You Are Worthless: Depressing Nuggets of Wisdom Sure to Ruin Your Day

About this book

You Are Worthless is the self-help book from hell. This bracing blast of negativity takes aim at the impossibly cheerful "inspirational self-help" books flooding the market and hits the bullseye with chapters such as "Your Good-for-Nothing Friends " "Your Miserable Job " and "Life: Whats the Use?" This hilarious parody collects hundreds of tidbits of painful reality such as "Youre no good youre not great-looking and youre going to die someday and its probably going to hurt." Who among us isnt sick to death of the gushy new-agey inspirational books that blindly assert that everyone is worthy? We all know the truth and this book is as refreshing as a slap to the face. Just some of the depressingly humorous nuggets of truth include: You dont really have any outstanding qualities. Its safe to say youre pretty much just like everybody else. The only reason your pet likes you is because you feed it. As you get older you are going to have less and less control over your bladder. If you take a big risk and follow your dream chances are youre going to fall flat on your face. You Are Worthless also features a section called "Hopeless Role Models from History " including Helen Keller ("Ive had it") and Abraham Lincoln ("Theonly thing Im good at is losing").
