Missing Manual

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
Success Is a Rigged Game—Here’s How to Cheat
They told you to work hard, follow the rules, and wait your turn. That’s adorable. Also, total bullshit.
This book is the missing manual for life—the stuff they should’ve taught you but didn’t. Like why the smartest people don’t always win, why “just be yourself” is terrible advice, and why saying “no” is a power move, not a personality flaw.
If you’re ready to stop clapping for other people’s success and start making your own, this book is for you. Warning: once you know this shit, you can’t unknow it.
