Non-Fiction Memoir
The warm and hilarious bestselling memoir by a man diagnosed
with Asperger syndrome who sets out to save his marriage
At some point in nearly every marriage, a wife finds
herself asking, What the @#!% is wrong with my husband?! In
David Finch’s 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 David’s ever-growing list of quirks and
compulsions, but it doesn’t make him any easier to live
with. Determined to change, David sets out to
understand Asperger syndrome and learn to be a better
husband with an endearing yet hilarious zeal. His methods
for improving his marriage involve excessive note-taking,
performance reviews, and most of all, the Journal of Best
Practices: a collection of hundreds of maxims and hard-won
epiphanies, including “Don’t change the radio station when
she’s singing along” and “Apologies do not count when you
shout them.” Over the course of two years, David transforms
himself from the world’s most trying husband to the husband
who tries the hardest. He becomes the husband he’d always
meant to be. Filled with humor and surprising wisdom,
The Journal of Best Practices is a candid story of
ruthless self-improvement, a unique window into living with
an autism spectrum condition, and proof that a true heart
can conquer all.
