“It’s like a book version of online therapy.”—Brian Boone, Vulture

Two comedians offer hilarious encouragement for your most mundane struggles.

Anybody can tell you “You can do it!” before the big job interview, or before you walk down the aisle, or before you blast off on the first human-powered mission to Mars. But who’s going to gas you up for all of life’s low-stakes situations when you need an extra push?

Comedians Paula Skaggs and Josh Linden are here to cheerlead you through your daily challenges with more than 75 pep talks. You’ll find specific, constructive, and—most of all—very funny motivation for:

• Sending a scary email (if you died and came back as a ghost, wouldn't it suck if this was your unfinished business?)
• Getting through a breakup (did you know the grocery store will sell you a cake on any day for any reason?)
• Remembering that all your friends are not secretly mad at you (they're busy worrying all their friends are secretly mad at them)
• ...and many more!

If you’re going through it, have ever gone through it, or will maybe go through it in the future, let Tiny Pep Talks give you the boost you need.
