  Finally, a philosophy book that won't make you contemplate throwing yourself into the abyss! " WHAT THE HELL" tears into Ludwig Wittgenstein—history's most insufferable genius—with savage wit and zero academic pretension. 
  Journey through the mind-bending contradictions of a trust-fund philosopher who claimed to solve all philosophical problems (twice!), while making everyone around him miserable. Discover how a man who couldn't maintain a single healthy relationship somehow revolutionized our understanding of language, meaning, and communication. 
  From his early days writing numbered lists so pretentious they make Instagram influencers look humble, to his later career interrupting people to tell them they're using words wrong, this book exposes Wittgenstein in all his paradoxical glory. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll question whether language has any meaning at all—just like Ludwig wanted! 
  Whether you're a philosophy student desperately seeking comic relief, or simply enjoy watching neurotic geniuses get thoroughly roasted, this irreverent guide proves that even the most profound philosophical insights can come from someone you'd absolutely hate to be seated next to at dinner. Warning: Reading this book in public may cause uncontrollable snorting in libraries and concerned looks from serious academics.

  Comedian Claudia Stavola understands we’re living in sensitive times and the word hate is controversial, so she doesn’t use it loosely. She only uses it for serious infractions like gender reveal parties, guys who wear shorts when it’s forty below, and Gwyneth Paltrow’s vagina candle.  
  You’ll be thoroughly entertained and in awe of how Stavola’s raucous sarcasm mirrors your inner most thoughts in this hilarious collection of easy-to-read essays. With her witty and insightful observations, she’s like a modern-day George Carlin, except hairier. (Hey, she’s Italian. She was born with a mustache). 
  100 Things to Hate Before You Die is astute, honest, and laugh-out-loud funny. Claudia shares her aggravation over a range of topics from mundane things like Fakebook, crappy gift-givers, and ukuleles on talent show auditions, to more thought-provoking topics such as people with no shame, the need for a license to parent, and the death of Eddie Van Halen.  
  Delivered with razor-sharp force, Stavola’s hysterical and unique takes on everyday a**holes makes this not only a great read for comedy lovers, but a must-read.
