is a guide to either avoid becoming a d**k or, more importantly, getting you out of your d**kish way of thinking altogether. 52 lessons over 52 weeks. One lesson a week to learn, master and implement. At the end of the year, you'll hopefully be less of a d**k.

I've had a few situations recently, where friends have needed some advice or input, or just a different perspective on an issue or problem they have had, I've offered my support, advice and my take on their situations and pretty much all of them liked what I was saying and how I was saying it. A couple suggested I recorded some of these little nuggets of wisdom and here we are.

A humorous self help book is designed to enlighten and enrich the reader, whist simultaneously reducing their dickishness. This book is cram packed with life hacks, honest truths and pearls of genuine wisdom, even if I'm the only one who believes that.

The book has 52 chapters, one for each week of the year, in the hope that the reader will read one lesson and then take a week to learn and put into practice that lesson, before moving on to the next.

It is a whimsical and sometimes heavily researched book, written in the hope that bit facilitates real change. Written in the first person, almost conversational style, this book is incredibly easy to read.

From being proactive, confident and compassionate. From accessing humility, fidelity and optimism. From making your bed in the morning, showing kindness and setting real, honest, achievable goals. This book has you covered. Just don't be a d**k by the time you've finished it.
