{"product_id":"2940170355341","title":"Self-Inflicted Wounds: Heartwarming Tales of Epic Humiliation","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eself-inflicted wound\u003c\/i\u003e (n): a spectacularly humiliating, and often hilarious, incident entirely of one's own making. \u003ci\u003esee also\u003c\/i\u003e: you did it to yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHave you ever made a decision you instantly regretted? Humiliated yourself in a room of your peers, or shamed yourself in front of your massive crush? Ever blown a job interview, frozen during a presentation, acted like a total idiot on a date? Ever said the wrong thing at the wrong time, unable to keep your tongue from flapping out the stupidest words you've ever said in your life, ever? If you are a human being, the answer, of course, is yes. Take heart. You're not alone. This is known as the self-inflicted wound, and every one of us bears a scar. Or several.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere, Aisha Tyler, comedian, actress, cohost of CBS's \u003ci\u003eThe Talk\u003c\/i\u003e, star of \u003ci\u003eArcher\u003c\/i\u003e, and creator of the top-ranked podcast \u003ci\u003eGirl on Guy\u003c\/i\u003e, serves up a spectacular collection of her own self-inflicted wounds. From almost setting herself on fire, to vomiting on a boy she liked, to getting drunk and sleeping through the SATs, to going into crushing debt to pay for college and then throwing away her degree to become a comedian, Aisha's life has been a series of spectacularly epic fails. And she's got the scars to prove it. Literally.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough it all, Aisha's triumphs haven't come in spite of the failures, but \u003ci\u003ebecause\u003c\/i\u003e of them. Because with every failure comes a lesson learned, a strength revealed, a fear overcome, or an adventure braved. \u003ci\u003eSelf-Inflicted Wounds\u003c\/i\u003e isn't just about surviving failure. It's about embracing failure amp;mdash; pursuing it, even amp;mdash; on the winding path to success. And after you've failed a time or three, hopefully you'll have learned something. Or at the very least have a really killer story. Because to err is human, but to fail epically is hilarious.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA HarperAudio production.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47104939491568,"sku":"2940170355341","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940170355341_p0.jpg?v=1763798194","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940170355341","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
