Overview

This is not a self-help book. It's a survival guide disguised as comedy. If life came with a blooper reel, Alex's would run longer than the movie. This Is My Life: Previously on ""Bad Decisions"" is the hilariously raw, unfiltered chronicle of one man's journey from the streets of Chicago to the fluorescent jungles of corporate America, from viral fame to burnout, and from rejection letters in Helvetica to rediscovering what actually matters. Told with equal parts satire, sincerity, and caffeine, this book is a love letter to the modern misfit - the dreamer, the overthinker, the exhausted professional who's just trying to make it to Friday without completely losing faith in humanity. From the early days of childhood chaos and questionable lemonade stands, through high school, minimum-wage jobs, and the corporate climb that promised ""growth opportunities"" but delivered only existential dread, Alex's story unfolds like a Netflix dramedy - one part heartbreak, two parts sarcasm, and a raccoon somewhere in the middle as the unexpected spirit animal of resilience. When he isn't dodging buzzwords or battling burnout, he's turning pain into punchlines. And somehow, through the noise of layoffs, rejections, and unpaid ""opportunities for exposure,"" he finds something bigger - connection. Humor becomes his lifeline. Hope becomes his compass. And chaos becomes his most loyal teacher. Across seventy-five chapters of misadventure, satire, and self-discovery, Alex peels back every layer of the modern working world - the absurd interviews, the ghosting recruiters, the broken ""we're like family here"" offices, the burnout disguised as loyalty, and the quiet moments in between where coffee and courage become the only things left. You'll laugh out loud at the absurdities that feel all too familiar: Recruiters who promise ""exciting opportunities"" that turn out to be in Nebraska. Corporate meetings that could've been emails - and sometimes aren't even necessary emails. The glorious chaos of realizing adulthood doesn't come with instructions, just invoices. The brutal comedy of ""fast-paced environments,"" ""competitive salaries,"" and ""passionate teams."" And the quiet, powerful realization that maybe purpose isn't something you find - it's something you remember. But beneath the satire lies something deeper: a heartfelt reflection on identity, burnout, belonging, and the beautiful mess of trying to live honestly in a world built on performance. This Is My Life: Previously on ""Bad Decisions"" is for anyone who's ever failed their five-year plan, anyone who's been ghosted by a recruiter and a dream in the same week, and anyone who still believes that laughter might just be humanity's greatest survival skill. Alex writes with the sharp wit of a comedian, the honesty of a friend, and the heart of someone who's learned every lesson the hard way. His stories will make you laugh until you recognize yourself - and maybe cry when you do. Because beneath every bad decision is the courage to try again. By the time the credits roll, one thing is clear: this isn't just a memoir. It's a mirror. It's a reminder that you don't have to have it figured out to be doing it right. That chaos doesn't mean failure - it means life is still happening. And that sometimes the best way to survive modern existence is to turn it into a story worth laughing about. Witty. Honest. Relatable. This Is My Life: Previously on ""Bad Decisions"" is a book for every legend still showing up, still trying, and still caffeinated enough to believe that maybe, just maybe, hope can be rewritten in Helvetica. Because in the end, no rejection, no burnout, and no ""urgent hiring opportunity"" can take away the one title that truly matters - the one no algorithm can automate: President of Vibes.
