• 1 recommendation ❤️
In her book Self-Inflicted Wounds, comedian, actress, and cohost of CBS’s daytime hit show The Talk, Aisha Tyler recounts a series of epic mistakes and hilarious stories of crushing personal humiliation, and the personal insights and authentic wisdom she gathered along the way. The essays in Self-Inflicted Wounds are refreshingly and sometimes brutally honest, surprising, and laugh-out-loud funny, vividly translating the brand of humor Tyler has cultivated through her successful standup career, as well as the strong voice and unique point of view she expresses on her taste-making comedy podcast Girl on Guy. Riotous, revealing, and wonderfully relatable, Aisha Tyler’s Self-Inflicted Wounds: Heartwarming Tales of Epic Humiliation is about the power of calamity to shape life, learning, and success.
In this rowdy collection of pop culture essays, Aisha Tyler brings her razor-sharp wit and sweet irreverence to bear on everything from light beer, dating strategies, and music videos to women’s self-image, the Ms. Foundation, and Sun Tzu’s The Art of War. Both comical and scathing, Aisha uses hilarious stories from her own life to investigate the mysteries of platonic friendship between men and women, compare male and female strip-club behavior, and answer, once and for all, whether size matters. Swerve is fresh, ambitious, and shocking—a “Gordian knot” of pop culture observations that will fascinate and engage postmodern girls and guys alike.
