I'm Not OK and You're Not OK Either

by Susan F. Young

I'M NOT OK AND YOU'RE NOT OK EITHER - The Neurotic's Handbook

Somewhere on this planet there are people who are completely sane and totally secure. People who are perennially cheerful, well-balanced, and untroubled by anxieties or fears.

If you have ever

~ Found yourself talking to your oven

~ Listened in on the answering machine (holding your breath)

~ Eaten an entire packet of biscuits and then hidden the wrapper in the dustbin next door

~ Refused to come out of the bathroom because your nose was too big

~ Turned down the perfect holiday because it meant getting on a plane

~ Driven four miles out of your way to avoid going over a flyover

~ Sent someone three Christmas cards because you couldn't remember if you sent one or not

~ or insisted on walking up twelve flights of stairs because you had 'a feeling' about the lift

you are not one of those perfect people. (There were about three at the last count.) You are one of the others. One of the millions of normal but neurotic people who skulk through life, riddled with doubts and insecurities. And who know, only too well, that in this world, if you're not worried, you're most probably out of your mind. This book is for you.

Dare to be the nervous wreck you really are!

Me recordó a Buenos días, Pereza, porque un presunto observador intelectualmente privilegiado quiere contarte los secretos (de la cultura empresarial francesa el primero, de la mente del neurótico este que nos ocupa) pero al final solo salen un montón de quejas amargas. No me convenció, no me resultó divertido.
