Be inspired by the book behind Dr. Rick Rigsby’s viral graduation speech. After his wife died, Rick Rigsby was ready to give up. The bare minimum was good enough. Rigsby was content to go through the motions, living out his life as a shell of himself. But then he remembered the lessons his father taught him years before— incredibly simple, yet incredibly profound. These lessons weren’t about advanced mathematics or the secrets of the stock market. They were quite straightforward, in fact, as Rigsby’s father never made it through third grade. But if this man’s instructions were powerful enough to inspire one of his children to earn a Ph.D. and another to become a judge—imagine what they can do for you. While Rick Rigsby’s father was a third-grade dropout, he was a man who never hid behind any excuse. A man who never allowed his problems or lack of a formal education to determine his present or affect his future. A man who realized that destiny was a choice and not a chance. In Lessons from a Third Grade Dropout, Rigsby shares the simple lessons from his father that will transform your mindset, including: Remain true to yourself Think the best at all times Give your best regardless of the circumstances Keep standing no matter what Join Rigsby as he dusts off time-tested beliefs and shares his father’s impactful, far-reaching story—of how a life can be enhanced, of how a corporate culture can be changed, of how a family can be united—by living the simple lessons of a third-grade dropout.

Gathered together for the first time, a gourmet selection of the most read, most shared, and most insulted columns by the Bengal tiger Lucano Divina! After escaping from the Acheron Zoo, Lucano has been involved in the struggle against the imperialism of human stupidity, touching a range of subjects such as: the worst advice for a broken heart, you don’t know what you got until someone else enjoys it, love gets better with damage, profession is the oldest prostitution in the world, and twenty-one things you shouldn’t do to forget your ex, among other irrational truths. Thanks to his writings that strip the self-denominated most intelligent species on the planet, he has shown himself worthy of five death threats that would turn him into a rug, at least ten emails after each publication that seek to drive him mad with offenses, more than two-hundred thousand followers on social media, nineteen marriage proposals, and a previous book (Prince Charming Opens Doors, the Buffoon Opens Legs) that continues to enjoy sales success. Livin’ la Vida Boba not only compiles the highest peaks of the aforementioned struggle—from September 3, 2007 to December 31, 2015—but also frames them in a new human life cycle: you are born, you grow up, you try to reproduce, you get cheated on, you reproduce (with another partner), and you die.
