You're Good Enough, You're Smart Enough, and Doggone It, People Like You!

I wrote the other review -- but then I listened to the clip and I realize that this even though this audiobook has the same name as the book-book Al Franken wrote, the audiobook is a completely different product.

I love the book-book, and the movie, and this audiobook is more like "an hour with Stuart Smalley" -- and from the clip you can tell that it is very very funny!

Very funny product. The audiobook features Franken as his Stuart Smalley character in the recording studio trying to do the audiobook version of his Stuart Smalley book. What makes it quite amusing is that this is being done in "one take" and Stuart can't seem to get it right. The first 30 minutes are golden, but the tape does drag at the end (the one joke concept does hit its limit). Overall its very enjoyable, even if you're not a fan of Franken's political ideology.

I laughed my head off. And made the mistake of trying to listen to a meditation audiobook later on. I could not stop laughing. Franken has hit the nail on the head here.

For those who don't like his politics... forget that stuff, this is just a good time with his Stuart Smalley character. I liked how he worked the audio presentation into the presentation. It wasn't just Franken reading from his book.

Yes, but not something you want to listen too for more than a few minutes at a time, its get a little old quickly.

Yes, most of his other books are very funny and actually have facts and information

Funny, Intelligent, Satire

Laugh

I suppose you have to like this humor but if you do, you'll laugh continuously. Al Franken's spoof on the self-help industry is priceless. I can listen to it over and over again.

Not only is this great comedy, but it was designed with the conceits of the audiobook listener in mind. You MUST play this in the car, while you're driving, for full impact of the punchline. I just love it, I love Stuart Smalley, and I love Al Franken. I'm so mad he's in the Senate now and can't do a sequel!

If you enjoy listening to the audio books in the Self Development section in Audible, you will love this spoof of the topic by Al Franken. I also recommend the movie "Stuart Saves His Family." I actually purchased the CD when it first came out over ten years ago. I lost my copy and found it was no longer in print. I am very happy that Audible brought it back. Very funny and definitely worth the money.

If you like Will & Grace you will love this audio. Envision "Jack" reading a guided visualization. It is truly amusing. I had never heard of this author, but am glad I got to hear this. It was a great pick-me-up for a rainy afternoon. If you are looking for a series of serious, relaxing visualizations, this is not the tape you want. If you are into relaxation tapes and are ready for an amusing break from routine, grab this one up!!

The concept of this book promises to be funny but the real thing isn't. I have listened hundreds of audiobooks and this is one of the worst.

Throughout the book, Franken keeps telling how poor of a job he has done and how he is wasting your money. That sums it up quite nicely. There are better books for the money.

not even remotely funny. waste of money.
