Laugh at my life before I laugh at yours

synopsis

I while after working as an electronic engineer and later as a marketing manager for many different companies and banks I decided to open my own business and ever since I’ve become an autonomous on the gas station segment. These series of employments are filled with a troubled and captivating love story, which resulted on my first book being its main theme. Having initially published 5,000 copies through an independent publishing company, at this time, the book is on its 13th edition and in less than 2 years of its release it has sold 100,000 copies already.

Presentation of the book

The first thing people ask about this book is how does anyone write a book about their life at the age of 27. Simple: I did it for you. If I had waited to get older to decide weather I was gonna write or not, you’d have gotten older too and probably would’ve much rather write about your own than read mine, but with the aggravating possibility of having made the same mistakes I did. Make good use of it, because you still have time! Be smarter! Read it….get emotional, cry, and laugh at me before you end up having to write… after so many laughing at you….

About this picture, I’d like to say: yes I have teeth. To be honest, it was taken by someone who showed up from out of the blue, 9 years ago and forced me to buy it! I was chewing a lettuce leaf and couldn’t smile with my mouth full. So it came out like this. For about 9 years I didn’t know the utility of this picture. One time someone told me that that in this life nothing happens by chance and that the picture was taken to be used here. You think? If it was to be this way, then why don’t we lay on a hammock and drink juice while we wait for our destiny? Maybe because deep inside we know that we should fight for all we dream of. Thus, instead of vegetating, I decided to write this book and try with my experiences help you to suffer less in love, at work and who knows perhaps turn you aside from the people who will let you down.

Have fun, laugh, but when the same things that almost drove me insane happen to you, stop laughing and use them to your advantage. I wrote about my ‘falls’ and ‘slips’ so you don’t have to suffer. Knowing my faults (to the point you laugh at it) you certainly won’t allow it to happen to you. That is my justification for the book’s title.

Back cover

Learn to get rid of your problems in the best possible way: laughing! If you've even been cheated on, wanted to "self desintegrate" of shame in embarassing situations or ever been discarded like an old piece of cloth, wanted to jump out of the car and leave it out there stuck in middle of a traffic jam and walk all the way home, if you did everything you could to get fired and by no means they would fire you... this is your book! If you have ever been humiliated or despised by friends, boss, mothers-in-law, girlfriends and wanna take home a few tips to survive in the sentimental world, you've just found a "manual" filled with funny theories. How much happier I would have been if I had read my own book a few years ago... I will not say a word in addition not to spoil the surprise.... but I bet you're gonna like it... a lot...
