About this listen

From Jimmy Kimmel Live! co-head writer Danny Ricker comes a satirical self-help manifesto for parents on the brink of despair, guaranteed to get you back the three things parenting takes from us all: our time, money, and mind.

You used to be a person. A real one—with hobbies, expendable income, and sex that was at least semi-annual. But then you had kids, and the more you became a parent, the less you became yourself. You love your children deeply, but most days you feel like nothing more than their service animal. That ends today ( ... just the second part. You can still love your kids.)

Wow, You Look Terrible! is a beacon of hope to beleaguered parents across the globe. The revolutionary child-rearing techniques within will teach you how to:

  • Save money on soccer by having your child join a cult
  • Throw your kid’s entire birthday party in 17 minutes flat
  • Get shredded abs while pulling your toddler out of a bounce house
  • Rid your life of the Easter Bunny once and for all
  • And much, much more

With illustrations, personal stories from the author, and a foreword by four-time father and beloved late-night scamp Jimmy Kimmel, this book will take you down the righteous path of parenting less and living more.

Available in Dolby Atmos on Audible.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Parenting isn’t easy—let’s be honest, it’s a test of patience for even the most seasoned parents. This book nails the chaos of child-rearing with a humorous and satirical twist that every parent will relate to. I found myself laughing out loud more than once, especially at the author’s witty "solutions" to common parenting dilemmas. It’s the kind of book that’s perfect for Mother’s Day or Father’s Day, but honestly, any parent would appreciate it year-round. It’s a quick, enjoyable read, balancing dark humor with just the right touch of levity. Highly recommend it!

Love that this is read by the author! He does a great job, it’s hard to believe this is his first time narrating an audiobook.

The sound effects and other unique features really made this stand out from other audiobooks. I listened while I was doing housework and I was cracking up the entire time. My favorite parts were the bath time flow chart (very clever how they adapted it to audio format) and “Chaos Meditation”. A really funny and fresh take on parenting!

Such an enjoyable parenting book. The personal stories and references made me laugh a bunch. The whole thing is very relatable. You come away from some parenting books feeling like you have all this work to do, but this book has good takeaways and leaves you feeling a little lighter.

So funny and leaves you feeling better about the hard job of parenting

There is very little to like about it. What works good for a one line joke on a talk show, is not enogh to sustain a book.
