If you should fail by Joe Moran

 Buy it from Bookshop.org and support local booksellers    


A fairly light-weight book which gives the sense that it believes it is more profound than it really is.


But there were a scattering of clever gobbits


“The radical therapist David Smail used the term ‘magical voluntarism’ to desire this fallacy that we can stop a dysfunctional world causing us distress purely through our own efforts. In magical voluntarism, the miserable must acclimatize themselves to the system that is making them miserable.” (p63) – this sounds a lot like masking?


“Most of life is admin. Young adults waste hulking portions of their lives looking for place to live … applying for and moving between jobs…’ etc (p126)
