488 Rules for Life: The Thankless Art of Being Correct

Despite what Jordan Peterson says, there are more than twelve rules for life . . . a lot more. Thankfully, you now have this witty guide to remedy every annoying little thing society throws at you. 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, people just don´t know the rules. But now, thanks to Australian comedian Kitty Flanagan´s comprehensive guide to modern behavior, 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 refrain from reheating 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.)
