Synopsis
"Most self-help books are trite. They don't tell you anything you don't already know, and if you could follow their advice, you wouldn't need to read the book in the first place. This book, however, is radically different. It assumes that you are a normal happy person and want to experience the misery that so many others complain about. It gives some great advice on how to bring yourself to hell on earth, -- and bring all of your family, friends, and co-workers right along with you! Best of all, you can do all this while rolling on the floor with laughter. Give this book to anyone whose cheerful mood annoys you when you are down in the dumps. I totally recommend this book for anyone even slightly Unhappy or those who love them !!" "I totally recommend this book for anyone even slightly Unhappy or those who love them !! It's fabulous. We had a great time, saw ourselves and others in the pages and since, unfortunately, this whole family is part of the 20% of happy people in a miserable world, the laughs were frequent and heartfelt." "I've read through bunches of self-help books. Of all of them, I think "Born to Win" and this book are the only two that will persist on my shelves." "The book is a delightful take hon the American way. Written with insight and humor, the author takes you into misery as a way of life and offers clever ways of maintaining your miserable status. I read it in one evening and thoroughly enjoyed the wacky humor and uncanny knowledge of how we make ourselves sick with unnecessary worry and self doubt. Read it with a sense of humor and you can't help but love it the way I did." "This is a great book to have on your living room coffee table or bedside, so that you can pick it up often, open to any page, and laugh at how ludicrous we can be on a regular basis. I have taught social dance classes for over 20 years, and my goal is to provide an arena in which people have the freedom to laugh at themselves while learning about something new. Gil's book provides me and others with that freedom. I highly recommend it!" "This is a good book when one feels down and needs an uplift. It allows one to realize not to take life so seriously. Very enjoyable reading."

From the Author
I am an expert on this subject. I was born in the South, the South Bronx. I didn't start talking until I was four years old, couldn't blow my nose till five. I never won any special award for anything. I was a plugger in school and just kept plugging. Eventually, I landed up at Harvard Law School where I was one of the students that made the top half of the class possible. After finishing Harvard, I worked as a lawyer, teacher and wrote. My books include, How to Conduct Your Own Divorce in England and Wales, How to Buy and Sell a Used Car in Europe, A Dictionary of Love, and my long awaited, How to be Totally Unhappy in a Peaceful World, which tells how I have accomplished this goal and shows you how you can do it too.

"Before reading your book, I used to feel that my problems were due to my lack of initiative and inability to get out of bed in the morning. After reading your book, I realize that my problems are all due to my parents, my spouse, bad luck and God. What a relief." -Janet Hodgepodge, Kookamoo, IN
"Your book has been an inspiration to me. I will not need to buy another self-help book. You cured me. I'm misreable and I love it. -Jim Cantwin, Nowhere, AZ
