About this listen
Congratulations! You may already be a master of modern friendship sabotage.
Hilarious, biting, and oddly soul-soothing, How to Lose Friends and Resent People is your satirical survival guide to all the messy ways we accidentally destroy relationships—while swearing it's “self-care.” Think of it as the evil twin of Dale Carnegie’s timeless classic, How to Win Friends and Influence People—only with more ghosting, subtweets, and microwave fish in office kitchens.
Inside this laugh-out-loud manifesto, you’ll learn:
- How to weaponize memories and keep score like a petty champion
- Why ghosting is easier than emotional maturity (but also way lonelier)
- How backhanded compliments can turn brunch into battlefield
- The fine art of vague social media cries for help
- What your “boundaries” are really hiding (spoiler: it’s fear of intimacy)
Fans of:
- The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fck* by Mark Manson
- You're Not That Great (but Neither is Anyone Else) by Elan Gale
- Surrounded by Idiots by Thomas Erikson
- How to Be Perfect by Michael Schur
Perfect for:
- Recovering people-pleasers with a dark sense of humor
- Petty queens and kings looking for a redemption arc
- Anyone who's ever said “I'm fine” but meant “start the intervention”
Warning: This book may cause unexpected self-awareness, spontaneous apologies, and the urge to send a “Hey, I’ve been a jerk” text at 2:00 AM. Side effects may include healthier relationships, emotional intelligence, and being... slightly less terrible.
