Self-help sucks! Self-absorbed attempts to be happy are WORK. Why eat kale, exercise to the bone, and embark on a “thoughtful, engaging, and compelling” pursuit of happiness when kvetching a blue streak works wonders on your lousy mood?

  • How to coddle your inner curmudgeon

  • 20 great reasons NOT to have sex

  • Self-care for drama queens

  • Money tips for the miserable

Misery: It’s an art form if you do it right. Embrace the pain; feel the joy!

“Barb Best has artfully skewered the self-help industry while giving all of us access to her hilarious take on... well, everything. Hilarious!”
— W. Bruce Cameron, New York Times Bestselling Author of A Dog’s Purpose
