About this listen

This is a self-help book like no other. Because you are not helping yourself, James Acaster is helping you.

When James quit all forms of social media in 2019, he felt like he'd been born anew, but he was worried he'd suffer withdrawal and get lured back online to compete in a never-ending popularity contest with only one possible winner (f--king Zuckerberg). He knew that in order to stay clean, he'd have to replace everything social media used to give him with three-dimensional real-life activities.

And so it was that James found ways to anonymously bully strangers, see photos of everyone's dogs, get invited to as many parties as possible, immediately know about all celebrity deaths, get public figures fired, argue with everybody about everything and so much more without even owning a phone (he painted over the screen of his old one to stop himself looking at Instagram).

His life is amazing and yours could be too if you buy James Acaster's Guide to Quitting Social Media, Being the Best You You Can Be and Saving Yourself from Loneliness Vol. 1.

Fuckin brilliant!

This man never ceases to amaze me. Live, print and audio, he always tugs at my funny heart bone. I’m on my second listen and just ordered the paperback to mark up. My forever comedian crush because his clever brain is beautiful and he’s easy on my eyes. 🖤

Hilarious

Audiobook was the way to go with this one. Hearing this book in James Acaster's voice felt like a 6-hour version of his standup.

Brilliant

I’m certain he’s a comic genius. His books and comedy just make life better. His narration is also fantastic.

Utterly Absurd!

Huge James Acaster fan here, this book made me laugh aloud and also question why this was made. It really is just made up stories, which after seeing interviews with James I have a better appreciation of the book on the whole. I kinda like that he's in a position to do something like this.

Ridiculous, brilliant, nonsense

All I could have hoped for and more. So much ridiculousness and so clever. Made me LOL while running, which made people around me LOL in return - spreading the happiness!

A+ it worked for me!

Brilliant, informative, and thorough; I was skeptical at first, but stuck it through and the results were amazing. Highly recommend.

Help yourself be helped by his help

Acaster has done it- he's written the Great American Novel.
Finally, a self help book that works instantly! I used to be just like you: absolutely lame. But now, with the advice from this life changing book, I've turned a new leaf! It has everything: dumb babies, smart babies, tar, eels, an older man for a pen pal, balls fully inflated with honey, catering, and much much more! After taking this advice to the face for a solid 7 hours, I finally feel ready to take back control of my life, and to blossom into the best me I can be, privately, where no one can see me or judge me or speak to me or perceive me or speak my name (Rumplestiltskin style).
Thank you, James Acaster. You've changed some lives today.

Hilarious and insightful

I love everything James Acaster does and this book was wonderful. Whimsical, absurd, clever and insightful. Perfectly performed. A joy!

All the James Acaster I Can Handle

Full disclosure: I think James Acaster is hilarious and when I have the time I watch his comedy on YouTube and NetFlix. The book is all read by Mr. Acaster and that is very fun. It is creative and has genuine messages woven in which made the book more enjoyable for me. However, it is not full of his witty repertoire when he interacts with other comedians and I found that I much prefer that form of his humor. This was an easy listen and I was done with it before I knew it.
