Life doesn't come with an instruction manual. But if it did, it would probably be missing half the pages and printed in Comic Sans. In Lower Your Expectations (and Other Life Skills), Katie Simpson delivers a brutally honest, laugh-out-loud look at life's everyday chaos-from grocery store drama and social media oversharing to diets that don't work and marriages that thrive on frozen yogurt disasters. With sharp wit and unapologetic sarcasm, she shows readers that perfection isn't the point-survival (with humor intact) is. Inside, you'll find rants, reflections, and real-life stories about: ¿Why saying "no" is the ultimate act of freedom ¿How customer service calls become Olympic-level tests of patience ¿Why the laundry pile has already outlived us all ¿The scams we fall for in the name of "fixing" ourselves ¿Menopause, marriage, tacos, and other surprising survival skills This isn't a self-help book-it's a self-preservation book. A reminder that lowering your expectations isn't giving up; it's choosing sanity over stress, laughter over frustration, and reality over the impossible standards we've been sold. If you've ever rolled your eyes at bad drivers, cursed at missing remotes, or muttered "don't be that person" under your breath, this book is for you. It's part rant, part survival guide, and all comedy-with enough truth woven in to make you feel a little less alone in the chaos. Lower Your Expectations (and Other Life Skills) proves that sometimes the secret to a lighter life isn't in striving for more-it's in learning to laugh at what already is.
