Rating:  Summary: Humor IS the best medicine! Review: I laughed till I cried. For those out there who think that self-help books can solve all your problems, this may not be for you. But those of us who think this whole self-help thing has gone too far, will be highly amused by the authors' creative parody of the most popular books in this area.The authors create book blurbs around their made-up titles. The text is evenly funny throughout. Even if this was created one or two nights in a bar over some drinks, it's a hysterical romp. Some zany book titles include: I'm OJ, Your OJ, Embraced by the Light FM, and a spoof on all those helpful travel guides -- Let's Go Hell. It makes for some great bathroom reading, or might be perfect as a gag gift for friends who may be hapless victims of this self-help syndrome. My advice, quit reading books about how sick you are and how you need to change, and start reading more books such as this and develop a sense of humor. Laughter IS the best medicine.

Rating:  Summary: Razor-Sharp Wit! Review: I love so much the being of this book! It's the only thing I have in my bathroom (besides toilet paper). You can turn to any page and find some hysterical line and clever take. The self-help section keeps growing,and Self-Helpless is the antidote!
Rating:  Summary: Drop-Dead Funny Review: This book had me laughing out loud in the store, which is something I almost never do. The parodies are really funny, and every page is jam-packed with all these clever jokes. My favorite page is "Do What You Love and The Money Will Follow: The Complete Guide To Sperm Bank Donation." Totally sick! If you are tired of self-help, you should read this book.
Rating:  Summary: I self-helped myself to some belly-laughs Review: This book is one-of-a-kind for poking fun at the world of self-help mania. I was motivated to try out the new diets in "Eat the CalZone" and a bit humbled by "The Ruler". Self-Helpless is great fun.
