488 Rules for Life: The Thankless Art of Being Correct

“Rule no. 1: Buy this book, laugh out loud, become a better person.” —Jason Alexander 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 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.)
