Big Problems: A Former Fat Guy’s Look At Why We’re Getting Fatter And What You Can Do To Fix It
A smart, funny dive into the weight-loss industry, from a journalist on a quest to master healthy living.
I’ve struggled with my weight all my life. But it wasn’t until one fateful pants-splitting incident that I realized I really ought to make some changes. As I fumbled through my weight-loss journey, I learned the hard way that there’s a difference between real, effective methods and the crap that big businesses are trying to sell you.
Using a journalistic lens, I explore the reasons why we’ve gotten fat in the first place as well as real ways to lose those extra pounds. Through interviews with health experts, doctors, runners, bodybuilders and more, I unpack the truths hidden beneath the hype.
While I am by no means an expert, my hands-on experience and insightful research cuts through the bullshit and hopefully gives it to you straight. This useful book will have you lacing up your workout shoes and saying “no” to that second slice of pizza. (Well, maybe sometimes…)
Order it today! I even did the audiobook for it, isn’t that cool?
Here are some nice things folks have said about the book:
“Andy Boyle strikes again! Big Problems is funny and accessible and ultimately inspiring.”
–Michael Kruse, Senior Staff Writer for POLITICO and POLITICO Magazine
“Self-help books can be a drag — that’s why Andy’s book is so refreshing. The prose is crisp, fresh and funny, devoid of pretension and judgment. The encouraging and funny tone is a welcome counterpoint to similar guides that may leave us feeling failure rather than realizing our own strengths.” — John Wenz, science journalist and author of The Lost Planets
“The Cliff’s Notes on exercise, food, and health that will make you laugh out loud.” — Matt Wynn, investigative reporter at USA Today
Do You Like Jokes and Life Advice?
Then you should buy my first book, Adulthood for Beginners.
My first book with TarcherPerigee/Penguin Random House, it's the funny life survival guide you didn't know you needed. It features advice on dating, friendships, jobs, happiness and generally not looking like a dumbass.
Basically, I was an idiot so you don't have to be.
Released in 2017, the honest and good-natured advice in this genuinely helpful book will help any newly minted adult get through the hard parts faster, guaranteed. (Note: sorry, not literally guaranteed.)
Perfect for anyone who’s ready to graduate into adulthood, or at least out of their mom’s basement.
Order it today! I did the audiobook for this one, too.
Here’s what some folks have said about it:
“Darn funny…an advice book aimed at young people that might just do them some good while providing a laugh or two.” — Associated Press
“Boyle’s book is hard to put down and full of solid advice. It’s the perfect gift for a high school or college graduate.” — Library Journal
“A hilarious guide to help young workers not be idiots….a guide to being an adult in the modern age.” — Chicago Tribune
“It's less like a hyper, rah-rah life coach and more like a pal offering you a few quiet tips over pizza — which probably makes it more likely to appeal to its target demo, twentysomethings still unsure about just how to be a grownup.” — Tampa Bay Times
