Thinking About It Only Makes It Worse (And Other Lessons From Modern Life)

"There are two different famous David Mitchells — there’s David Mitchell the novelist and David Mitchell the actor/comedian/panel show guest/columnist/writer. This book is written by the latter Mitchell, who is witty, clever, insightful and continually flustered by modern life. He’s a British Robert Benchley, if you will. He questions and pokes at modern platitudes in a fun, mocking way — from a defense of the British habit of apologizing to a cynical analysis of the ways we spend our time and money."
