Everyone You Hate Is Going to Die: And Other Comforting Thoughts on Family, Friends, Sex, Love, and More Things That Ruin Your Life csv One of this generation's hottest and boldest young comedians presents a transgressive and hilarious analysis of all of our dysfunctional relationships, and attempts to point us in the vague direction of sanity. Okay, let me start this review by letting you know that the human being who wrote this book is my favorite comedian and I can confidently rank him in the top 10 of my fav people ever (people who make me laugh even if they don't know me tend to rank higher on the list, I don't care about love, make me laugh) PS: I'll probably spend the review talking about Daniel Sloss and not the book in itself.

Secondly, This book technically comes under self-help genre and honestly I am not a big fan of the genre and this is gonna be the only book I would read in this genre (unless Sloss or Gervais or Jeselnik wrote a book). One might question, why do I love Daniel Sloss this much? Genius comedian: to make you laugh but then after a few days you find yourself still thinking about his analogies and jokes because some shit he said was more than laughs. (JK It's the dark humor...) Honestly, my huge respect for Daniel Sloss comes from his Show X, which made me laugh my ass off and then cry myself to sleep. Touring the show more than 300 times in a span of a year to make sure the message gets out there is something that I appreciate dearly. But then I watched his other shows and it was my first time seeing someone using the same dark jokes and being honest about his shitty thoughts and that allowed me to be more true to myself I think. I mean, seriously, y'all--I was snorking laughing. If I were one to guffaw, I would've been guffawing.

Specific generational experience and perspectives come through clearly, articulately expressed with his own curse-sprinkled voice and clear-headed wisdom. There's a reflective sensitivity. A stonking light touch that sees Sloss re-visit the heavier topics from his shows of death, family, betrayal, relationships, and sexual assault - in an uncompromising and fiercely loyal fashion. He doesn’t flinch from the difficulty, and it’s richer for it. To paraphrase the Legend himself: If you’ve seen Daniel Sloss’s stand-up specials you’ll notice they fall under a very similar format. He tells some jokes and legally fulfills his obligations as a comedian, and then towards the end he does a sad 15 minute TED talk. He talks about serious subjects with a level of maturity only seen in Golden Retrievers. One of this generation’s hottest and boldest young comedians presents a transgressive and hilarious analysis of all of our dysfunctional relationships, and attempts to point us in the vague direction of sanity.

Loneliness is like most things in the world: You have to practice it to get good at it. Sometimes being alone is utter bliss. Once you get used to being alone, relationships really have to go out of their way to interest you. If you want to be in a relationship with me, you have to be better than being single." An insider’s account of the rampant misconduct within the Trump administration, including the tumult surrounding the insurrection of Jan. 6, 2021. In the first book from one of this generation's hottest and boldest young comedians, Daniel Sloss presents a transgressive and hilarious analysis of all of our dysfunctional relationships, and attempts to point us in the vague direction of sanity. It's hardly surprising that it's seamless as Sloss has plundered his shows as a rich content seam here – particularly Jigsaw, Dark, and X. No bad thing considering the acclaim and thought that went into each of them, as well as the hot topics that continue to be relevant. The lads chapter is discouraging. It’s like he *sees* toxic masculinity, and even uses the term, but he doesn’t really quite have the self awareness to see how his behavior perpetuates it. In another uncomfortable section, he talks about a male friend whom he believes committed sexual assault; this is also a really tough section to listen to because it’s painfully earnest and, to my way of thinking, he draws all the wrong conclusions: he pathologizes this person and makes them into a monster, missing the broader culpability of rape culture. It’s just not a problem Sloss can solve by ostracizing one dude and deciding there was always something funny about him anyway so that’s all dealt with. Politics aside, it seems like something he’s struggling with, and it’s uncomfortable to watch him process it in the context of a banter-y book.

Success!

He does remind us that the book only contains his opinions, but i think he still has a lot of work to do to express these without sounding condescending or all-knowing (I'm talking here of course about the parts where he is serious, not when he is obviously sarcastic). Again this comes down to not being a writer - I find the one-hour special the perfect format for him to get his message across with a perfect delivery, but this train-of-thought no ending essay format is too much for him, I find.
