First published 2009
Sarah Silverman takes readers through her twisted version of personal development. She covers the major stages of human experience: discovery, relationships, awareness, desire, and growth. Her approach ditches the warm fuzzy feelings that typical self-help books promise. Instead, she serves up crude, self-centered, and clueless guidance that turns conventional wisdom on its head. Laura, Brian, and the rest of the characters from her Comedy Central show jump in with their own inappropriate commentary throughout. Sarah's world operates by different rules than most people expect from life advice books. Her foulmouthed style challenges readers who might be used to gentler inspiration. This guide promises to shock anyone expecting traditional feel-good messages about living well.
