Oh, the things I know!

You'll never find a more comprehensive—or more disconcerting—guide to guide your journey down life's long road! Al Franken is known in the United States as a brilliant comedian who destroys the clichés of our time in a few hilarious sentences. In "Oh, the Things I Know!", he delightfully parodies self-help books, presenting an unusual guide that guides—and disorients, provokes, and surprises—the reader through every stage of life, from youth to old age. The advice gathered here is utterly unusual, as the chapter titles themselves reveal: "Oh, the Mistakes You'll Keep Making!", "Oh, the Orgasms You'll Fake!", "Oh, the Pounds You'll Gain!", among others. At the end of each chapter, a summary revisits, corrects, enriches, and comments on the topics covered, with even more entertaining results. Relentless, against the cliché, immune to the pitfalls of "political correctness," Al Franken manages the feat of combining humor and intelligence, mockery and irony. Journeying through these delicious life lessons results in an experience of pure pleasure—the most authentic exercise in self-help.
