You Are, In Fact, A Genius: The World's First Self-Glorification Book

By Patty Benes

The world's first self-glorification book.

Self-help told you to fix yourself. Patty Benes wrote 60 pages explaining why there is nothing to fix.

You Are, In Fact, A Genius is the gift book for the friend who quietly suspects they are doing fine but has never been told out loud. It is anti-self-help. It is pro-you. It is, frankly, the most enthusiastic compliment you have received this year.

Twenty short chapters. Each one celebrates a different reason you are, against your own better judgment, magnificent.

Smart. Funny. Gorgeous. Kind. A better cook than you let on. Better at picking music than the people around you. Loved by your cat (yes, even that one). The reason at least one group chat is still functioning. The friend everybody calls when something has gone sideways. The kind of person whose handwriting people, weirdly, save.

Read it in sixty minutes. Put it on the nightstand. Lend it to a friend who needs it. Buy a second copy when the first one falls apart, which it will, because a book that is read more than once tends to.

Inside: Yes, You Are Smart. Stop That.Yes, You Are Funny. Genuinely, Almost Annoyingly So.Yes, You Are Gorgeous. Sit Down.Your Taste In Music Is, Frankly, Embarrassing For Everyone ElseYes, Your Cat Loves You. Yes, Even That One.You Are The Reason Group Chats FunctionThe World Is, Genuinely, Better Because You Are In It...and thirteen more.From the book:

"It is hard to stay humble when you are you. I am sorry. It just is."

"I have not laid it on thick enough. We were always going to run out of pages before we ran out of evidence."

Perfect gift for: The friend who is going through a thingThe friend who is not going through a thing but absolutely deserves a momentBirthdays, breakups, new jobs, old jobs, TuesdaysAnyone who has, in the last week, called themselves "a mess" when they are very much notYourself, when nobody else got around to it
