The “Poor Me” Manual

Hunter Lewis’s newest title, The “Poor Me” Manual: Perfecting Self-Pity—My Own Story is a tongue-in-cheek look at emotions. There is method in this madness.

The author in earlier books developed a unique theory of emotions and the reader will learn a great deal about which emotional strategies work and which don’t. Included is a guide to 20 different ways people get off the track emotionally.

The chapters lead you through the mysterious author’s 20 different phases, exhausting every imaginable kind of neurotic behavior.

The author finally asks “Do I Want to Be Happy?”—and the voice of the neurotic author answers emphatically, “No!”

This is fun reading as well as an interesting new approach explaining how people make mistakes with their lives and how they can reassess.
