Author: Michael Wex
There are people out there, millions of them, who act as if they still believe everything that their mothers told them in the first six months of their life: they're the nicest, most beautiful, most promising and intelligent bags of flesh ever to walk the earth, and anybody who can't see it is a jealous fool. — We call these people shm...  more ». In How to Be a Mentsh (and Not a Shmuck), bestselling author Michael Wex offers a wise and witty guide to being a good human being, regardless of your religion or beliefs -- a blueprint for living a decent and moral life, acting with self-control instead of self-denial, and winning through cooperation rather than competition.
