Television icon and social media superstar Josh Peck makes his debut with this sharp and hilarious essay collection in which he reflects on the sometimes harsh realities of his past and offers lessons for finding the silver lining in most disastrous situations.

Josh Peck has been a working actor since he was 10 years old. By 14, he was the star of his own Nickelodeon show, the iconic Drake & Josh. By 21, he had lost 100 pounds, got sober, began making YouTube videos, and became a social media phenomenon. Today, Josh has over 22 million followers across platforms, a new television show streaming on Disney+, and a successful podcast. 

But Josh’s life wasn’t always this fulfilled or satisfying. He grew up without a dad. He spent his late teens looking for happiness in burgers and pain pills. He genuinely thought he would be the “funny, fat kid” for the rest of his life, chasing a joy he saw in other people but could never find for himself. Now at 33, Josh knows a thing or two about happiness and our seemingly endless pursuit of it. 

Happy People Are Annoying is Josh’s hilarious, counterintuitive advice on a wide range of topics, from self-esteem and food to the internet, and family dynamics to lying and the pursuit of “happiness,” including:

You are the fish you are trying to catch!No one knows what they want!There are no experts of the future!Self can''t fix self!Let people hurt your feelings!

Funny, honest, self-deprecating, and wise—a Mark Manson for the next generation—Josh offers heartfelt advice for young people searching to find their place at home, work, and in relationships, who are coming to realize that adult life isn''t necessarily “all that”—but as he shows, can be so much more.

Quantum physics from a biblical perspective: Is there a way for science and religion to complement one another? Does quantum physics have any place in the Bible? Do biblical interpretations have any use in explaining scientific observations? Is quantum physics unknowable to religious minds? Must a scientific mind also be void of religion? Is there an unseen world that exists all around us? Do things like strings, branes, multiple dimensions, parallel universes, time warps, quantum entanglement, and extradimensional beings have any place in biblical descriptions of God’s creation? These questions and more are addressed in Quantum Creation. For the first time ever, the study of quantum physics is made available to the religious mind while explaining theological implications. Even better yet, the information is presented in a way anybody can understand. Learn just how perfectly compatible science and religion can be and why it seems they are always at odds.
