Book Description

October 15, 1999
Men's Health magazine's "Jimmy the Bartender" column has the #1 reader response rate each month. Jimmy is the best of his class. He has seen it all, heard it all, thinks much of it is pathetic, and is willing to tell you to stop whining and face the music.

Here Jimmy doles out all-new advice on a myriad of manly issues--an erratic sex life, a lunatic boss, a loudmouth kid, a lousy local football team.

Jimmy's autobiographical introduction offers the first glimpse of the man behind the bar towel. In "Jimmy's Picks," the martini-mixing mentor tells his ten favorite insults, best barbecue joints, and more: How do you deal with a friend who owes you money or the attractive ex of your best friend? Jimmy gives the straight scoop with a twist of laughter.

Candid, comic and cantankerous, Jimmy the Bartender's Guide to Life is the perfect antidote to America's Chicken Soup hangover.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must-have reference book for any guy with a social life., November 4, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Jimmy the Bartender's Guide to Life: Advice on Women, Work, and Other Stuff that Screws Up Men's Lives (Paperback)
I always delighted in Jimmy's articles. So, how great is it to have all of his wit and wisdom pulled together in one gotta-have-it volume. Jimmy's laid out all his invaluable "guy advice" in such an easy to read, quick reference form that it'll help every evolving urban male get the skinny on everything from snappy comebacks in tight situations to dressing to impress. No insult to Jimmy, but this is the best book to keep handy in the john - where you can get a quick edifying fix before you head out for the day. And did I mention it's funny as hell? A great book for women to have to gain greater insight into how out brains work.

5.0 out of 5 stars The anti-Ann Landers...and about time., October 31, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Jimmy the Bartender's Guide to Life: Advice on Women, Work, and Other Stuff that Screws Up Men's Lives (Paperback)
I thought this was going to be one of those advice books for men where they tell you what's really bothering you and how to get help, the pop-psychology formula. But I was wrong, completely. This guy should put every shrink in the country out of business. He really pulls no punches. Jimmy gives it to you straight from the gut, which I think is pretty unusual these days. As a man who just ended a relationship with a woman I thought I was going to marry, I really wish I had this book about two months ago. It was all there and I just didn't see it.

There is also a column by Jimmy in Men's Health and now I read that too. This guy could write a book a day and I'd read every one of them.

Jimmy touches on just about every aspect that we've all heard in every bar accross this country! Nothing changes and Jimmy has some "straight from the hip" advice. I laughed, I learned, I loved it!
