Product Description
Product Description
The law of averages would suggest that at some point in your life someone has referred to you as "that idiot". The blast of negativity in this book hits hard with chapters such as "Your Good-for-nothing Friends", "Your Miserable Job" and "Life: What's the Use?"

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

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....!

Wow. it's depressing.
A perfect addition to the bookshelf of any self help enthusiast.
Once you get used to the grinding pessimism and psychological damage being inflicted, it gets funny.

A parody of self help. An ideal gift.
