{"product_id":"9781637744253","title":"Failure Is Not NOT an Option : How the Chubby Gay Son of a Jesus-Obsessed Lesbian Found Love, Family, and Podcast  Success . . . and a Bunch of Other Stuff by Patrick Hinds","description":"On paper, the chubby, poor, gay son of a lesbian who wrote pornographic letters to Jesus isn?_Tt the person that you think of when you hear the word ?_osuccess.?__ Yet Patrick Hinds has somehow managed to bungle his way through to become the successful co-host of True Crime Obsessed - a podcast with more than 200 million downloads.   Before that, though, he failed at many, many things. Patrick?_Ts life is a series of fiascos, missteps, and just plain bad ideas. An eternal optimist, he?_Ts always thrown himself into everything he?_Ts done, even when he probably shouldn?_Tt have. He devoted himself to becoming an actor even though he was terrible, started a daycare even though he hated kids, and somehow had a disastrous time with Bea Arthur . . . even though he couldn?_Tt be gayer.   Both heartfelt and hilarious, Failure Is Not Not an Option lets Patrick?_Ts signature storytelling style shine - and it?_Ts also the only book to bravely and definitively declare:1: Failing simply means that you tried (and if you try enough, eventually success will be an option, too).   2: Ted Bundy is. Not. Hot.  By trying, and yes, failing at so many things, Patrick finally found his way - to a great career, a great husband, and a great family. Along the way, there were hurdles to jump, unexpected surprises, and no shortage of laughter. Failure is Not NOT an Option is a fun and outrageous read that will raise you up - and provide a soft landing pad for the next time you fall.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43204911005874,"sku":"9781637744253","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/products\/9781637744253.jpg?v=1705277152","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781637744253","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
