How to Fail at Everything:: A Practical Guide For Coasting Through Life

By Lee H Tillman

Throughout my life I have been a recording engineer, a journalist, a rapper, a stand-up comedian and a music video director. And I have had recognizable success in exactly zero of those things. I have been fired from numerous jobs and have dropped out of college... twice. I have also been shoved into a ditch and stranded in the middle of nowhere. Ok that last example was two separate stories but I think you get the point: I know a thing or two about failure. My memoir: How to Fail at Everything: A Practical Guide For Coasting Through Life is a humorous retelling of a life lived one failure at a time. The book uses each chapter to introduce different topics. For instance the chapter "Failing at Writing" discussed how I almost ruined an interview with rapper Rick Ross. The chapter "Failing at Women" talks about the time I went out on an innocent date with a women only to find out later that she was a pornographic actress. And no, I still didn't seal the deal. While the tone is mostly humorous there are quite a few antagonizing moments such as when I found out the headmaster at my school referred to me as the "Black kid" when I wasn't around or when I discuss my failure to connect with my immediate family. But whether I am discussing my short lived stand-up comedy career or my complex relationship with sports the results are always the same: me getting up after completely falling on my face.
