Sometimes, you read a book that just makes you happy over and over again, and you are always excited to pick it up, and you regularly laugh out loud while reading it. Then you get so into it that you decide to try doing exactly what the author does in the book for a couple days. Then you forget in about 10 minutes and get off track. Oh, and THEN! Then you decide to watch the Jim Carrey movie that was "inspired" by the book you are enjoying so much, and you're mad. You're mad because the movie is dumb, and has absolutely nothing in common with the book, other than the title.

So, if you've seen the movie but not read the book, that really sucks for you! You should do it the other way around. Read the book and skip the movie. And skip Jim Carrey entirely, because really, do people actually think he is funny? I honestly have never been entertained by him in my life. And he was in a committed (but unmarried) relationship to what's her face - the weird blonde who insists vaccinations are turning all children into autistic dead kids - oh, Jenny McCarthy - I knew it'd come to me! - and she used to call him her "husband", but say that marriage was unnecessary and they were committed to each other forever and always, just without the meaningless marital paperwork crap. Well, I am pleased to announced they broke up last spring. Strangely, people who do that unnecessary paperwork of marriage seem to have better luck than those who don't. Hmmm.


But back to the book! I loved it. I give it 5 stars because he reminded me of A.J. Jacobs and Jennifer Traig, two very funny nonfiction authors that I love. The dude says "yes" to everything. He signs up for anything he's asked to help with, goes to any party, goes places he is only invited to out of politeness, travels the world, buys internet spam products, takes new jobs, etc, etc... Like I said, I would vow to try the whole "yes" thing for a day or two, but I would totally forget after a few minutes each time. Plus it's not really fair to do the "yes" thing when you have a 1 and 3 year old living with you. We would have donuts for dinner and run down the street naked. Then we would watch Spongebob Squarepants for 9 hours straight.

However, say yes more. Say yes all the time! Say yes and write a bestselling book about it! That is great advice. I highly recommend this awesome book. Yes. Read it.
