Description
David Stern is no ordinary cueball. He's a fully actualized bald man. Stern has gone through all five stages of grieving for his hair, and he's now in a better place. If you or someone you know wants to join him there, "The Balding Handbook" will provide you with a road map. "The Balding Handbook" takes you beyond those embarrassing denial moments (hats, combovers, plugs, pieces), keeps you out of jail during that angry second stage, helps you construct a perfect offer to God while you bargain for your hair back, comforts you through the depths of balding depression, and brings you into the light. Of course, you'll need sunscreen when you get there, but the few extra bucks you shell out to the Hawaiian Tropic® people is a trifle when you consider the incredible life that awaits you after reading this book. Whether you're a fellow sufferer, or just a mean person that wants to give this book as a gag gift to that baldy you know ("Tee hee, Get it? You're bald!")," The Balding Handbook" is for you.
About the author
Afflicted with male pattern baldness since his twenties, David Stern has become an advocate and spiritual advisor for balding men worldwide. He received his MBA (Master of Bald Advocacy) from F.U. in 1986. Stern recently applied to become a United States congressional lobbyist specializing in issues facing bald men. At the time this book was printed, he was still awaiting a response. Before dedicating his life to his balding brothers, David was a sales/marketing executive and co-owner of an advertising agency in Chicago. He still lives in the Windy City along with his wife Michelle and his three daughters.
