Carpe Diem: If There's No God, I'm F--ked is not a polite self-help book. It is a loud conversation about honesty, faith, addiction, fear, pride, love, and the weird comedy of being human. It is what happens when someone stops pretending and starts telling the truth about how life and recovery actually feel. David Hite takes you from a cafeteria floor covered in humiliation to a life built on brutal honesty and gentle faith.

The Bronx-born son of a Jewish bootlegger, "Joey the Hit Man" was introduced to crime when he was just eleven years old.

But Joey really made his name as a Mafia assassin, racking up thirty-eight cold-blooded hits-thirty-five for cash, three for revenge.
