Dear Fellow Imperfect Human,

Congratulations! By picking up this book, you've already demonstrated one of humanity's most endearing traits: the belief that reading about your flaws might somehow fix them. Spoiler alert: it won't. But at least we'll have a good laugh trying.

Somewhere around 3,500 years ago, a guy named Moses came down from a mountain with ten simple rules for getting along. Ten. That's fewer rules than most people have for their Netflix passwords. Yet here we are in the 21st century, still struggling with basics like "don't kill people" and "don't steal stuff."

Then, roughly 2,000 years ago, another fellow showed up with an even simpler message: love each other. Revolutionary stuff, really. He spent three years walking around demonstrating this radical concept, even going so far as to die for it. You'd think that might have made an impression.

But no. Here we are, millennia later, getting into Facebook arguments about pineapple on pizza and passive-aggressively competing over whose life is more miserable. We've mastered space travel and artificial intelligence, yet we still can't figure out how to merge lanes without road rage or attend a family dinner without someone storming off over politics.

This book is a loving (yet mercilessly honest) examination of why we humans insist on making life so much harder than it needs to be. From our inexplicable need to one-up each other's suffering to our Olympic-level talent for minding everyone's business except our own, we'll explore the beautiful disaster that is human interaction.

So buckle up, fellow flawed human. It's time to laugh at ourselves – because if we don't, we might just cry.
