Book Description

A handy guide for anyone who wishes to sound pompous, affected and self-obsessed, especially in the alternative, eco-friendly or mind-body-spirit realms. A hilarious antidote to self-developers and social media geeks; a no-holds-barred parody of those navel-gazers and karmic sojourners who may just be taking themselves a little too seriously.

Sample entries:

Beaverweaver: Male who poses as a shaman purely in order to pick up women.

Macroneurotics: An obscure food cult and eating disorder, which came to the West from Japan in the nineteen-fifties, and gained a considerable following among reformed drug dealers in the USA. Macroneurotics holds that food is the only important thing in the Universe. The three main foods, held to be able to create total health, happiness, success, fulfilment and enlightenment, are brown rice with miso soup, brown rice with seaweed, and brown rice on its own.

Mistake: There isn’t any such thing as a mistake there are only ‘learning experiences’.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“A long overdue and authoritative reference work for anyone two squirts short of the full colonic irrigation.” -David Stafford, columnist, the Guardian “I laughed my head off. This is a wonderful look into the ‘New Age’ movement. Tongue-in-Cheek, but cutting through to truths. This is a wonderful time to raise endorphins with a good guffaw.” —The Messenger

In these times when religious faith often hardens into dogmatism and New Thought essays celebrate the paths to prosperity, it is refreshing to have a playful soul poke fun at some of the excessive dimensions of our beliefs and activities. –Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality & Practice
