Customer Reviews

great fun

Lynn Phillips' new book is so witty and sharp in its observations. It's laugh-out-loud heady. I particularly enjoyed the range of references, from the highbrow to the lowbrow and everywhere between. It's a great tonic compared to so many of the self-congratulating self-help books. Wayne Lavender, Psychologist

Begin laughter

Lynn Phillips is one of the funniest, creative, and savvy living writers out there. Her Kitty Lyons piece in nerve was one of the sexiest, intelligent columns out there. 'Self Loathing' is a hilarious take on self help books- tackling all things for which we beat ourself up for: diet, relationships, porn... Great gift & great read! ---------------- the apple sisters

Stop fretting and start reveling in your insecurities.

An invaluable contribution to the canon of self-help books that drive us all to despair. Finally someone gets it. So Beginners and experts alike - Get it. Share it with others who suffer from self doubt or should. We should start a campaign to get it into the hands of most of the 24 hour news agencies and FOX. They have not begun to tap into the self-loathing they ought to be feeling.
