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 percent? 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?
Best-selling 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....
Critic reviews

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.
