Do you need tips on how to live? I mean besides the breathing and eating part? Then this book is for you! Including self-help tips for Jewish robots from the future (I'm guessing)!!!!!, Easily as hilarious as Mirman's stellar stand-up comedy, featuring meta pull-quote jokes, funny author blurbs from other comics and indispensable wisdom., This book is a knee-slapper, a gut-buster, and a side-splitter. Don't read it unless you have health insurance!, This book is good, and not just because it was free. Knowing what I knownow about the quality, I would have paid at least nine thousand dollars., It's clear from the get-go that comedian Eugene Mirman's life guide is not your typical self-help manual bent on nurturing the soul with hot soup or some other bullshit, but instead with flat-out humor., When to serve duck confit? What's the haps with sexual harassment? In a world full of questions, the entertaining Eugene Mirman has all the answers., 'A freewheeling mix of bemused ironies and trenchantly silly non-sequiturs.' ( -- The Boston Phoenix ), I laughed out loud reading this. I was reading it in public. Three cute girls at a nearby table laughed at me. I swear one of them mouthed the words, 'fat loser' to her friends. I now hate Eugene Mirman., Eugene Mirman is the Andy Warhol of comedy. People look to him for what's next in comedy, and he emails these people back promptly. The Will to Whatevs put me in a great mood because I was laughing out loud. Alone. That's hard to do., Mirman has seamlessly translated his stage sensibility to the page. Which is to say that the king of Brooklyn comedy has written a book that's ridiculous, nonsensical, often rambling and generally pointless-yet will make you laugh out loud with enough frequency to embarrass yourself in front of strangers nearby., This book is good, and not just because it was free. Knowing what I know now about the quality, I would have paid at least nine thousand dollars., Whatevs is filled with tons of Mirman's patented laser-targeted yet random as hell asides, and his clip-art illustrations and graphs are truly inspired., Mirman has seamlessly translated his stage sensibility to the page. Which is to say that the king of Brooklyn comedy has written a book that's ridiculous, nonsensical, often rambling and generally pointless--yet will make you laugh out loud with enough frequency to embarrass yourself in front of strangers nearby., 'A freewheeling mix of bemused ironies and trenchantly silly non-sequiturs.' ( e" The Boston Phoenix ), The Will to Whatevs is one of the funniest things I have read in years. This book delightfully skewers the self-help genre, Mirman reminds me of Woody Allen's prose works with his self-obsessed narrator, witty asides, and non-sequiturs that will leave you reeling., The book is easily as hilarious as Mirman's stellar stand-up comedy, featuring meta pull-quote jokes, and indispensable wisdom., At last, now, you can be truly happy, the MIRMAN WAY. Just be sure to adjust your rubber mask eye holes to 'READ MODE,' or else this book will not help you., 'A freewheeling mix of bemused ironies and trenchantly silly non-sequiturs.' ( - The Boston Phoenix ), The seasoned standup comic dispenses invaluable, hyperbolic advice in his debut tome, The Will to Whatevs., Reading this book is like having a tiny Eugene riding on your shoulder and whispering his advice in your ear. I agree with Eugene on all aspects of this book except taking acid at an office party. I am never doing that again. Buy this book., Armed with eccentric wit and charm, the Russian-born comedian offers compelling insights on contemporary living, from starting a band to high-school social etiquette., "Mirman offers moments of startling clarity: When defending his authority to dish out advice, he writes, "In America, 'authority' is an attitude. And I've adopted it." And earned it.", A work of penetrating insight and rigorous scholarship. By turning our attention away from the 'will to power' and toward the more deeply significant will to whatevs, Mirman reshapes the debate in a way that will doubtless influence philosophers for generations to come., Eugene Mirman is a very humorous individual. Buy a copy of Eugene's book. You won't regret the purchase.
