About this listen

Tired of saccharine self-help advice and relentless positivity? Enter Granny Grimshaw Sourwood, the world-weary, hilariously curmudgeonly anti-guru you never knew you needed.

In Granny Grimshaw Sourwood’s Guide to Misery for Others, the inimitable Granny reluctantly shares her hard-won 'wisdom' – a lifetime's worth of cynical strategies for navigating the modern world with minimal effort and maximum personal comfort. Forget finding your bliss; Granny teaches you the practical arts of:

  • Tolerating People: Master relationships by minimizing annoyance and perfecting the art of selective hearing.
  • Career Survival: Learn how to do less, look busy, and cling tenaciously to that comfortable mid-level rung.
  • Strategic Letting Go: Discover the 'wellness' benefits of comfortable chairs, thumb-based cardio (the remote!), and biscuits over kale.
  • Finding Purpose: Realize your true calling might just be perfecting the art of being left gloriously alone.
  • Emotional Weaponry: Harness the power of grudges, sighs, and passive aggression for fun and (no) profit.

Written with biting wit and a complete lack of sentimentality, this is the parody self-help book for anyone who finds traditional life coaching insufferable. It’s packed with darkly humorous insights and indispensable bonus features, including:

  • The "How Effectively Are You Annoying Your Relatives?" Quiz
  • Granny Grimshaw’s Gloomy Affirmations ("Today might be terrible, but tomorrow could be even worse.")
  • Granny's Glossary of expertly redefined terms (Optimism: A failure of imagination.)
  • Side-splittingly bleak testimonials from 'satisfied' readers.

Perfect for fans of dark humor, sarcastic wit, and anyone who secretly believes happiness is overrated and naps are a vital life skill. If you’re ready to swap striving for sighing and embrace your inner grump with disgruntled grace, this is the guide for you. Pick it up, have a laugh, and then, as Granny would say, go away and leave everyone else in peace. As a special bonus you will also have access to the official theme song for the darkly humorous book! Stop trying so hard and embrace your inner curmudgeon with this slice of sarcastic dark cabaret folk. Granny Grimshaw shares her 'wisdom' on tolerating people, avoiding work, and the noble art of being left alone. Perfect for fans of cynical humor and grumpy grace. Based on the book "Granny Grimshaw Sourwood’s Guide to Misery for Others" by Granny Grimshaw Sourwood (as told to Russell D. Nomer). Lyrics and Sheet Music included too.
