Failure Is Not NOT an Option : How the Chubby Gay Son of a Jesus-Obsessed Lesbian Found Love, Family, and Podcast Success . . . and a Bunch of Other Stuff

On paper, the chubby, poor, gay son of a lesbian who wrote pornographic letters to Jesus isn�_Tt the person that you think of when you hear the word �_osuccess.�__ Yet Patrick Hinds has somehow managed to bungle his way through to become the successful co-host of True Crime Obsessed - a podcast with more than 200 million downloads. Before that, though, he failed at many, many things. Patrick�_Ts life is a series of fiascos, missteps, and just plain bad ideas. An eternal optimist, he�_Ts always thrown himself into everything he�_Ts done, even when he probably shouldn�_Tt have. He devoted himself to becoming an actor even though he was terrible, started a daycare even though he hated kids, and somehow had a disastrous time with Bea Arthur . . . even though he couldn�_Tt be gayer. Both heartfelt and hilarious, Failure Is Not Not an Option lets Patrick�_Ts signature storytelling style shine - and it�_Ts also the only book to bravely and definitively declare:1: Failing simply means that you tried (and if you try enough, eventually success will be an option, too). 2: Ted Bundy is. Not. Hot. By trying, and yes, failing at so many things, Patrick finally found his way - to a great career, a great husband, and a great family. Along the way, there were hurdles to jump, unexpected surprises, and no shortage of laughter. Failure is Not NOT an Option is a fun and outrageous read that will raise you up - and provide a soft landing pad for the next time you fall.
