How to feel good about yourself

As a public service, Walt presents nine ways to feel good (or better) about yourself, taken from How to Do Everything, from the Man Who Should Know, Red Green.

  • Sell all your mirrors.


  • Learn how to use Adobe Photoshop to attach pictures of your head to attractive bodies -- of the same gender (and species).


  • Do NOT make a résumé.


  • Stay away from reunions.


  • When a friend arranges for a stranger to meet you at the airport, do not ask the stranger how the friend described you.


  • Use the Guinness Book of World Records to find people who are shorter, fatter, uglier and stupider than you.


  • Don't look too far ahead, and don't look back at all.


  • Work on identifying the positive aspects of your personality. If you can't think of any that qualifies as humility. It's a start.


  • Do something you're proud of. Failing that, stop doing something you're ashamed of.

  • Red Green's new book is a completely exhaustive guide to do-it-yourself and self-help. So it's a two-fer deal and how can you beat that. Keep your stick on the ice.
