Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
At some point in nearly every marriage, a wife finds herself asking, What the @#!% is wrong with my husband?! In David Finchs case, this turns out to be an apt question. Five years after he married Kristen, the love of his life, they learn that he has Asperger syndrome. The diagnosis explains Davids evergrowing list of quirks and compulsions, his lifelong propensity to quack and otherwise melt down in social exchanges, and his clinicalstrength inflexibility. But it doesnt make him any easier to live with.Determined to change, David sets out to understand Asperger syndrome and learn to be a better husband no easy task for a guy whose inability to express himself rivals his twoyearold daughters, who thinks his responsibility for laundry extends no further than throwing things in (or at) the hamper, and whose autismspectrum condition makes seeing his wifes point of view a near impossibility.Nevertheless, David devotes himself to improving his marriage with an endearing yet hilarious zeal that involves excessive notetaking, performance reviews, and most of all, the Journal of Best Practices: a collection of hundreds of maxims and hardwon epiphanies that result from selfreflection both comic and painful. They include Dont change the radio station when shes singing along, Apologies do not count when you shout them, and Be her friend, first and always. Guided by the Journal of Best Practices, David transforms himself over the course of two years from the worlds most trying husband to the husband who tries the hardest, the husband hed always meant to be.Filled with humor and surprising wisdom, The Journal of Best Practices is a candid story of ruthless selfimprovement, a unique window into living with an autismspectrum condition, and proof that a true heart can conquer all.
