Book Description:

A Self-Help Spoof for the Life Impaired

Right here in this book store, you can find hundreds of them — self-help books. They tell you how to improve your finances, lose weight, age gracefully, and influence people. But even after reading all those books, you’re still a mess. It can only mean one thing: maybe life’s just not that into you.

Once you open you mind to this possibility, you can quit beating yourself up. It’s all about attitude. It’s about the find art of whining. It’s about losing your shirt, but keeping your dignity. It’s about being dull and boring, but making it work for you. It’s about losing friends and influencing nobody. It’s about just saying no to dieting because, well, let’s be honest, carbs just taste good.

A hilarious, good-natured spoof on more that fifty self-help books, this book will leave you feeling better about who you are and laughing your way to becoming the person God created you to be.

Waste of my time and money by C. Evans
I was extremely disappointed. I did not find it funny enough to read more than about three chapters and that was a difficult effort. I cannot recommend it to anyone.

Don’t waste your money by Jill Jackson
I read the Amazon reviews before buying this book, so was expecting to find this book funny. This book is not the least bit funny–it is so not funny, it is even painful to read. The cover states that one of the authors wrote for Bob Hope. Do you know how long ago that must have been? I can’t fathom how anyone could have found this book funny. Making fun of self-help books is a good premise, but the jokes are so lame–real groaners. I never found Bob Hope that funny either. This book gets zero stars.

HA-HA by David Simms Davey S
I don’t think I read a single page of this book that didn’t make me burst out laughing. Some of the material aims a tad low, but a lot is fairly cerebral, too. And it’s high time someone did a send up of cloying self help books.

I think the book could’ve been a bit longer; I wanted to keep laughing. And I was disappointed they didn’t satirize any of Dr. Laura’s books. But, this thing was FUNNY. This is one of the best parodies around. It’s “Spinal Tap funny.”

Funny by A. Dario Lopez
Admit it… you read all those popular so-called self-help books and put their advices, exercises, recommendations, suggestions, plans, ideas, mantras, meditations, visualizations, affirmations, prayers to work only to find that none of that silliness works, and then you turned to this book and had a NECESSARY GOOD OL’ LAUGH!… I admit it.
