I was on aplane next to a husband and wife and the wife was reading, no joke, " How to forgive your husband's infidelity." The husband was wearing a tie with cartoon characters on it.

I am one of the others of how an idiot writes a self-hep book ...

I had fun writing it but it is really pointless.

I was in middle of reading one of a million stupid self-help books, when I just took out my laptop and started typing out my frustration.

A friend of mine had similar feelings, and he started typing too.

We decided to publish it for fun.

There are more spelling and grammar mistakes than you can imagine.

But hey, one day I hope to make back the money it cost to publish it. Spread the word.

Add The Four Hour Work Week to your list. A Slacker's Guide to Deceiving Yourself and Others would have been a better title.

And it's a freakin' best seller!
