This is the Pandora's Box of self-help books. -Conan O'Brien When I was told that Daniel Sloss had written a book, I was immensely interested since I'd resented him already by watching his standup specials - for his quick wit and free-associative irreverent style that I thought I'd originated. Spoiler alert: Don't be disappointed if, by reading this book, everyone you hate doesn't die, but what a title. And what a book. It's smart, acerbic, and incredibly funny. I suggest you read it. And anything else Daniel sends our way. He's a very special comic mind and one that is a gift to those of us who need to hear from our best, hilarious, demented, smart friend. -Bob Saget The only thing wrong with this book is that at my age everyone I hate is already dead. -Peter Bart The funniest book I've ever read for libel. -The Alfred A. Knopf lawyer [Sloss is] dirty, sweet and clever. -Elise Czajkowski, The New York Times Sloss uses comedy as a means to not only make his fans laugh but also to raise critical questions about the way we act . . . -Christina Zhao, Newsweek He tells jokes that are transgressive, that are shocking, that are dark enough to emphasize that he's not some kind of pious, soggy, joyless hector. -Sophie Gilbert, The Atlantic His bits teem with curse words, wicked daydreams...But the slapstick is a preamble: Sloss's signature move is a pivot to vulnerability. -Eren Orbey, The New Yorker Sloss offers insights on toxic masculinity, gender and sexuality that are at once deliciously dark, hilarious and profound. -Debbie Hall, Daily Record
