Summary

"Social media star and comedian Josh Sundquist takes readers on his hilarious journey to the fringes of viral stardom to discover if it's possible to be both very famous and very happy"--

As a semi-famous internet creator, Sundquist knows what it is like to chase fame-- but he also knows that more fame usually means more stress. He set out on a pseudo-scientific investigation to find out if there is any way for fame and happiness to overlap. Digging into the numbers to debunk urban legends associated with stardom, he talks to other semi-famous people and asks them: Is this fame thing making you happy? If not, why are you doing it? If so, what's your secret? -- adapted from jacket.
