I don't normally review a book before I've finished reading it, but this is one of those times. I would place it on the top of my list of books everyone must read, but for two reasons I won't: First of all, because I don't think most people need any more help being assholes one look at social media will show you this is true. Secondly, I want to be top asshole, so if I could buy up every copy of this, kidnap Mr. Kihn, and keep the secrets of assholery all to myself, I would. But since I don't I don't normally review a book before I've finished reading it, but this is one of those times.

But since I don't want to be in prison and become someone else's asshole, I think I'll just leave a stellar review and keep it at that. Now for the next half of the book!

This strange, semi-parodic business self-help memoir from author and journalist Kihn formerly of Spy magazine details the writer's attempt to throw off, at age 40, the nice-guy habits that were killing him "defects like consideration, politeness, giving a fuck what you think" and discover the winning Asshole within.

After setting some ground rules "Things I Would Not Do," including substance abuse, adultery and smiling , Kihn finds himself a role model "the Nemesis," a classic jerk at the office , a life coach typical advice: Laying out his narrative in ten steps, Kihn's "experiments" take him into the boxing ring, through dog training, into public confrontation and, naturally, toward wisdom, success and happiness.

Kihn is generally funny, especially in goofy asides like "Meditation for Assholes" affirmations include "I constantly feel a nameless dread which inspires me" , but, in keeping with the theme, he's often crude. Whether it works, ultimately, will depend on one's reaction to the ending, in which Kihn Learns a Valuable Lesson. Like an above-average Adam Sandler movie, this mix of racy humor and overt sentiment will probably get both a bigger audience, and less credit, than it deserves.

Thought it takes an asshole to move forward only to realize that it adds no real value in the end, which is kinda the point the author is trying to illustrate. Jul 03, Brandon Dees rated it really liked it. Quite entertaining, and a bit inspiring. Reminds me a bit of Fight Club. Although the punch is pulled a bit in the end, I found myself working out my own inner asshole and becoming more dominant and assertive. Nice Guy" people like me who are prone to getting walked over.

Apr 15, Sherry marked it as to-read. I just read an interesting interview with this author about his book.

It looks funny, satirical, and maybe even practical. Feb 02, White House Public Library added it. Overall I rate this an interesting read. I definitely enjoyed the first half of the book the most, but even in the second half Kihn pulls you in to his saga to such an extent that you have to see it through, even if you don't like what you are seeing. At first, the story seems improbable, if not impossible, that a meek milktoast of a person turns his life around and becomes successful and rich just be being a jerk.

Kihn does a very good job of taking the reader through the transition, and the tra Overall I rate this an interesting read. Kihn does a very good job of taking the reader through the transition, and the transformation is understandable and believable. At first the reader roots for the underdog, and the obnoxious things he does seem justified against those who would cause him distress. It's when he becomes a jerk for no reason and against innocent people that the reader may find themselve losing their investment in him but still fascinated with the journey.

I actually finished this book, which I am quite surprised about. It was tough to get through - and I can already tell you, the little plot twist at the end is NOT worth it wasting precious time of your life over. I got the title as a recommendation by a friend of mine who loves this book - and I know it is only because of those ten pages at the end that she even liked the book.
