The wait is finally over. STILL Way Worse Than Being a Dentist: (the Sequel) is finally here! The ebook came out today – paperback should be available within another week or two.
==========
Please check out The People’s Therapist’s legendary best-seller about the sad state of the legal profession: Way Worse Than Being a Dentist: The Lawyer’s Quest for Meaning
And now there’s a new Sequel: Still Way Worse Than Being a Dentist: (The Sequel)
My first book is an unusual (and useful) introduction to the concepts underlying psychotherapy:Life is a Brief Opportunity for Joy
I’ve also written a comic novel about a psychotherapist who falls
in love with a blue alien from outer space. I guarantee pure reading pleasure: Bad Therapist: A Romance
For your next sequel, you should include the following on the back cover: “No student loans were harmed in the making of this book.”
Have you ever talked to someone who was planning on entering law school about this? I did, and it didn’t go well.
I was dating a woman and things seemed to be going well. (I am early thirties, and she is late twenties.) She told me that she was planning on going to law school and had bought some LSAT books. I told her about the 50% employment rate, long hours and stress for the “lucky” ones who get a job, and high student debt. I even mentioned your book. Next thing I know, I get an email from her telling me that just because law school doesn’t work out for many people doesn’t mean that no one should go to law school and she doesn’t want to see me anymore!
On one hand, maybe she is a whackjob. On the other hand, maybe it is a bad idea to, in essence, destroy someone’s dream.
I do feel I did the right thing because I know I would have felt bad if she went through with it (which it seems she is intent on doing), it turned out badly, and I hadn’t told her what I knew. (I actually know, personally, a recent graduate who told me that she had $120,000.00 in debt, started her own practice, and discovered there is very little demand for legal services. She was literally in tears.)
