Not sure if you want kids? Unsure if they would fit into your future plans? Then read this book! I was very entertained, as some of the things Brian had authored, I have actually thought and said aloud. Below are some highlights (there are many more, but that would mean typing of nearly the entire book):



We’re all told how wonderful babies are, what a “miracle” they are—as if any mammal can not perform the “feat” of reproduction.

The media uses kids to advertise products from home insurance to used cars. I don’t need an eight year old to tell me what insurance products to buy. A penguin is not going to steal your bike, you little bastard.



When you ask someone like me if we want kids and we say we don’t, that ought to be the end of it. You don’t pursue or press or probe. That’s my answer, my answer is my word and my word is final. You’ll just have to suck it up.



My desire to not have children will have zero negative impact on the world.



I am committed to my day job, to writing books, to travel, and to drinking beer and playing video games and having some peace and quiet when I’m reading. I am committed to taking afternoon naps on my day off.



Watching the little shit stagger and stumble like an old drunk, holding onto furniture for support and inevitably crying its eyes out and throwing a giddy fit when it falls down sounds like slow torture.



Creating another person would rob me of my tomorrows.



A three year old boy at the Cincinnati Zoo climbed into the gorilla pen and was seized by a large silverback. Fearful the ape’s rough play night injure or kill the boy, the park called in armed gamekeepers. Sadly, they missed and shot the gorilla. Gorillas are endangered, children are not. The gorilla’s name was Harambe; no one remembers the boys.



Dear Breeder, at the point I said I don’t want kids you had no right to be offended. None. I did not spit in your meal; I only told you I don’t want children. I didn’t say I didn’t want you to have children or that you shouldn’t have any. I said I won’t. That’s all. Stop for a moment as your blood pressure rises and ponder this question quietly: what on Earth gives you the right to be offended by my personal choices?



I am working towards semi retirement with freedom and financial stability...I’m working toward my dream life.
