Synopsis

Are you exhausted by excuses? You're not alone.

You Are NOT Excused is the sharp, funny, and refreshingly honest essay collection that tackles everything wrong with modern American culture and dares to suggest we can do better.

What happens when a society stops expecting anything from itself?

In more than thirty bite-sized essays organized across four sections -- culture, etiquette, work ethic, and politics -- Gen X author SuzAnne Driscoll delivers the kind of commonsense commentary that cuts through social media noise and hits its target every time. No rage. No lectures. No participation trophies.

Inside this book you will find (among other things):

• A sharp look at victimhood culture, identity politics, and the two words she wants erased from the vocabulary entirely;
• A masterclass in modern etiquette featuring airports, hotel laundromats, and very loud car stereos;
• Lessons on work ethic drawn from Ferris Bueller, Olive Garden, and a landscaper who almost tanked a million-dollar home sale;
• A calm, witty take on free speech, free lunches, and what free really costs; and
• An honest conversation about privilege, politics, and what it actually means to be American.

Perfect for readers who enjoy social commentary with a sense of humor.

Driscoll writes the way your smartest, funniest friend talks: direct, self-aware, occasionally fired up, and always willing to turn the same critical eye on herself that she turns on the culture around her. These essays are short enough to read on a lunch break and substantial enough to spark a real conversation. Fans of Dave Barry and Erma Bombeck will feel right at home here.

If you are done with the noise and ready for someone to just say it plainly, here are your basic instructions for using this product:

1. Open the book and read an essay.
2. Nod vigorously.
3. Repeat.
