About this ebook

Nobody wants to be a loser. With this revolutionary new handbook, readers will learn how to win at literally everything*—even things that aren't contests, and that you can't or shouldn't try to win at, such as dreaming, apologizing, and talking on the phone with your mom. Crucial illustrated advice and instruction guides would-be winners through activities including bird-watching (start by spotting common species like pigeons, or dogs), job interviews (maintain eye contact: very smart people do not need to blink), and many more scenarios for success. In sharing their hard-won knowledge, the authors—noted experts at this sort of thing—help readers become the future winners they were meant to be.

*actually, more like dozens of things

Ratings and reviews

The sample, google. I realized that this book is absolutely nothing like the other ones I actually spent money on...

I'm amazed they could fill that many pages with that much uselessness.

It's pretty satirical and funny but the same sarcastic humour is used over and over they may as well have just filled in the 161 pages with three words, "like a boss"
