About the book: Profane, honest, and totally real advice from comedian and
director Kevin Smith - one of America's most original voices
Take one look at Kevin Smith: He's a balding fatty who wears a size XXL
hockey jersey, shorts, and slippers year-round. Not a likely source for life
advice. But take a second look at Kevin Smith: He changed filmmaking forever
when he was twenty-four with the release of Clerks, and since then has gone on
to make nine more profitable movies, runs his own production company, wrote a
bestselling graphic novel, and has a beautiful wife and kids. So he must be
doing something right.
As Kevin's millions of Twitter followers and millions of podcast
listeners know, he's the first one to admit his flaws and the last one to care
about them. In early 2011, he began using his platform to answer big questions
from fans-like "What should I do with my life?"- and he discovered
that he had a lot to say. Tough Sh*t distills his four decades of breaking all
the rules down to direct and brutally honest advice, including:
Why he has accepted Ferris Bueller as his personal savior, and what the
Tenets of Buellerism can teach about hiding in plain sight and lip-syncing in
the face of danger
Why it's really fun to eat but not so fun to be fat
What to do about people who don't like your policies ( for starters,
tell them to pucker up and smooch your big ol' butt)
What Kevin's idol Wayne Gretzky can teach us about creativity and
direction
For anyone who's out of a job, out of luck, or just out of sugary snack
foods, Tough Sh*t is an unabashedly honest guide to getting the most out of
doing the least.
