Our pick for 12/31/24:
- “Here’s the truth of it: no one wants you to follow your dream. Best-case scenario, they’ll want you to follow their dream for you.”
- “You want the key to happiness? I’ll give it to you. Happiness is expectations exceeded. Happiness is the gap between what we thought might happen and what actually happened.”

“Before & Laughter” by Jimmy Carr
Because you might be interested in Jimmy’s life, and he’s sure you’re a lot more interested in your own, “Before & Laughter” is about both of you. But mainly him. It tells the story of Jimmy’s life – the transformation from white-collar corporate drone to fake-toothed donkey-laugh plastic-haired comedy mannequin – while also explaining how to turn your own life around and become the you you’ve always dreamt of being. At less than $20, it’s cheaper than Scientology, quicker than therapy, and significantly less boring than church. (Contains Explicit Language)
