“I Am Crazy… And You Are, too!” – A Raw, No-Nonsense Book Serves as a Wake-Up Call for a World That’s Lost Its Mind

Author David Schecter Challenges Readers to Stop Faking It and Start Thinking

Let’s get something out of the way: if you’re looking for a warm, fuzzy self-help book that tells you to take deep breaths and repeat mantras in the mirror — this isn’t it.

I Am Crazy… And You Are, too! is a brutally honest, laugh-out-loud, jaw-droppingly real punch to the mental gut. Author David Schecter doesn't just nudge you toward self-reflection — he kicks the door down, throws your comfort zone out the window, and asks one thing:

Are you done pretending yet?

This book isn’t about being polite. It’s about being real. It’s for people who are sick of nonsense — the kind that shows up in fake friendships, people-pleasing behavior, social media masks, toxic relationships, and watered-down truths. David doesn’t just dissect what’s wrong — he shows you how to live better: with clarity, purpose, and unapologetic self-respect.

And no, it’s not religious. It’s not political. It’s not New Age.

It’s just real.

Schecter writes like a man who’s been through the fire and came out with his eyebrows singed but his soul intact. The reflections in this book aren’t rehearsed, polished, or filtered. They’re carved out of pain, solitude, laughter, and an unshakable belief in personal truth.

What the Book Does (and Doesn’t Do)

You won’t find chapters here about “positive affirmations” or “vibration levels.” You will find:

The beauty of solitude — and why it beats chaos every time

How to spot (and drop) people who drain your energy

Why pain is the best teacher you never asked for

A takedown of groupthink, people-pleasing, and emotional manipulation

How to build your life back from rock bottom with nothing but logic, guts, and grit

Schecter’s writing hits hard because it’s not sugar-coated. Every page reads like a brutally honest letter from someone who finally decided to stop lying to themselves — and wants you to do the same.

About the Author: David Schecter

David Schecter has worn more hats than most people own socks. With a BSBA in Marketing and an MBA from the University of Denver, he built a successful corporate career with over five years of experience in market research, development, and forecasting across industries as diverse as mining, oil, lumber, shipping, and consumer goods.

But boardrooms were just one chapter. David’s life includes real estate development (residential and industrial), ownership of several small businesses — including a country bar and car washes — and creative projects like cookbooks and calendars. He’s served on nonprofit boards, worked on multi-million-dollar real estate projects, and actively participated in church councils.

He’s also a single father who spent years coaching his sons’ sports teams, prioritizing family over everything else. Oh, and did we mention he plays piano and sings in public?

But what truly sets David apart isn’t his résumé — it’s his mindset. He’s seen success. He’s faced failure. And both have shaped his deep skepticism of conformity and the systems that pressure people to act “normal.” In I Am Crazy… And You Are, too!, he invites readers to reject performative living and embrace the power of authenticity. No filters. No fake smiles. Just raw truth, lived out loud.

Why This Book Matters Now

We’re living in an age where attention is currency and validation is an addiction. Everyone’s trying to fit in — and in the process, we’re losing who we are.

David Schecter isn’t having it.

This book is a permission slip to stop pretending, cut the noise, and reclaim your voice. Whether you’re lost, burnt out, fed up, or just tired of editing yourself to make others comfortable — I Am Crazy… And You Are, too! might just be the most honest thing you’ll read this year.

No fluff. No gurus. Just one man telling the truth.

And maybe, just maybe, reminding you that you’re not the crazy one after all.
