Deliciously hilarious. If you care about people and enjoy a good
laugh, I politely encourage you to read this book. Immediately.
--Adam Grant, bestselling author of Originals
From the brilliant comedic mind behind the hit movie Yes Man, a
hilarious and pitch-perfect look at the rudeness that's all around us --
where it comes from, how it affects us, and what we can do about it
You're not just imagining it: People are getting more and more rude -
from cutting in line, gabbing on their phones and clipping their nails
on public transportation, to hurling epithets on Twitter and in real
life (including a certain President who does both). And the worst part
is that it's contagious, leading reasonably courteous people to stoop to
new lows in order to respond to the ever-coarsening encounters we face
every day.
In this engaging and illuminating new book, bestselling author and
all-around curious guy Danny Wallace looks at the reasons behind the
rudeness, and what we can do to stop it. His quest to stop the madness
includes interviews with neuroscientists, psychologists, NASA
scientists, politicians, and other experts. He joins a Radical Honesty
group, talks to LA drivers about road rage, and confronts his own online
troll in a pub--all to better understand the scourge that's turning
normal people into bullies, tantruming toddlers, trolls, and other types
of everyday monsters.
Want to be part of the solution? Let Danny Wallace be your smart and
funny guide.
