Ten Simple Steps to a Better You is an imaginative collection of humor and satire essays that riff on contemporary culture, sports, art, and politics, with several comic takes on familiar historical events.
The essays include new insights into the making of "The Godfather"; troubling child-raising memories; actual Lewis & Clark satire; a number of stunning new Major League Baseball rules; a pitch for a modern remake of a retro TV sitcom; a phantom shaman who attempts to elevate a downtrodden person’s life; recent historic discoveries related to William Shakespeare; Florida’s new school curriculum guidelines; a symposium conducted by a massively flawed self-help guru; newly discovered Yogi Berra quotes; and a satirical take on modern restaurant reviews.
This hard-hitting, no-holds-barred satirical essay collection will make you think and laugh out loud. Thoughtful, off the rails but always unrelentingly funny, Ten Simple Steps to a Better You targets our everyday aspirations and assumptions, our heroes and our villains.
