About
This is the Pandora's Box of self-help books. — Conan O'Brien
When I was told that Daniel Sloss had written a book, I was immensely interested since I'd resented him already by watching his standup specials — for his quick wit and free-associative irreverent style that I thought I'd originated. Spoiler alert: Don't be disappointed if, by reading this book, everyone you hate doesn't die, but what a title. And what a book. It's smart, acerbic, and incredibly funny. I suggest you read it. And anything else Daniel sends our way. He's a very special comic mind and one that is a gift to those of us who need to hear from our best, hilarious, demented, smart friend. — Bob Saget
The only thing wrong with this book is that at my age everyone I hate is already dead. — Peter Bart
[Sloss is] dirty, sweet and clever. — Elise Czajkowski, The New York Times
He tells jokes that are transgressive, that are shocking, that are dark enough to emphasize that he's not some kind of pious, soggy, joyless hector. — Sophie Gilbert, The Atlantic
His bits teem with curse words, wicked daydreams...But the slapstick is a preamble: Sloss's signature move is a pivot to vulnerability. — Eren Orbey, The New Yorker
Sloss offers insights on toxic masculinity, gender and sexuality that are at once deliciously dark, hilarious and profound. — Debbie Hall, Daily Record
