"You're Not That Great (but neither is anyone else)"

[ProudTVJunkie]

That's the title of the new book written by Elan Gale, who I believe is Molly Quinn's boyfriend. It was named one Bustle's 15 Best Books Coming Out This December.

Here's the synopsis on Amazon:

"The self-help industry tells you that if you're positive, if you put your best foot forward and if you just believe in yourself that you will find happiness. Let's be real, you can read all the inspirational quotes you want. You can spend your days giving yourself affirmations in your heart-shaped mirror and trying to learn to love yourself. You can say your mantra over and over again while sitting cross-legged on a yoga mat in a Whole Foods parking lot. But the truth is, you're not a badass and you still don't have the life you want. That's where You're Not That Great (but neither is anyone else) comes in. This book teaches you how to harness all the negativity in the world and use it to improve your life, taking everyday feelings like self-loathing, regret and shame and making them work for you."

Apparently Elan Gale is the Executive Producer of The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, and Bachelor in Paradise. I had no clue. I know that Molly has tweeted several pictures and videos of them together but I had no clue about Elan's background.

There are some pages available to read on the link you posted. I read several. Certainly don't think this book is for me. Maybe he is trying to be funny but if that is the case it didn't work for me.

Yes, ibmjas it's certainly a different take on a self help book and probably not for everybody. Of course Elan seems to be the type to go his own way...hence the hair style choice.
