If It Wasn't For People, I Might Like It Here: How to Tolerate Humanity Long Enough to Accidentally Love It

By Robert Allan Young

Ever felt like you're the last sane person on Earth? You're not alone. (But sometimes, you wish you were.)

Have you ever dreamed of escaping to a cabin in the woods... as long as it has a steady Wi-Fi signal and zero small talk?

Have you ever sat through a meeting that absolutely could have been an email? Silently fumed at the person in the coffee line staring at the menu like it's written in hieroglyphics? Or stared at an "Unknown Number" until it stopped ringing, feeling a wave of profound relief?

If you're nodding along, you've definitely come to the right place.

"If It Wasn't For People, I Might Like It Here" is your hilarious and painfully accurate survival manual for the modern world. It’s a candid field guide to the sociological wreckage of daily life, bravely navigating the absurdities that make us want to pull our hair out, including:

• The Workplace: A magical land where "we're a family" is a threat and you're forced to "circle back" on a problem one person could have solved in ten minutes.
• Social Media: A digital hellscape of "Performative Concern", algorithms that just want you to be angry, and "Personal Brands" so curated they've never seen a handful of Froot Loops eaten over the sink at 2 AM.
• Modern Romance: A digital meat market of 40-year-old profile pictures, fish photos, and the quiet cruelty of the "digital ghost".
• Customer Service: The frontlines of civilization's collapse, built on the sacred lie of "Your call is important to us" and the cult-like worship of "Free Shipping".

But this isn't just a 90-page rant. (Okay, it's a little bit of a rant, but a good one!)

Woven through the sarcasm is a sharp, funny, and surprisingly heartfelt search for the antidote. It’s a look at why we build pedestals for celebrities just to get a better view of the woodchipper, how our "Natural Stupidity" is actually the source of our greatest gifts, and why the real heroes aren't the ones on pedestals—they're the teachers, nurses, and friends who just show up.

This is a book for anyone who has ever felt like the last sane person on Earth... only to realize, with dawning horror, that we are all part of the problem.

It’s a reminder that the chaos isn't the obstacle to life; the chaos is life. And thank God we're all in this beautiful, ridiculous, infuriating mess together.

This is the perfect gift for anyone who needs a good laugh and a fresh perspective on the wonderfully frustrating world we share. Don't miss out on what's sure to be a holiday bestseller!
