Why the F Do I Need Life Insurance? by JB Michaels is a non-fiction guide for those who have either asked the titular question or haven't even given it the courtesy of thought. Michaels brings levity to the subject of planning for one of the few guarantees in life: death. The very real need to be covered for the inevitable is cushioned in a way the author initially was not...through hilariously terrifying stories of the recklessness of youth that include, but are in no way limited to, jumping from heights with little hope of emerging unscathed, wrestling matches that end in broken windshields, hurling himself downstairs before he could walk that leads to a similar plummet down a much larger scale of descent.

Ask me a week ago if a book on insurance might entertain me into seeing its importance, it is likely I'd have pushed you out of the way myself. Enter JB Michaels and Why the F Do I Need Life Insurance? The levity of the writing makes the topic palatable and is an effective means of balancing more serious, very real stories of loss. The types of insurance policies, their benefits, and the situations they would be best for are given an overview, as are the ways we might best be able to gauge and decide on the dollar amount of any given policy. Michaels concludes with a Quicksheet for a brief reference based on the stage of life one may be in. The guide is short and Michaels also includes excerpts of a bit of fiction he's written that are also quite good, and as entertaining as his non-fiction.
