If anyone can get you to give your dreams an honest shot, it's Chris Gethard, the king of somehow turning defeats into victories. -- <strong>JUDD APATOW, comedian, writer, and director</strong> This is funny, sure, but it's very much more. Chris speaks inspirational life truths to the outsider in all of us. A pithy road map of the antiestablishment path by which one can succeed in comedy and life. Gethard gets it. -- <strong>NICK OFFERMAN, actor, comedian, and author of the <em>New York Times</em> bestselling <em>Paddle Your Own Canoe</em></strong> I was on the altar of Chris Gethard's wedding, when he was waiting a really long time for his bride to show up. Like, so long. I figured, based on his past life experiences, that it wasn't going to end well. Anyway, that's what this book is like. -- <strong>MIKE BIRBIGLIA, comedian, actor, and author of the <em>New York Times</em> bestselling <em>Sleepwalk with Me-and Other Painfully True Stories</em></strong> ...Gethard's writing style is effortless and enjoyable, and his beliefs are compassionate and encouraging. Fans will be thrilled to dive deeper into his life and work, and anyone else stuck in a rut will find permission to go out and try-and fail-as often and as well as possible. -- <em><strong>Publishers Weekly</strong></em> Chris Gethard's Lose Well will change the way you think about failure. It's funny, heartfelt, and full of advice that every creative person needs to hear. -- <strong>Hello Giggles</strong> ...the sort of vulnerable, honest, and spoken-from-experience material that's earned him such a strong online following... and qualifies him to write a book like Lose Well. -- <strong>A/V Club</strong>
