Product Description

These days, a lot of people are trying to tell teens what’s best for them. Here’s a look at life from artist and professional nonconformist Laurie Rosenwald, who insists that she doesn’t want to tell anyone what to do. But when you are as irreverent as she is (Is the earth really worth saving?) and as funny (Your breasts: What do they mean?) people sort of DO want to know what you think. Then again, if you think like Rosenwald, it could get you kicked out of yoga class.

In the tradition of nothing you’ve ever seen or read, All the Wrong People Have Self Esteem is for young women* who ask good questions about life and then like to laugh at the answers. Got a better approach?

*or frankly, anybody else.

5.0 out of 5 stars Honesty, December 21, 2008
Being the parent of a 14-year-old girl I'm happy to have found Rosenwald's book. At first glance it may seem flip or a bit goofy, but there is quite a bit of earnest, useful advice for young women that is written in a direct and heartfelt matter. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars For All Minds That Love to Frolic, December 21, 2008
By flashberg (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
Rosenwald exalts us with extreme truth expressed with so much original spunk and clarity, you'll feel inspired to bake Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Muffins," a concept introduced in the book where you combine ingredients which don't go together...and YET THEY DO! Like beets and chocolate. Like vegetarians and meat. Laurie speaks in fluent collage. She combines bits of images, paint, rants and ideas like a surrealist writing a survival manual. And the best thing is, IT ALL MAKES SENSE. I have never met a book so vastly original, strange, poetic, hilarious, helpful and hip all at once. Laurie Rosenwald makes THINKING FUN... which is why this is an excellent book for all minds that love to frolic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Say it like it is, December 20, 2008
By Keira Alexandra (Brooklyn, NY) - See all my reviews
What a refreshing pleasure it is to have a Laurie Rosenwald book in your hands. Bright and funny and sophisticated and wise and playful and creative and tactile and amusing and most of all, so deadly honest, which we could all use a little more of in this world.
