About this listen

In We Learn Nothing, satirical cartoonist Tim Kreider turns his funny, brutally honest eye to the dark truths of the human condition, asking big questions about human-sized problems: What if you survive a brush with death and it doesn't change you? Why do we fall in love with people we don't even like? How do you react when someone you've known for years unexpectedly changes genders?

With a perfect combination of humor and pathos, these essays leave us with newfound wisdom and a unique prism through which to examine our own chaotic journeys through life. These are the conversations you have only with best friends or total strangers, late at night over drinks, near closing time.

Didn't really know east to expect from this book. It took a while for me to get into it, but then I started to enjoy the stories. Very funny, clever vocabulary, and very thought provoking.

I heard about this from the brilliant Tim Ferriss, was extremely entertained and impressed!
I was a fan of Bukowsky until I realised he essentially only had 1 story... Tim Kreider, while covering similar ground in a way, has many stories.
Highly recommended if you are an observer of life, a thinker and a doer!

Better than Bukowsky
