Critic reviews

"This book didn't just make me laugh, it rescued my sanity from a precarious ledge. Thank you, Dan Zevin!" (A. J. Jacobs, best-selling author of The Year of Living Biblically and Thanks a Thousand)

"These hilarious mantras reduce stress and provide ample justification for mumbling to myself in public. Sign me up!" (Sarah Knight, New York Times best-selling author of Calm the F*ck Down and The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a F*ck)

Hilarious! Falling over laughing!

I split my sides laughing!
The oh-so-solemn voice of the narrator was perfect. He ridiculed our endless quest for enlightenment and fulfillment by looking in all the wrong places, such as by finding "mindfulness" (Ha!) in an endless line at Starbucks, or by gazing into infinity and our smartphones at the same time. Don't lose your sh** or your serenity! Do you need a good laugh? This will do the job.
