Book Description
Written for people who are absolutely no help to themselves whatsoever, Buy This Book and You Wont Be Hurt contains more than 2,500 jokes and one-liners that offers readers one way to see how someone else copes with their issues you have with yourself. Willidau tries to help himself by helping others since theyve only really been the problem for him and hes hoping that what goes around comes around in full. Ken Willidaus philosophy is that if he can help one person, he knows hes probably solved one of his own problems, too. So its double self-help. How much more do you losers need before its just embarassing to everyone. Everyone. And, if you can be helped the odds are in his favour he will be, too. Chapters try to save the reader from themselves for the time it takes to read them, anyway. Among them the realization and acceptance that, Life is Taking You on a Trip to Nowhere, Vanity, Thy Name is I, In a Nutshell, Youre Nuts, Youre Only Human, Youre Being Stupid to Think Youre Not and Grinning and Bearing It make the day one thats not as hopeless when it is over than when it began. The time is spent with a healthy helping of jokes using wit, dark humour, tongue-in-cheek, shots at you gentle reader, plays on words and double entendre humour. Spending your time with Ken may not help all your problems but it kept you away from making them worse for a while now that you see how really crazy life can be. Buy This Book and You Wont Be Hurt is the perfect read for those days when youre as far away from perfect as you can possibly get and any help you can get would be a big one. Self-help yourself.
