*New York Times bestseller*
Success is not easy...unless the road to it is full of failures, futile endeavors, abject failure, and abject failure - From the co-author of the New York Times bestseller “Marriage Is Hard”*. “I'm so glad Kev failed, because these stories will free so many people from the pursuit of perfection!” says Tabitha Brown, best-selling author of Feeding the Soul.Kevin Fredericks (aka KevOnStage) is a stand-up comedian, NAACP Image Award winner, founder of KevOnStage Studios, #New York Times bestselling author, and social media superstar.But his path to success wasn't always easy. As a child, Kevin noticed something helpful: If he made people laugh, the adults would let him stay up. In church plays, his commitment to the role of Goliath resulted in him suffering a cut lip, and the audience couldn't get enough of it. He dreamed of becoming an artist, and of finding that golden opportunity that would propel him into the spotlight of fame in the world of popular culture. But we soon discover that the road to the life we want is longer, stranger, more embarrassing, and more entertaining than we imagine.In his book Successful Failure*, the comedian tells funny stories and honest insights from his adventures (and misadventures) in his quest for success in life. From performing under a pseudonym to avoid getting fired from his official job, to breaking a chair on stage and quitting stand-up for six months, from defecating his pants on a bus next to his future wife to launching a clothing line called "Dreams Don't Die" (but they sure do if the merchandise doesn't sell), Kevin reminds readers that even though we may not be...Rock, Warren Buffett, or Kevin Hart, but we're all trying, and that's normal. The book "Successful Failure"
Extremely funny one moment, insightful the next, it's a wild ride from one of America's funniest comedians, and a satire of our ideals about the culture of toil and success.
