Inspiration Without Perspiration

Written for people who are tired of being told that anything is possible when they know that they're impossible, themselves, Inspiration Without Perspiration contains more than 2,500 jokes and one-liners that offers readers one way to not expect anything from life other than to just drag their tired selves from birth to death without any expectations along the wayside.

Willidau has forsaken dreams as possibilities, dewdrops as tears, love as a cure-all and hope for the hopeless to just deal with the realities of life without any pretty words telling him he can do better but never getting past the pep talk to actually help. Ken Willidau's philosophy is that he doesn't have one that will be of any use to you, either. Willidau deals with one thing at a time and hopes that, when it ends, the promises of life were chances upon to just make stumbling along in life the win he was a natural at without any guilt for not being inspired to look for them.

Chapters are strung along without purpose to be or not be a book to be inspiring to read. Among them, "A Star Isn't Born", "Greetings From the XOXOs", "Do Less, Screw Up Less", "Meet the Dirtlings", "Guns Kill People, Kindness Doesn't", and "Life Ends Before You Do", make the day any other day. The uninspiring day is spat out by a cynical joker of jokes using unenlightened dark humour, dim view wit, bitten tongue-in-cheek, and double entendres that could only mean one thing. Spending your day with Ken reminds you that you're going to die, in the end, and that all the rainbows in the world are only going to get you no pot to piss in and leave you only with the puddle of gold that's waiting for you there.

Inspiration Without Perspiration is a perfect read for those times when you don't need someone who has a knack at stringing pretty words together into nooses of pearls of wisdom around your neck that make you feel like a failure for being a realist and not being the dreamer they want you to be to no end. Dream on.
