From the wildly popular Instagram account and USA Today bestselling book, the Disappointing Affirmations2026 Wall Calendar hilariously counters the culture of relentless toxic positivity with a realistic take on a disappointing world where month-to-month, week after week, day-by-day failure is always an option.Pairing lovely vacation photos taken by the author himself with sayings that are amusingly self-critical, encouraging, disillusioned, or all three at once, Dave Tarnowski points to feelings commonly unacknowledged or hidden and spotlights them with humor, wit, and empathy. You can do it! But you probably won’t.
