Review

"ENLIGHTENMENT for NITWITS" is the funniest book I have read in several decades. Without quoting the book, it is difficult to recognize its utter simplicity: "If you're not in absolute bliss by the end of it, you might want to increase your meds." "If you're reading this before the invention of the printing press, be advised it is forbidden to interfere with the course of human history." Everything, from his grandmother's urine and feces samples, beautifully gift wrapped and left on the train, to blowing it by having a thirty second negative thought, is the name of the game. Nothing is sacred. "Sometimes you have to spend another $3 at Walmart to get class and elegance." You can defend to the death your right to shop naked or you can buy the book and enjoy 223 pages of delightful spoofs.
--C. Norman Shealy, M.D., Ph.D., author of "Life Beyond 100"

Product Description

This is the first metaphysical/self-help humor collection. It is full of hilarious one-liners and mind-bending pieces on a wide range of subjects:

• Announcement from the Mayan Calendar Committee

• My Toilet Runneth Over,

• A Lesson in Impatience

• Breatharians & Sun Gazers

• Bed Death & Beyond

• Outsourcing & UFOs

• This Just in from God:

• It’s Not Easy Being An Old Soul

• The Tao Travel Agency

• Politics & Naked Shopping

• Lipstick on Pig Splotches

• Poetry Slammed

• Potty Training Your Inner Child

• Self-Confidence for Total Losers

• Do-It-Yourself Near-Death Experiences

And more!

It features an Afterword by God: Let There Be Light Already!

Each of its forty-five short chapters is introduced with a funny blurb and photograph. This is a book you will keep handy to savor whenever you need an infusion of joy.

COVER BLURBS

Now you can achieve enlightenment without doing absolutely any work on yourself whatsoever!

“Funniest book in the last two billion years! Frankly, I enjoyed it more than the Bible.”
— GOD, Creator of the Universe

The Keys to Life are yours for the price of a cheap paperback!

Many seekers have trod the difficult path to enlightenment, giving up everything and going through hell—Not only is a trip to the Himalayas expensive, but you have to hike through yak poo to remote villages with no Wi-Fi.

Now you can reach the highest states of consciousness possible to humanity without missing a single text message. And even Walmart couldn’t beat the price if it hired all the sadhus in India to toil in sweatshops for ten cents an hour to bring you the secrets of the Universe. This book is everything you need to ascend into the stratosphere of spiritual mastery!

More Acclaim for "Enlightenment for Nitwits"

“Heck of a job, Hoodie! Of course, I didn’t need this book because I was already enlightened, but I’m sure it will help a lot of other people. Keep up the good work!”
— GEORGE W. BUSH, former owner, Texas Rangers

“Thousands of candles can be lit from this single book. But read it first.”
— THE BUDDHA, inventor of enlightenment

“Wickedly funny. Something to offend everyone!”
— SATAN, Prince of Darkness and leading cable news producer

“We are not amused. However, Prince Harry laughed his arse off.”

MORE TESTIMONIALS

“I love 'Enlightenment for Nitwits'! It is the funniest book I have read in several decades. If laughter leads to enlightenment, it will certainly do it. Nothing—thank God—is sacred in this delightful spoof on life in general.”
— C. Norman Shealy, M.D., author of Life Beyond 100

“'Enlightenment for Nitwits' made me see God. I never would have guessed She wears so much makeup.”
— Jeffrey Briar, California

“That filthy homosexual Zionist infidel swine Shepherd Hoodwin caused me to laugh so hard it almost made me want to forsake being a servant of Allah and become a comedian. May Allah punish him when he dies by greeting him with seventy-two voluptuous virgins. It would serve him right.”
— Ayman al-Zawahri, leading terrorist

“Thanks to this book, I made a 360 degree turn in my life. … It has it all: brilliant punctuation, scintillating paragraph breaks, & ampersands to die for.”
— Stan Grindstaff, editor

“Draino for the Soul.”
— Joe the Plumber

“Every star in rehab wants a copy. Hotter than the iPad combined!”
– LONDON HILTON, celebrity/hotel

5.0 out of 5 stars I feel lighter (with laughter) already!, January 4, 2012
I found Shepard Hoodwin's latest book "Enlightenment for Nitwits" a fun easy read. A Combination of Woody Allen meets Mad Magazine. Full of wit and witticisms for your inner nitwit!

5.0 out of 5 stars This Book Kills Bugs On Contact!, December 18, 2011
Since I'm only a nincompoop and have yet to evolve to the lofty status of nitwit, I was worried this book wouldn't offer the enlightenment I truly needed. But I even laughed my "astral" ass off when I read it!

People who say "nucular" rather than nuclear will also enjoy the George Bush references, as well as the pithy one-liners that are as smooth as a vitamin E suppository. In other words, there's great fiber here for any humor diet -- even breatharians will enjoy it.

Indeed, EFN is the perfect antidote for those morbidly serious lightworkers that power their own enlightenment by stealing the batteries out of their neighbor's vibrators. This book will hopefully help those tortured souls, and maybe torture a few of them, too.

And on a practical, multi-purpose note (if you buy the printed version, that is) this book KILLS BUGS ON CONTACT! ;-)

5.0 out of 5 stars What a hilarious, uplifting read in an age where we take ourselves too seriously!, November 16, 2011
This review is from: Enlightenment for Nitwits: The Complete Guide to 2012 & Beyond! (Kindle Edition)
Jesus' brother Joe has outdone himself with the publication of "Enlightenment for Nitwits"! As 2012 approaches, there is all kinds of talk about how to become enlightened and possibly even attain "ascension". What more could mankind want at this time than the Cliff's notes version to enlightenment?!

This book is a light hearted uplifting read that helps us laugh at ourselves and realize that perhaps we take things a bit too seriously. In worried times there is no better medicine than laughter, and this book provides plenty of it. I loved it! Would make an excellent Christmas gift, especially for the college age crowd (philosophy majors would adore this!) And the price is so affordable, you can't go wrong!

Bravo Joe!
