Tom Papa is a little worried about you. You seem stressed, overworked, and, frankly, a little mixed up. Everyone is fighting an overwhelming feeling that things are getting worse, that we should be doing more, that we're not good enough. Well, life isn't perfect. There have always been problems, and there always will be. You can fight for the things you believe in, you can work really, really hard, but you shouldn't lose track of the fact that while you're doing all that, life is flying by at lightning-fast speed.

Publisher's Summary
You are reading this on a screen. You have First World Problems.
First World Problems: 101 Reasons Why The Terrorists Hate Us is a collection of short humorous essays and rants from a man who knows suffering. It is comedy that borders on tragedy.
What are First World Problems?
A First World Problem is a trivial issue that afflicts people in wealthier nations declared to be in the "First World".
Third World Problem: "I have to walk three miles to draw water from a dirty well or else I'll die of dehydration."
First World Problem: We have nothing to drink in the fridge except filtered tap water."
Do you have nothing to drink except a limitless supply of tap water? Have you ever bought so much food at the grocery store that it molded before you could eat it? Did you buy an iPhone one week before the new model was announced?
You're suffering from First World Problems.
What follows is the graphic account of what it's like to live in the First World. Tales of unreasonably cold air conditioning, eating to the point of exhaustion, and being unable to enjoy summer weather due to gainful employment in a bad economy.

A book I could listen to over and over
Personally, I love any book that makes me feel like I am just listening to a friend rant away about life and thoughts. I can agree or disagree, however when listening to a book I tend to agree/disagree in my head and not physically out loud, because I'm sure that would make me look a bit odd in public. I'd recommend this book to others.

Like Listening to a Stand-up Routine- Hilarious!
I read this book first and then listened to it when it became available on Audible. I can't even tell you how much better the narrator, who is also the author, reads this book than I did in my head. I was down right crying at a few points just from all the different voices the author uses, not to mention analogies like this, "Other than the McRib coming in and out like a negligent father, the McDonald's menu doesn't change."

Book about getting Diarrhea and Eating a lot.
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
People who had just been lobotomized, and or are doing a case study on the worst books on Audible. This could have been an interesting concept but it was poorly executed and highly repetitive.
Would you ever listen to anything by Ben Nesvig again?
Never. Unless my options were be shot in the head and or listen to another Ben Nesvig book. But otherwise I will never listen to another thing that he writes or narrates. It is roof not ruff. This book is all about getting Diarrhea and Eating an obscene amount.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Ben Nesvig?
Literally anyone else. Pick a random person off the street and they would have delivered a better audio performance than this man. Especially since he is the writer the lack enthusiasm, energy and comedic delivery is ridiculous. You sir are bad and should feel bad.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from First World Problems: 101 Reasons Why the Terrorists Hate Us?
I would have burnt the entire book. This book has 3 reasons for terrorist to hate us, which was stretched and called 101 but focus around these three points: 1. We complain about things even though we live in a technologically advanced civilization and don't know what real strife is. One of you will say, yeah that is what the book is about, but the arguments made are idiotic. 2. This man has Crohn's or IBS and shits a lot which results in bathroom dilemmas. 3. This man eats a lot which with his aforementioned problem of constant diarrhea he is forced to used public washrooms with cheap amenities.
Any additional comments?
I hate you and this book. That is $10 and 3 hours that I will never get back.

Story
From the break-out star of BuzzFeed and the People's Choice Award-winning comedian comes a collection of hilariously anguished essays chronicling awful moments from his life so far, the humiliations of being an adult, and other little indignities. Matt Bellassai has no idea what he's doing. Well, to be fair, he did become semi-Internet famous by getting drunk at work, making him a socially-acceptable - nay - professional alcoholic. He's got some things figured out. But the rest is all just a terrible, disgusting mess.

New York Times best-selling author Jen Lancaster has lived a life based on re-invention and self-improvement. From Bitter Is the New Black to The Tao of Martha, she’s managed to document her (and her generation’s) attempts to shape up, grow up, and have it all - sometimes with disastrous results...Mistakes are one thing; regrets are another. After a girls’ weekend in Savannah makes her realize that she is - yikes! - middle-aged (binge watching is so the new binge drinking), Jen decides to make a bucket list and seize the day.

In Such a Pretty Fat, Jen Lancaster learned how to come to terms with her body. In My Fair Lazy, she expanded her mind. Now, the New York Times best-selling author gives herself - and her generation - a kick in the X, by facing her greatest challenge to date: acting her age. Jen is finally ready to put away childish things (except her Barbie Styling Head, of course) and embrace the investment-making, mortgage-carrying, life insurance-having adult she's become.

Story
Follow New York Times best-selling author Mary Roach - but be careful not to trip - as she weaves through personal anecdotes and everyday musings riddled with her uncanny wit and amazingly analytical eye. These essays, which found a well-deserved home within the pages of Reader's Digest as the column "My Planet," detail the inner workings of hypochondriacs, hoarders, and compulsive cheapskates. (Did we mention neurotic interior designers and professional list makers?) For Roach, humor is hidden in the most unlikely places, which means that nothing is off limits.

There have always been problems, and there always will be. You can fight for the things you believe in, you can work really, really hard, but you shouldn't lose track of the fact that while you're doing all that, life is flying by at lightning-fast speed.

What we used to settle with common sense or a fist, we now settle with hand sanitizer and lawyers. Adam Carolla has had enough of this insanity and he's here to help us get our collective balls back.
