For me, it’s not F’ing History, but it is still great. Solid, entertaining, brutally direct (in the best way possible) advice.

Reading this book was a joy. A self-improvement book for normal people. Easy to read, broken into short chapters and filled with The Captain's lifelong tidbits on dealing with a variety of issues.

Focus on improving your life in whatever aspects are within your control; doing so will make the uncontrollable shit feel a hell of a lot more bearable.

I particularly liked this comment about social media.

We fall for the illusion of their perfection —instead of remembering the fact that we’re all disgustingly human.

It's very lighthearted in places, and then it'll smack you upside the head with some brutal truth.

Our pets allow us to be our most authentic selves. They make us better because they show us who we are when we’re not guarded, fake, or concerned with our reputation. Pets make us pure and honest.

This book would make an excellent coffee table book, a housewarming gift, or the perfect bathroom book.
