Editorial Reviews
Review
"A gleefully sardonic guide to self-condemnation and disapproval that offers up wisdom in bite-size morsels. . . . This smart, accessible title will entertain audiences from precocious high schoolers to retirees. A good choice for all public collections; academic libraries may also wish to consider." Library Journal

- Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2023I’ve never laughed harder
- Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2008An 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.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2008Lynn 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!

- Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2008Lynn 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.
