Jason Gay's collection of essays on "rules to live by" didn't dictate but suggested in a humorous, wise, and entertaining way how to behave in the world today. His essays also contained bits and pieces of his family and career life. All in all a nice way to spend a few hours.

A funny, sweet read, but there are many more memorable versions of this kind of book available right now.

Poignant, funny, silly, insightful commentaries about a range of experiences. Some I related to more than others. Some felt like he was reading my mind. Gay is a good writer with a good wit, so you'll likely enjoy even if you don't relate to all of his stories.

Fun and funny

This is just such a happy, sweet, and hilarious little book. I'm so glad I finally read it! (Sarah, you may not remember this, but you recommended it to me after reading about it in a magazine, I think?) One star off because of mild language concerns. But all-in-all, a lovely little read & it was the perfect companion during these crazy past couple of weeks. Also, i read waaaay more words about dinner parties and touch football than I ever expected.

Sweet and, yes, funny, but lacks any bite. A little twee for my taste.

Cute, funny, quick little read with advice from one person to the rest of us -- just from experience in his own life. Maybe more a dude book, but still a cute one.

Parts were laugh out loud funny, others were quite touching. Think of a mashup between Mindy Kaling and David Sedaris....then lower those expectations slightly. The audiobook is read by the author, which I think enhances the told. This would be great for a road trip, or enjoyed with someone else, as many of the themes and topics are great conversation starters.

A group of funny, surprising poignant essays on life.
