Elite Daily managing editor Greg Dybec worries about rent, sex, love, family, and—the most millennial topic of them all—a desire to leave a legacy. In The Art of Living Other People’s Lives, Greg delivers a funny, brash, and insightful collection of twenty never-before-published stories on becoming a pick-up artist to get over an ex-girlfriend, late-night adventures with his Uber driver, having a Twitter-induced panic attack, picking up a gig writing about men’s underwear, and more.

Greg’s writing is all at once candid, honest, and unapologetic, and his hilariously neurotic and self-analytical journey will strike a chord with anyone struggling to balance their IRL selves with their virtual ones.

Humorous and candid. Greg’s collection of twenty funny essays is a cross between Let’s Pretend This Never Happened, I Was Told There’d Be Cake, and Adulting. Whether Greg is having a Twitter-induced panic attack, pestering Mark Cuban for life advice, or relentlessly eavesdropping on strangers, his neurotic and (perhaps overly) self-analytical journey will strike a chord with Elite Daily readers and the millions of millennials beyond who are struggling to balance their IRL selves with their virtual ones.
A promotable author. Greg’s writing has appeared on Elite Daily, Vice, Thought Catalog, Business Insider, Google Play, and The Good Men Project, among others. His nonfiction e-Book, On Witnessing a Murder in South Africa, was published by Thought Catalog Books in 2013 and has since been produced as an audio book through Audible. In the posts he’s written for Elite Daily, Greg has generated over 1.4M reads and 134K shares across social media.
