"Hilarious in its complete embrace of a faith-over-substance approach to success and wealth, Gary’s Guide to Life will have readers cringing and laughing at this witty send-up of the Self-Help aisle. If you’re a fan of Dr. Phil types and take your self-help gurus seriously, you might not appreciate this rollicking satire. For everyone else, you’ll want to step in and give Gary a good shake for being so very blind to what’s blatantly obvious to the reader, but you’ll also root for him to succeed at being successful because he is so endearingly naive."
--Lynne Hinkey, Underground Book Reviews
"...this is a wonderfully witty and at times utterly hilarious take on all those worthy self-help guides that clog the relationships, counselling and psychology-themed shelves of our bookstores .... Michael Nabavian and Phil Wall are what we Brits like to call ‘Comedy Gold’..."
--Colin Garrow, author and playwright

Synopsis

Most people would give anything to be as successful as Gary imagines he's going to be. In his book, Gary aims to put that dream within your reach by unveiling the strategies that are going to lift him out of ordinariness and set him – and you – on course for phenomenal success.
