If you're the type of sicko who enjoys a hilariously talented person debasing herself for your amusement, then Self-Inflicted Wounds is the book for you. -- Andy Richter Self-inflicted wounds are the nastiest, most painful, and most likely to fester. Also the funniest. Aisha brings back every awful, suicidally stupid, shameful, and all-too-familiar episode of a life well lived. Reading this book made me feel a lot better about myself. Prepare to be horrified-and entertained. -- Anthony Bourdain We all do stupid stuff, sometimes on purpose. But rarely do we ever talk about it, let alone publish an in-depth retelling-leave it to Aisha Tyler to help us all feel a little less dumb and a little more connected. -- Seth Green Good God. The Amazon can write. And write well. We are doomed. -- Patton Oswalt One of the most kick-ass women I know, Aisha Tyler hilariously rips herself open and shows you her guts. On the schadenfreude scale, Self-Inflicted Wounds is a ten. -- Felicia Day Aisha Tyler's incredibly vivid stories of going for big air only to land flat on her face (or possibly a rusty spike) are a unique combination of cringe-worthy and inspiring. That she shares these stories makes me love her all the more. -- Bill Burr A beautifully tortured and sick-with-self-consciousness manifesto of regret. I'm equal parts proud and embarrassed for Aisha Tyler, which doesn't get in the way of my loving her. -- Margaret Cho Aisha Tyler is one of the smartest, funniest women I've had the good fortune of meeting. She makes me laugh every time I see her-and this is coming from the guy who thinks women aren't funny. -- Adam Carolla What Aisha says about embracing your fear and using mistakes to forge character is beautiful. What she says about Oprah is unforgivable. -- Baratunde Thurston Self-inflicted wounds. We all have them, but no one exploits their own pain for the funny like Aisha Tyler. -- Wayne Brady Aisha Tyler's brain moves faster than a shock spell from the hands of a lightning mage. She is hilarious, hyperarticulate, and will kick your ass in Call of Duty. -- Chris Hardwick Aisha Tyler's book, Self-Inflicted Wounds, is an uplifting, hilarious trek through her life of insults, agonies and failures. Each story is not only painfully funny, but it's also thoughtful and stunningly candid. I really do love this book. -- Jay Chandrasekhar, actor and comedian In her new book, Aisha Tyler embarrasses and humiliates herself for 231 pages-to our extreme reading pleasure. -- Entertainment Weekly Smart, sassy, and surprisingly wise. -- Kirkus Reviews
