F*ck. A lot.: Marriage advice for newlyweds & oldlyweds, from an author wholly unqualified to give it.

by Paul Hirsch

Overview

You've gotten marriage advice from the best. Now treat yourself to unqualified advice from some random, middle-aged Midwestern guy who has no business running his mouth on the subject.

"How unqualified," you ask?

I do not have a degree in psychology. I do not have a degree in therapy or counseling. I've never written an advice column. I've never participated in someone else's therapy. I've never participated in an intervention. Heck, I've never even been a camp counselor. I'm as unqualified as they come. Maybe that's exactly what you need. Maybe not. What do I know? I'm not qualified!

Yet, the more I throw around unsolicited advice, the more people seem to want to hear it. In that spirit, I've written this gift-book, a quick read that might just be the perfect thing to give a groom, or a bride, or a spouse, or your in-laws if you're feeling brave.

F*ck, A Lot began as an after-wedding brunch speech with a hangover. Subsequent prodding from the audience sparked an epic, four hour writing journey, lasting nearly as long as said hangover. This book is the product of that half-assed effort, and as a first-time author, I couldn't be more proud.

I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy pretending to be a therapist. Here's to a happy married life!

About the Author

Paul Hirsch is neither a writer nor a therapist, but he’s having a whole lot of fun impersonating both.

Paul was born and raised in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, a vibrant, artistic community in which he formed the strong, diverse friendships that shaped his perspectives on life. He spent seven-and-a-half years acquiring various degrees from the Kent State School of Journalism, not only delaying responsible adult life, but equipping him with the knowledge and tools to start his own Web design and development company, Studio1337.

Paul lived in various cities in Northeast Ohio, before spending a few years in Austin, Texas (one of his favorite places in the world), and Houston, Texas (one of the places in the world) for a few more, eventually making his way to his current home in Columbus, Ohio.

Paul is generally a lazy fellow. He does his best writing when he’s not really trying, which means, for better or for worse, he’s doing his best writing most of the time. He has authored guest columns for a handful of Web hosting and Web design trade publications, has taught design at two universities part-time, and has developed workshops and training for professionals in elearning and sales, all while co-owning and building his Web design studio.

Paul is married to Amy, his wife of almost 16 years and best friend since 1996. They are the loving parents of two very needy lap dogs, Max and Gizmo.
