Więcej o książce

"The Age of Nice is at hand, and there's nothing we can do about it." Yet, Edwin de Valu, a luckless book editor, feels compelled to act against this new era, believing he is to blame. Struggling in the self-help publishing world, he has pinned his hopes on a questionable thousand-page manuscript with the mantra "Live! Love! Learn!" This book, promising wealth, weight loss, and happiness, unexpectedly becomes a massive hit, leading to a cascade of problems for Edwin. He faces threats from a murderous cartel of drug and tobacco lords and navigates a world where negativity and cynicism are outlawed. Edwin finds himself tasked with saving the world from the oppressive cheerfulness of the "group hug." As the economy teeters on the brink and a vengeful serial killer known as Dr. Ethics lurks, Edwin races against time. This razor-sharp satire of the self-help industry reveals that the paths to happiness often lead to a dead end, humorously illustrating the absurdity of modern optimism. Despite the bleak realization, the novel’s zany wit leaves readers feeling joyfully alive, transforming a critique of self-help culture into a celebration of life’s absurdities.
