The Art of Rejection Dan Schmieding

If you don't laugh at life's inconsistencies and the resulting failures you could end up depressed or, worse, a political pundit. Let this book of original cartoons and short, humorous essays keep you smiling at the carnage. Most of us make the mistake, of seeking out a successful expert to adjust our feelings of inadequacy and powerlessness. But what we really need is someone fully engaged in the battle at the level of those who receive the rejection, failure, and disapproval on a regular basis. Take it from a cartoonist who is emotionally thriving in his near hopeless search for success and acceptance. Contained in this book are over a hundred original cartoons and stories that can help establish the proper upbeat perspective toward the approaching downfall of humanity to technology, torn asunder relationships, and reality TV. The key to overcoming feelings of unsuccessfulness and defeat is in knowing there are millions of others who are bailing from the sinking boat right along with you. They are all around. Some are cartoonists.
