"His craft, and what makes him such an inspired and singular voice, is to make it look easy... That it's decidedly not that easy is part of the gag; writing this funny requires immense talent." --AV Club "It's that voice ... Had me laughing out loud." --The New York Times "Benjamin's stories run the gamut from personal to professional and will leave you laughing out loud and embracing your own failures." --HelloGiggles "Benjamin's unique take on the classic 'fail until you succeed' self-help industry looks to be as self-deprecating and absurd as his best work." --Brightest Young Things "Irreverent, edgy and hilarious...recommend to all who need a respite from stress and a good laugh." --Booklist "Benjamin is up-front and funny as he recounts his unsuccessful launch of a kids' late-night TV talk show (tentative title: 'Midnight Pajama Jam') and documents his parental shortcomings (bad idea: babysitting an infant in a video arcade). Yet failure 'doesn't mean the end of something, ' Benjamin writes. 'Often, it's a springboard toward something better.' He delivers these and other words to live by with concision, wit and a stand-up's sense of timing." --Book Page "Thank you for sending me a copy of the book." --Amy Poehler "Will try and get a quote back to you soon." --David Cross Automatic reply: Anderson is out of his office from December 21-22. For urgent requests, please email [redacted]. --Anderson Cooper "Dream big and tomorrow will be brighter." --Quotes.com "Believe in yourself and others will follow." --Inspirationalquotes.com
