Self-help & personal development; Advice on careers & achieving success; Parodies & spoofs

If you're unhappy, unsuccessful, and unloved it's because you're trying way too hard.

Aim for the Middle: How to Achieve Happiness, Success, and Love Through the Unbridled Power of Mediocrity gives the boot and the finger to all those ineffectual cornerstones of the self-help industrial complex like goal setting, journaling, affirmations, and getting up extra early every morning just to set goals, journal, and affirm.

When aiming for the middle, the secret to happiness, success, and love isn't working hard to achieve your potential; it's using your mediocre potential to hardly achieve. Just imagine how amazing you'll feel once the oppressive weight of excellence is finally lifted from your shoulders, freeing you to live a life less extraordinary.

Within the pages of this book, you'll discover the fundamentals for designing a life that's good enough, including...

The Mediocrity Principle. Scientific evidence that mediocre performance is not only humanity's default, it's our cosmic birthright. Proof that a life of realized adequacy is far more fulfilling than one of elusive excellence.

The Five or Six Destructive Beliefs Preventing You from Achieving Happiness, Success, and Love. Self-sabotaging, ruinous notions brainwashed into your noggin from an early age such as Try harder, Dream bigger, and You can accomplish anything if you work hard enough.

The Five Pillars of an Adequate Life. Built upon a stable foundation of not trying so hard, these tenets support a more realistic attainment of happiness, success, and love.

Packed with pop culture references so it's EZ to understand, Aim for the Middle is your wake-up call with a snooze button. If you're willing to embrace good enough, turn it into just enough, and make it more than enough, you'll be astounded at how adequacy can transform your life.

You have a rendezvous with mediocrity!

M.K. Jackson has authored countless resumes, several essays, and numerous unfinished books including Baby's First Exorcism, Testicular Manslaughter, and 100 Years of Mold and Mildew. Jackson has more degrees than a thermometer, all of them overstated, underearned, and equally useless; a Bachelor of Arts (can't get a job with it, can't teach with it), a Master of Fine Arts (can't get a job with it, but can teach with it), and a Doctor of Divinity (can't teach with it but can officiate weddings with it). The author currently resigns in Los Angeles with his childhood friend, a large, anthropomorphic white rabbit. He's available for weddings (Jackson, not the rabbit).
