OverviewThe perfect parody Christmas gift book for that selfish egomaniac in your life. Love him or (let's face it, more likely) loathe him, Boris Johnson has been a towering figure for decades in the worlds of politics, journalism and personal scandal. Somehow he always bounces back. How does he do it? And how might we mere mortals elevate our piffling lives to greatness? Unhinged: Life Lessons from Boris Johnson is a guide to how the man has conducted his life, and how we can take useful guidance to enhance our own. How to trivialise everything with buffoonery, for example. How to make rich and influential friends. How to smash everything to pieces and then try to fix it and then smash it again and again. The book will concentrate on the really good stuff and simply ignore the rest, like a discarded girlfriend. Comedy writer Ian Martin (The Thick of It, Veep) offers readers a re-assessment of Boris Johnson, who has so much to teach us. Published as a parody companion volume to Johnson's own extremely honest account of the last few years, Unhinged: Life Lessons from Boris Johnson is full of inspiring stories from his illustrious career. Here are easy-to-recreate social gambits, life rules and some great excuses that'll get you out of all sorts of tricky situations. Let’s all pay him the respect he deserves. Let our motto be: Be More Boris!
