5.0 out of 5 stars I laughed myself silly, 5 Dec 2002
By pamelalee99 (Oxfordshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
honestly, this book did not change my life, but it made me laugh right out loud. my friend and i proceeded to read exerpts back and forth amidst gales of laughter. eventually we had a gathering around us, all of whom found immense humor in the book as well. you just have to buy it. it is full of fantastic bits of cynicism, that make you look at the real world just a little differently. the title says it all

5.0 out of 5 stars What every paranoid knows his therapist is REALLY thinking!, 15 Jun 2000
This review is from: You are Worthless: Depressing Nuggets of Wisdom Sure to Ruin Your Day (Paperback)
One of the funniest books I've read in ages - full of the kind of humour usually reserved for the back of the classroom, this will let you into the hitherto secret world of your therapist's darker side - the side you KNOW is really lurking just beneath the surface. In your more paranoid moments, the advice may even have a disturbing ring of truth about it. Gems such as - "When your boss tells you to do things at work, I bet afterwards he smiles to himself and says 'I can make people do things.'" - simply cannot go unquestioned....!

1.0 out of 5 stars Do not buy this please, 2 Jan 2005
By A Customer
I ordered this book thinking it would be a good laugh - however please do not waste your money - it is not in the least bit funny and it is a complete waste of time. I did not even bother sending it back or passing it on - I put it in the bin as I did not want to expose this rubbish to anyone else.
