About this listen

WARNING: Listening to this book may result in uncontrollable laughter, unexpected self-awareness, and the irreversible urge to become a better human.

Are you tired of personal growth?

Sick of TED Talks telling you to “be authentic” and “listen with empathy”?

Wouldn’t you rather bulldoze your way through life with charisma, condescension, and a complete disregard for boundaries?

Then this is the book for you.

How to Lose Friends and Infuriate People is the definitive anti-self-help guide for anyone who’s ever:

Interrupted a meeting just to make it about them

Micromanaged a team into total paralysis Given an “honest” insult and called it feedback

Ghosted someone, then blamed their “energy” Won every argument—and lost every relationship

This book is a satirical, laugh-out-loud playbook for how to repel, annoy, and alienate just about everyone in your life—all while thinking you’re crushing it. Each chapter offers terrible advice with frightening accuracy, teaching you how to dominate conversations, kill morale, and lead like an emotionally stunted tyrant.

But here’s the twist: it’s all on purpose.

Underneath each biting, hilarious chapter lies a deeper truth—about trust, humility, emotional intelligence, and the real behaviors that earn respect instead of demand it. Think of it as a reverse masterclass: a guide to all the ways we go wrong… and how to finally do it right.

You’ll learn:

Why “being brutally honest” usually means “being lazy and rude”

How blaming everyone else makes you the actual problem

The difference between leadership and control (hint: it’s not volume)
