Summary
Random House presents the audiobook edition of F*** You Very Much, written and read by Danny Wallace.
You're not imagining it. People are getting ruder. And this is a serious problem.
The book that inspired the iTunes Top Ten podcast
Did you know that even one rude comment in a life and death situation can decrease a surgeon’s performance by as much as 50%? That we say we don’t want rude politicians, but we vote for them anyway? Or that rude language can sway a jury in a criminal case?
Bestselling writer and broadcaster Danny Wallace (Yes Man, Awkward Situations For Men), is on a mission to understand where we have gone wrong. He travels the world interviewing neuroscientists, psychologists, NASA scientists, barristers, bin men, and bellboys. He joins a Radical Honesty group in Germany, talks to drivers about road rage in LA, and confronts his own online troll in a pub.
And in doing so, he uncovers the latest thinking about how we behave, how rudeness, once unleashed, can spread like a virus – and how even one flippant remark can snowball into disaster.
As insightful and enthralling as it is highly entertaining, F*** You Very Much* is an eye-opening exploration into the worst side of human behaviour.
*This book was originally published under the title, I Can’t Believe You Just Said That. But we decided it just wasn’t rude enough...
"A cry for human decency… deliciously hilarious. I politely encourage you to read this book. Immediately." Adam Grant author of Originals, Give and Take, Option B

Insightful and hilarious!
I love the way Danny Wallace narrates. It’s a fascinating insight into something that effects us daily, without us realising it’s insidious nature. All delivered with great humour. An unusual and interesting topic for a book. Highly recommend.

Danny Wallace is Fantastic
Not my favourite, and I hate to say also a little dull in parts, but Danny’s narration is terrific.

Funny and interesting.
This is my first encounter with Danny’s work and I really enjoyed it. It was both funny and interesting and I would recommend it. I look forward to checking out more of his books.

impressive study and social analysis
This feels like a scientific document, should be mandatory in schools maybe. Since I read it I paid more attention to rude people, how it affects me and how rude I appear to others.
Hopefully there will be another book by the same author on study of politeness and kindness and it's effects on people.

Hilarious and informative
Who knew rudeness was so problematic? Danny Wallace is a hilarious writer made even better by his narration. The mind boggles at some of the findings that the research shows hopefully it'll make us all a bit more polite.

Second best audio performer
Danny Wallace is a fantastic narrator (second only to Stephen Fry reading the Harry Potter series). One of the best audio books I've ever listened to and have recommended it to several of my friends already. My only complaint was that it felt cut short. I wanted more!
