\nWhen was the last time you tried something new? Something that won\u2019t make you more productive, make you more money, or check anything off your to-do list? Odds are, not recently. As sucky surfer and all-around-imperfect human Karen Rinaldi explains in this eye-opening book, we live in a time of aspirational psychoses. We humblebrag about how hard we work and we prioritize productivity over play. But we\u2019re all being had. We\u2019re trapped in an epic and farcical quest for perfection, and it\u2019s making us more anxious and depressed than ever. <\/p>\n

This book provides the antidote. Inspired by Rinaldi\u2019s viral New York Times article, (It\u2019s Great to) Suck at Something reveals that the key to a richer, more fulfilling life is finding something to suck at. Drawing on her personal experience sucking at surfing (a sport she\u2019s dedicated nearly two decades of her life to doing without ever coming close to getting good at it) along with philosophy, literature, and the latest science, Rinaldi explores sucking as a lost art we must reclaim for our health and our sanity, and helps us find the way to our own riotous suck-ability. She draws from sources as diverse as Anthony Bourdain and surfing luminary Jaimal Yogis, Thich Nhat Hanh and Jean-Paul Sartre, among many others, and explains the marvelous things that happen to our mammalian brains when we try something new, all to discover what she\u2019s learned firsthand: it is great to suck at something. <\/p>\n

Coupling honest, hilarious storytelling with unexpected insights, (It\u2019s Great to) Suck at Something is an invitation to embrace our shortcomings as the very best of who we are and to open ourselves up to adventure, where we may not find what we thought we were looking for, but something way more important.<\/p>\n
