What is Your Problem?: Comedy's little ray of sleet grapples with life's major dilemmas

by Jack Dee

Overview

'So funny, and so wise. Just like the man himself' Richard Osman

'I inhaled it. HILARIOUS. So sharp - it really made me laugh' Katherine Ryan

''Morally bankrupt . . . Not a book to be seen on your shelves during a Zoom call' Jo Brand


Jack Dee is here to help. Too often today the emphasis in psychotherapy is on providing clients with a metaphorical hug when what they so clearly need is good slap, so Jack Dee took the matter into his own hands and whilst everyone else was baking bread and clearing out their cupboards during lockdown, he retrained online as a psychotherapist. After an incredibly gruelling four hours of study, he got his certificate of completion from The Ruislip College of Advansed Learning (sic).

So, with his training in hand, he's been expertly helping people with their problems ever since. What is Your Problem? is a compilation of readers' varied problems, be they about relationships, finances, nosey neighbours, coping with Christmas, teenagers or Mike from the accounts department, and Jack's very unique and very professional advice.

What is Your Problem? is a book to turn to when life has taken a downward turn, or you just need a very good laugh.

Editorial Reviews

So funny, and so wise. Just like the man himself—Richard Osman

Morally bankrupt ... Not a book to be seen on your shelves during a zoom call—Jo Brand

Britain's foremost humourist and a compassionate counsellor have both told me Jack doesn't know what he's talking about—Graeme Garden

Funny, sometimes bracing—Spectator, Books of the Year

What Is Your Problem? is indeed very funny, and it's partly because much of Dee's advice is not at all helpful. But what's even better is that sometimes his advice is-albeit inadvertently-genuinely wise and illuminating—Caroline Sanderson, The Bookseller

I recommend you read this. You'll thank me—Barry Cryer

I inhaled it. HILARIOUS. So sharp - it really made me laugh—Katherine Ryan

Jack dispenses advice exactly as you'd want him to: with both hilarious insight and healthy disdain for everyone involve—Romesh Ranganathan

A breath of fresh air—Sun

Timely resurgence of the pull-yourself-together school of therapy—The Times/Sunday Times

Absurd, occasionally useful, and always sardonic—Sunday Express

Morally bankrupt ... Not a book to be seen on your shelves during a zoom call—Jo Brand
