Daily Afflictions: The Agony of Being Connected to Everything in the UniverseRevolutionizing the best selling genre, this thinking man's parody hijacks the format of daily affirmations but offers a different message: only in paradox, truth; only in darkness, light; only in affliction, affirmation.

Revolutionizing the best-selling genre, this thinking man's parody hijacks the format of daily affirmations but offers a different message: only in paradox, truth; only in darkness, light; only in affliction, affirmation. These "daily afflictions" offer readers inspiration, practical advice, and food for thought, as they navigate the jungle of existential terror that begins anew each day. We follow the fictional Brother Void on a spiritual journey, both profound and hilarious, into self, family, love, career, death--and, ultimately, Enlightenment. We learn to "listen to our inner critic," appreciate "the nurturing power of dysfunctional families," "love the wrong person," "succeed at failure," "embrace our inner corpse," and, finally, withstand the "agony of being connected to everything in the Universe." Part spiritual autobiography, part ironic meditation, this tragicomic guide to life's sublime predicaments will elevate and educate the spirit. The truth will set you free, Brother Void reminds us, but first it will hurt like hell.

Charlie was better
Color: Ivy Green
The zipper, which is why I bought it, doesn't work well, gets stuck and damages bills. I used a Charlie before, and although it was more compact, it fit more cards and was generally more convenient.

The best of the basics
Color: Ivy Green
Simple and on point. Minimalistic. One side for cash, folded in half. Other side 3 slots can comfortably fit 4 cards: ID / bank & or credit card / costco card. Any more than 4 gets a little harder to pull out. But dont worry, thats what the zipper pocket is for. Maybe just a few more tho, like health insurance cards. For just the basics.

Perfect for a minimalist
Color: Ivy Green
My husband had this exact wallet for 8 years. It was still functional and used daily. I got him this replacement and he was beyond excited. Said that it was his favorite Christmas gift lol. The durability and function of this minimalist wallet is unmatched. Love the color too!
