Publisher's summary

488 Rules for Life is not a self-help book, because it's not you who needs help, it's other people. Whether they're walking and texting, asphyxiating you on public transport with their noxious perfume cloud, or leaving one useless square of toilet paper on the roll, a lot of people just don't know the rules.

But thanks to Kitty Flanagan's comprehensive guide to modern behaviour, our world will soon be a much better place. A place where people don't ruin the fruit salad by putting banana in it...where your co-workers respect your olfactory system and don't reheat their fish curry in the office microwave...where middle-aged men don't have ponytails....

What started as a joke on Kitty Flanagan's popular segment on ABC TV's The Weekly is now a quintessential reference book with the power to change society. (Or, at least, make it a bit less irritating.)

What people are (Kitty Flanagan is) saying about this book:

'You're welcome everyone.'

'Thank god for me.'

'I'd rather be sad and lonely, but right.'

'There's not actually 488 rules in here but it sure feels like it'.

Smiled and laughed through the whole book!

Kitty sees the humor in being human. She gives a wonderful observation of our lives and how to get through cohabitation with people we meet, work with, and live with every day.

Comforted in my judging nature

I mean “judging” in the kindest way.

Kitty Flanagan’s pitch-perfect pithy humor came onto my radar in her Netflix series, “Fisk”.

She is a master storyteller.

Her honest thoughts and viewpoints are quirky incidental bugaboos that plague a lot of folks.

She freakin’ calls situations and behavior out for what they are.

Airplanes? WEAR HEADPHONES.
YOU. AND YOUR KIDS.

All-around stellar listen. Will listen again.

I love you, Kitty Flanagan. You own your annoyances. I will too now. Thank you.

1/1/70 ❤️
