This book brought me the same level of joy MAD Magazine brought me when I was 12. I've been reading it on my toilet again and again.

This review is from: Don't Be That Guy: A Collection of 60 Annoying Guys We All Know and Wish We Didn't (Paperback)

Required reading for every male on the planet. I was expecting a moderate chuckle - was pleasantly surprised to find deep insights on humanity summarized by bite-sized poetic wit, and complimented with a hilarious illustrative style. Soon-to-be-a-classic. Witness ye the birth of a comedic franchise.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best self-help book out there!, April 13, 2009

This review is from: Don't Be That Guy: A Collection of 60 Annoying Guys We All Know and Wish We Didn't (Paperback)

Throw away your battered copy of "How to Win Friends and Influence People". Get rid of that dog-eared paperback "How to Be a Better Person". Guys, this is the only self-help book you will ever need. And it is without a doubt the funniest. I laughed hysterically when a spot-on portrait of my co-worker showed up. Then cried when I showed up. Then laughed uncontrollably when my dad and best friend showed up. Then cried when I showed up yet again. To quote the Forward, "To all of you, consider this a full-length mirror: an honest little reflection to help you see the bonehead we all see in you." It's time for me to turn off the Dave Matthews, remove my wool hat, and read this little gem once more. The perceptive writing is genius and may just help me to become a better person!
