If there’s one book that can give a clear, interesting and, most important of all, satisfying answer to anyone’s burning questions like ‘How do you stop crying over your onions?’ or ‘What’s the best way to get ketchup out of a bottle?’, then it’s this book. It provides researched solutions that are funny but detailed accompanied with a diagram.
To top that, it always includes useful facts which you are sure to use in your day-to-day life.
There are many topics, ranging from work and career to leisure and sport to technology.
This is an amazing book that deserves to be re-read and, well, it’s just plain GREAT!
