Finally a self-help book that has a REAL perspective on life
Absolutely devoid of any spiritual or religious significance or meaning, I HATE THIS PLACE: The Pessimist’s Guide to Life is a humorous take on self-help books created by two people with a unique brand of humor. A character born in the minds of Jimmy Fallon and his sister Gloria Fallon as they communicated with each other via email from Los Angeles and Boston, “The Pessimist” offers a peculiar and hilarious take on the common occurrences of everyday life – an inspired antidote to the usual self-help book.
The title of this book says it all. It includes wonderfully pessimistic chapters such as “If you were thinking of….(Don’t!),” “When people say…(they really mean…),” “Personal reflections of the Pessimist,” and “Daily affirmations for the Pessimist.”
Here are a few gems that show you that there is no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow:
“Some days I wake up, and stare at the ceiling. Then I think, ‘Man, I wish it was tomorrow.”
“Whenever I’m stuck in traffic, I can’t help but wonder, ‘Where did the creator of ‘The Jetsons’ go, and why hasn’t he done something about this??’”
“Sometimes I wish that I had a terrible childhood, so that at least I’d have an excuse.”
“They say a dog is man’s best friend. That’s if you’re lucky enough to get one of those ‘friendly’ dogs.”
In the tradition of Al Franken’s Stuart Smalley and Jack Handley’s Deep Thoughts (both of which were first seen on Saturday Night Live and went on to become bestsellers), I HATE THIS PLACE will strike a chord with readers everywhere. Afterall, there is a pessimist inside all of us just waiting to get out!
About the Authors: Jimmy Fallon and Gloria Fallon were born a year apart in Brooklyn, New York, to Jim and Gloria Fallon (yes, you read that correctly), and were raised upstate in Saugerties. They both attended college in the Albany area. After college the two Fallons went their separate ways, moving to Los Angeles and Boston respectively. I HATE THIS PLACE started as cross-country e-mail messages between brother and sister, making each other laugh while they were miles apart. With Jimmy’s background in comedy and Gloria’s background in writing, the two siblings decided to write a book. While they are excited about having their first book published, the Fallons still hate this place. -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine vergriffene oder nicht verfügbare Ausgabe dieses Titels.

All my friends think I'm weird because whenever I think of a line from the book, I just start laughing. This book is like my 'signature' book now... synonymous with me and my infamous sarcastic jokes! haha... I Hate This Place would be a good dinner table discussion book, even though I'm only 15 and won't be hosting any dinners anytime soon... anyway get the book especially if you're a Jimmy Fallon fan like me. :) I'm now a fan of Gloria's too! Okay, I'm gonna go and read the book for the 5th time now....

I just bought I hate this place...and I loved it. This book cracked me up. It was so funny, because it's so true! Everyone has said or thought at least one of the phrases at some point. It will definitely put a bad day into perspective and bring a smile to your face.
