HOW TO WIN AT EVERYTHING: EVEN THINGS YOU CAN’T OR SHOULDN’T TRY TO WIN AT

Book ID/图书代码： 08900011B50759

English Summary/英文概要： An indispensable irreference guide for securing victory in every conceivable contest, in the vein of The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook, Schott’s Original Miscellany, and the works of John Hodgman. Every short chapter (e.g. “Breaking a Horse,” “Giving Birth,” “Hiding Your Illiteracy”) is comprised of bulleted lists, handy diagrams, step-by-step instructions, and necessary minutiae containing all the pertinent (mis)information required for mastery of the subject. Overflowing with historical, practical, and scientific inaccuracies, the book’s deadpan tone purports it to be nothing less than entirely factual. How to Win at Everything is not a straightforward guide to achieving victory, but rather a rich garden of knowledge from which success will inevitably blossom. By heeding this book’s advice—and pledging to burn every other book on their shelves—readers of How to Win at Everything will learn absolutely nothing, but will laugh out loud on each and every page.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 这是一本不可或缺的指南，教你如何在任何一场可以想象得到的比赛中获得胜利，风格有点类似于《在世界最糟糕环境下生存手册》，《斯考特的原创文集》和John Hodgman的作品。每一个章节都是由清晰的列表，方便的图表，循序渐进的指示和所有关于掌握这项技能的细节提示组成的。本书的措辞故作严肃，称自己所说的全部都是事实，它并不是一本简单的教你如何获得胜利的指导，而是传授给你丰富的知识，那成功便会自己发生了。听从这本书所给的建议，不要去想别的，每一页的阅读都会让你大笑不已。(兼职翻译-XAT)

Awards/获奖情况："This charming little how-to guide by Chicago-based comedy writers Kibblesmith and Weiner makes a great gift for the clueless and unaccomplished friends in your life (let’s face it, you have plenty of those!). Before you have the chance to gift-wrap it for them, it’s worth thumbing through yourself. "-Flavorwire

Daniel Kibblesmith and Sam Weiner are comedy performers and successful copywriters. They began collaborating as two of the earliest employees of Groupon.com, where they helped define the offbeat copywriting and absurdist tone that has won the company press and praise. “Part group purchasing site and part den of neo-Dadaists, Groupon itself obliterates binaries,” says The New York Times, adding “If good advertising is supposed to be memorable, this is very good.” Their work for Groupon has also been cited by Forbes, The Atlantic, and The Wall Street Journal, and influential blog TechCrunch called one example of their work “The Funniest Product F.A.Q. Ever.” Among their websites are http://kibblesmith.tumblr.com/bio.
