NSFW Book Review: Everything is Your Fault by Stephan James

Between the Spreadsheets alternates between philosophical musings and satirical articles that are generally clean. For proof that actuarial humor can walk through the mire and be as lewd as your drunk uncle Roger, we present a review of Everything is your Fault, a series of parody advice columns from an actuary writing under a nom de plume. 




It’s about time the world heard the ranting voice of a self righteous middle aged white dude who’s got it all figured out!

Dear Abbey can finally go back to something productive like washing dishes and let a real pro dish out the advice people really need.

Forget the coddling ‘you are a valuable human being’ Oprah bullshit. SJ renders the truth in a manner that would make Joe Rogan’s crotch swell, calling out folks who should stop contributing to the gene pool, and offering advice people will actually take, punctuated with the prolific prose of a pretentious pubescent with a potty mouth.

Change lifestyle or life philosophy? Don’t bet on it. Instead use one of SJ’s solutions like cutting off a limb to lose weight or poisoning your deadbeat neighbor with a radioactive isotope. That’s what our fellow humans would prefer to do anyway - just read the news, especially in Florida.


This collection of advice pieces would be great in any therapists office, place of worship, or any other place morons look for meaning (the local vegan cafe perhaps?).


At home you can make it your prominent bathroom reader and have a multidimensional shitacular. You get to enjoy SJ taking a dump onto other’s crap piles while you yourself are unloading last nights wings and fries into the porcelain throne. It’ll fit well in the rotation between Revolver Weekly and your jerk rag of preference. 


And perhaps, if you squint close enough, you might find some worthwhile commentary on the human condition. Kind of like making the argument that deep fried vegetables are a positive nutritional choice. 


If you enjoy the life philosophies of Adam Sandler, have cut blow with your credit card,  or voted for Bernie while wearing a MAGA hat, this book is right up your alley. Two middle fingers way up!
