Publisher's Summary
In How to Be Miserable, psychologist Randy Paterson outlines 40 specific behaviors and habits which - if followed - are sure to lead to a lifetime of unhappiness. On the other hand, if you do the opposite, you may yet join the ranks of happy people everywhere!
There are stacks upon stacks of self-help books that will promise you love, happiness, and a fabulous life. But how can you pinpoint the exact behaviors that cause you to be miserable in the first place? Sometimes when we're depressed, or just sad or unhappy, our instincts tell us to do the opposite of what we should - such as focusing on the negative, dwelling on what we can't change, isolating ourselves from friends and loved ones, eating junk food, or overindulging in alcohol. Sound familiar?
This tongue-in-cheek guide will help you identify the behaviors that make you unhappy and discover how you - and only you - are holding yourself back from a life of contentment. You'll learn to spot the tried-and-true traps that increase feelings of dissatisfaction, foster a lack of motivation, and detract from our quality of life - as well as ways to avoid them.
So, get ready to live the life you want (or not?). This fun, irreverent guide will light the way.

Great use of comedy to discuss depression
A refreshingly funny self help book. The author's personal experience with depression gave him a unique insight that is often missed in most books trying to help with depression. It's much easier to have your routines pointed out as negative, and why they are negative, instead of being given a list of things you need to start doing.

Fun listen when you're feeling down
Sometimes you need to learn to laugh at yourself and put into perspective of your own situation. I found the book helpful for me. The narrator was interesting and I enjoyed the book in its entirety. #audible1

Fun but somewhat too sarcastic
Fun listen, I enjoyed it a lot; the 5 straight hours of sarcasm got a little heavy handed by the end.

An attempt at humor comes of as condescending.
It tries to make light of a serious issue using humor, but falls flat. Not only does it not effectively address the issue it's attempting to, it's not particularly funny either.
The whole thing just comes off as condescending, and whatever good advice is burried in here is obscured by the misguided attempt at sarcasm.
