Jon Gosselin: From Deadbeat Dad to Author

Jon Gosselin really screwed up his life. He thought he was going to be this hot shot superstar once he left his wife Kate Gosselin, but things didn't quiet work out that way. He basically shot himself in the foot and now he's trying to do anything to be relevant again.

The latest from Jon is that he has teamed up with life coach, Sylvia Lafair to pen a book on his journey from being a nobody to a reality TV dad (and to a nobody again).

“The book is about having eight kids all at once when he was under the age of 30,” Lafair tells Radaronline.

She adds, “It includes some of the lessons that Jon has been learning with helpful hints on how he is working to reframe his relationship with his family including his two brothers and his mother.

“He wants to find a way to speak for his generation in terms of getting married, divorced and raising kids and finding a better way to live his life.”

Jon started working with Lafair about a year ago, but really got serious about 5 months ago when he realized he might soon need to find a 9-5 job.
