Story
From breakout stand-up comedian Iliza Shlesinger comes a subversively funny collection of essays and observations on a confident woman's approach to friendship, singlehood, and relationships. "Girl Logic" is Iliza's term for the way women obsess over details and situations that men don't necessarily even notice. She describes it as a characteristically female way of thinking that appears to be contradictory and circuitous but is actually a complicated and highly evolved way of looking at the world.

Tom Segura is known for his twisted takes and irreverent comedic voice. But after a few years of crazy tours and churning out podcasts weekly, all while parenting two young children, he desperately needs a second to himself. It’s not that he hates his friends and family — he’s not a monster — he’s just beat, which is why his son’s (ruthless) first full sentence, “I’d like to play alone, please,” has since become his mantra.

Throughout the book, Shlesinger dives from one subject into the next, making her hilarious asides the basis of her stories, much like she does in her stand-up comedy. Topics range from dissecting social expectations to the notion that products marketed specifically to women are scams, and all manner of things in between.

Bert Kreischer doesn't know how to say "no." If he did, he wouldn't have gotten himself mixed up with a group of Russian mobsters on a class trip to Moscow, earning him his nickname: "The Machine." He wouldn't have wrestled with a bear or swum with sharks on national television. He wouldn't have (possibly) smoked PCP with a star of Saturday Night Live. And he wouldn't have been named the Number One Partier in the Nation by Rolling Stone, inspired the movie National Lampoon's Van Wilder, or performed standup to sellout crowds across the country.

Shrill is an uproarious memoir, a feminist rallying cry in a world that thinks gender politics are tedious and that women, especially feminists, can't be funny. Coming of age in a culture that demands women be as small, quiet, and compliant as possible - like a porcelain dove that will also have sex with you - writer and humorist Lindy West quickly discovered that she was anything but. With inimitable good humor, vulnerability, and boundless charm, Lindy boldly shares how to survive in a world where not all stories are created equal.

Publisher's summary
“Whitney Cummings has written a book about being, well, not fine - and what to do when you find yourself with brutal anxiety and a co-dependency disorder; all in her trademark wit, humor, and honesty. This book, however, is fine as hell.” (Sophia Amoruso, author of #Girlboss)
“The funniest cry for help you'll read this year.” (BJ Novak)
Well, well, well. Look at you, ogling my audiobook page.... I presume if you’re reading this, it means you either need more encouragement to buy it or we used to date and you’re trying to figure out if you should sue me or not. Here are all the stories and mistakes I’ve made that were way too embarrassing to tell on stage in front of an actual audience; but thanks to not-so-modern technology, you can hear about them here so I don’t have to risk having your judgmental eye contact crush my self-esteem.
This audiobook contains some delicious schadenfreude in which I recall such humiliating debacles as breaking my shoulder while trying to impress a guy, coming very close to spending my life in a Guatemalan prison, and having my lacerated ear sewn back on by a deaf guy after losing it in a torrid love affair.
In addition to hoarding mortifying situations that’ll make you feel way better about your choices, I’ve also accumulated a lot of knowledge from therapists, psychotherapists, and psychopaths that can probably help you avoid making the same mistakes I’ve made. Think of this audiobook as everything you’d want from the Internet all in one place, except without the constant distractions of ads, online shopping, and porn.
I’m not sure what else to say to say, except that you should buy it if you want to laugh and learn how to stop being crazy. And if we used to date, see you in court.

In the tradition of Cynthia Heimel and Chelsea Handler, and with the boisterous iconoclasm of Amy Sedaris, Julie Klausner's candid and funny debut I Don't Care about Your Band sheds light on the humiliations we endure to find love - and the lessons that can be culled from the wreckage. I Don't Care about Your Band posits that lately the worst guys to date are the ones who seem sensitive. It's the jerks in nice guy clothing, not the players in Ed Hardy, who break the hearts of modern girls.

The future showed so much freaking promise—until it all went to hell. Stassi may not be perfect—she may have made some (major) mistakes—but she does feel like she has some insight (and plenty of hilarious tales) about getting knocked up, called out, and learning from what went wrong.

Whether you're a Fortune 500 CEO or busy stay-at-home mom, the secret to being more effective and living a happier, healthier life is to hurry up and slow down, or unplug. As Anne Lamott said, "Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you." Contrary to what every Type-A person thinks, studies show that you can actually be more effective by doing less, by unplugging from the chaos of your life for just minutes a day.

There is a myth in our culture that the search for meaning is some esoteric pursuit - that you have to travel to a distant monastery or page through dusty volumes to figure out life's great secret. The truth is, there are untapped sources of meaning all around us - right here, right now.

In 2015, Arlan Hamilton was on food stamps and sleeping on the floor of the San Francisco airport, with nothing but an old laptop and a dream of breaking into the venture capital business. She couldn’t understand why people starting companies all looked the same (white and male), and she wanted the chance to invest in the ideas and people who didn’t conform to this image of how a founder is supposed to look. Hamilton had no contacts or network in Silicon Valley, no background in finance - not even a college degree. What she did have was fierce determination and the will to succeed.

Thought Provoking and Damn Practical
Yes, WC is funny - that’s what you’d expect. But like Jon Oliver mated with Oprah, this woman makes you think while you’re laughing. She might just be our next President. And it’s insanely practical. she just might save you a bunch of money on face cream and doctors visits, save you embarrassment by learning how to be humble and open minded, and save you at least 7 hours a week for the rest of your lives. This preaches to every woman’s inner child. Don’t miss it.

Honest and helpful
First of all, technically speaking, the reading and recording are excellent: engaging like a good conversation with a friend, at a convenient speed.
Now, the content. This is not an easy book, definitely not an easy entertainment for long commutes. However, for me it's one of the most helpful, important books i've ever came across. I wish i've read it in my formative years. The author is very honest and insightful, and shines light on some very important psychological issues that we usually do our best to avoid due to their difficulty. So it's a heavy content, but in the best way possible, as it provokes thought and change.
Looking forward for re-reading (re-listening?) it in a couple of years.

Surprising but so valuable
As many reviewers have said - this is not a very funny book. But it is a very real book. Very open and very vulnerable. Whitney doesn't hold anything back. We could all learn from her experiences. Well worth the time.

Whitney Cummings has always been a favorite
I've always loved Whitney and this book made me Love her even more. she's of course a great narrator too. it's not just her comedy here is her story too but even more than that she gives the readers some very profound insights from her own experiences.

Wow!
Not what I expected, but so well done! I’m glad I listened to it. Whitney has lived quite the life and has done it well.

Love. Love. Love this book
Warning. .i listened to this one all in one night while my son was sleeping nearby. How he slept thru the giggling and loud snorts of laughter (I was listening in my headphones) I will never know. I needed more stars than five . Five stars is too limiting but life is about boundaries after all. Right Whitney?

Love, love, love this audio book!
Seriously, this audio book was fantastic! I love Whitney's storytelling. I laughed so many times out loud at work that I had people looking at me funny. I will be listening to this one again, for sure!

Entertaining and Endearing!
I’ve always liked her comedy but I did not know a lot about her until this book. Literally everything she wrote about resonated with me in someway. The most touching was her experience with inner-child work, as I had the same reservations and reactions that she explained. Beyond that, the way she tackles her experiences in a male-dominated field and a superficially obsessed culture made me more feel more confident in my own experiences with both. Also, I laughed my ass off, she’s hilarious!
