Help Yourself with Some Great Satire!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
OK, I admit it, I am very gullible. When I first saw the title of this book, I thought it was a serious treatise. It wouldn't have surprised me considering how obsessed with self-help this culture is! Upon a closer inspection, the joke was obvious - and hilarious. The humor of this book is good-natured and clean enough, but made me laugh out loud on several occasions. It takes psycho-babble and political correctness to absurd extremes and proves how ridiculous they can get. Cartoons accompany the text perfectly. My favorite is the graph showing how much money the government has spent on educating cats (a flat zero from the beginning to the end). Highly recommended!
Whimsically Humorous Satire Done Right

Don't let the title of this book fool you. It is a well-written, hilarious account of psycho-babble gone beserk, told in the form of a how-to manual for pet owners. Spoofs many of our modern manias. Great fun. Highly recommended.
Ha ha ha! Comedy book of the year!

My teacher's friend wrote this book, and I'm good friends with my teacher so I've heard much about about this book. The most funny part is not the book, it's that people actually think that it's a real guide to boosting your pet's self-esteem! Ha ha ha. Great book. No doubt about it, it's a must-read.
