Resisting The Challenges Of The 21St Century: How Much Extra Does No Cheese Cost?

So, how's that 21st century working out for you? Perhaps it seems like death by a thousand paper cuts. Oh, sure, we have all the big problems that have plagued Society since time began. Unfortunately, the number of small, seemingly insurmountable problems that keep cropping up in all parts of life seems to be multiplying. While taking Arms against a Sea of Troubles may sound like a promising idea, the probable result is less than ideal. Instead, this book will show you how to use a diverse set of tools to deal with the small challenges: humor, irony, poignancy, relevant context, common sense, and even old man memories of how we did it back in my day. Can't end any worse than that taking arms idea.
