Publisher's summary

This program is read by Joe Pera

A Bathroom Book for People Not Pooping or Peeing But Using the Bathroom as an Escape by Joe Pera is a funny, warm, and sincere guide to regaining calm and confidence when you're hiding in the bathroom.

Joe Pera goes to the bathroom a lot. And his friend, Joe Bennett, does too. They both have small bladders but more often it’s just to get a moment of quiet, a break from work, or because it’s the only way they know how to politely end conversations.

So they created a functional meditative guide to help people who suffer from social anxiety and deal with it in this very particular way. Although, it’s a comedic audiobook, the goal is to help these listeners:

1. Relax
2. Recharge
3. Rejoin the world outside of the bathroom

It’s also fun entertainment for people simply hiding in the bathroom to avoid doing work.

A Bathroom Book for People Not Pooping or Peeing But Using the Bathroom as an Escape is for anxious listeners looking to feel calm, confident, and less alone.

“A thing of beauty. On or off the John.” (Alia Shawkat)

Wholesome

Joe Pera does it with this one. A really good one to hear, and oddly inspiring. A short and lovely listening.

Thoughtful and Hilarious

This hit home to my socially awkward side. He is funny on a different level. Intelligent and thoughtful. This again proves you can be funny and entertaining without being crass and ignorant. I will always recommend his work.

Perfection

This is the definitive experience of this book. The sound design and dulcet tones of Joe Pera's voice can never be matched by just words on a page.

Also good for doing your duty/doodie

Great for escape, using the toilet, or going to sleep. Now you can take Joe with you anywhere.

Wish it was longer...

I love the way Joe Pera rambles in a meandering sort of way. I just wish it was a longer book!

Life changing! Ok maybe not, but it’s very calming

I loved Pera’s unique delivery! It’s very relaxing hearing him talk about strategies he uses to get into the right mood for situations. I found the tip of just repeating a word like ‘Hawaii’ and imagining an island a great simple idea. There’s other great stuff but my favorite is his list of conversation starters at the end that alone makes this a worthy buy.
Plus the book is less then 3$ so I highly recommend it.
