Keep Calm for Chaps

My word, it just gets worse and worse doesn't it? Collapsing banks, collapsing countries, massive government cuts, rising debt, inflation and a double dip recession. It's amid all this uncertainty that the already embattled modern man needs the best advice he can get about how to be the best he can.

Keep Calm for Chaps offers the same pearls of life wisdom, inspirational quotes, proverbs and mantras as Keep Calm and Carry On, but especially for males at their wits' end. A pocket bible for today's man.

'Courage is being scared to death - but saddling up anyway' John Wayne

'A gem cannot be polished without friction, nor a man perfected without trials' Lucius Annaeus Seneca

'When a man steals your wife, there is no better revenge than to let him keep her' Sacha Guitry

'Rule number one is, don't sweat the small stuff. Rule number two is, it's all small stuff' Robert Eliot

'If you think your boss is stupid, remember: you wouldn't have a job if he was any smarter' Albert A Grant

Reviews

After the success of their ingenious idea of matching pictures from Ladybird's archive with prose that mocks the mores of modern life, they are bowing out with a bang with this compendium

—— Sunday Telegraph

A new compendium collects together in brief humorous guides to adult life, covering everything from coping with high cholesterol to understanding teenagers, and our favourite, getting on the housing ladder

—— Big Issue

Really smart

—— Gaby Hinsliff , Guardian

From beauty routines and housework expectations to the way mothers are often treated in the workplace, the Man Who Has It All shares expertly flipped one-liners.

—— Stylist

At last, a practical guide to help men stay hydrated and create the illusion of authority in the workplace ... I'd buy a copy for my partner, if only he had the time to read it! Bless him.

—— Slummy Single Mummy

I alternately sniggered and raged my way through this book. Devilishly genius.

—— Caroline Criado-Perez

A simple idea, beautifully executed, which pithily derides the blind eye that allows sexism to become endemic.

—— Richard Herring

For feminism that makes you laugh. Despair, but also laugh.

—— Glosswitch, New Statesman

I simply love @manwhohasitall. Nothing points up the absurdity and inequality of debates about care and career as effectivly as simply putting the shoe on the other foot. Follow him on Twitter and read this book!

—— Anne-Marie Slaughter, President and CEO, New America

Hilarious and eye-opening.

—— Huffington Post

Playfully subversive and long overdue, this book takes those ubiquitous gender stereotypes and grinds them to dust. Very funny indeed.

—— Rebecca Front

Making everyone giggle.

—— New York Post

Perfect satire.

—— Upworthy

If you love satire, you'll love this.

—— Viv Groskop on Woman's Hour

Terrific!

—— Joanne Harris
