A group effort by four of the funniest people writing books today, it evokes both nervous laughter (for what we recognize in ourselves) and happy superiority (because we can't believe anyone could do that). For example:\u003cbr\u003eLook how long the French live. \u003cbr\u003eAll of this shopping is good for the economy.\u003cbr\u003eThis doesn't really count as sex.\u003cbr\u003eI'm earning frequent-flyer miles.\u003cbr\u003eVideo games are good for my kid's motor skills. \u003cbr\u003ePicasso didn't do his best work until he was 70.\u003cbr\u003eHe'll just spend it on liquor.\u003cbr\u003eI only smoke at parties.\u003cbr\u003eAnd, of course, the universal: Everybody does it.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Workman Publishing","offers":[{"title":"9780761116363","offer_id":21422949319,"sku":"9780761116363","price":5.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1210\/1100\/products\/9780761116363.jpg?v=1541539520","url":"https:\/\/workman-feed-prod.myshopify.com\/products\/rationalizations-to-live-by","provider":"zzz_Workman Publishing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
