Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. We live in a world where smart fridges are more articulate than most politicians, where the leaders of two nuclear powers engage in a battle of elementary school wits, and where every fact can be dismissed as fake news. Sometimes it seems like the only humor left is tinged with bitterness and despair. Robert Isenberg doesn't believe that's true. He knows it's possible to find humor-true humor-everywhere. Why is it that a politician's choice of food makes or breaks his or her career, and why should we care? How important is it to attend a funeral if it means canceling your regular Sunday tennis game? What drives a man's suspicions of yoga, and perhaps more importantly, why are wives so determined to overcome such reservations? Robert, aka robear, has two wives. Esther is his real-life wife. Esther doesn't want to have anything to do with his imaginary wife, Dana, who is featured in his essays. Robert created Dana to do and say what he wants, but Dana says and does whatever pleases Dana. Isenberg is an affable guy-the kind of man who tries to get along with automated help systems. From his obsession with As seen on TV products to his exploration of the differences between the sexes, he's instantly recognizable to readers. We all have a Robert Isenberg in our life, and that's a good thing-because we need to laugh. Judge this book by its cover We all have a Robert Isenberg in our lives. He's the one who sees things a little differently than the rest of us. He's the one who makes you laugh when he tells you what he's thinking. Robert actually asserts that elections are won and lost once the public discovers what the candidates are eating. He insists that had Hillary Clinton had said,Hold the kale and bring on the iceberg, she would definitely have won by a landslide Robert is also sure that thousand island as opposed to French vinaigrette would have won more votes. Although Isenberg tries to get along with Robots on the phone, he's embarrassed to admit that they inevitably get the better of him. And speaking of being embarrassed Isenberg's wife Dana had instructed him to pick up two packages of toilet paper at Costco each consisting of thirty-six rolls, he can only guess what people would think if he placed seventy-two rolls of loose toilet paper in his cart. Another essay begins with Robert being perplexed about the word 'perplexed', especially when his cardiologist is perplexed about what is physically wrong with Robert. While he is watching a football game, he often wonders why he learns more about mattresses and why he needs a new one, than what's happening with the football game. He has similar issues with the ads in his face while watching the Red Sox. On top of which he asks himself, Why should I give one damn that a bunch of strangers win or lose? He even goes on and asks himself,Has one of them ever come to my office to see how I'm doing? If they lose he goes to bed sad that they lost, but even sadder that he feels sad. All in all, JUDGE THIS BOOK BY ITS COVER You will be rewarded with true belly laughs, many smiles and the wonderful feeling of I know where Isenberg is, cause I've been there too.Isenberg also wants you to read about his lovely and amazing sister who was a teacher for fifteen- years, but had to be taught the art of cussing by her friend the school's librarian. There is also story in this collection called Brother's. I was born the youngest of seven. I don't think that any of my siblings were celebrating my birth. Least of all was brother David, who up till my birth had been dotted upon by the older ones. He don't exactly welcome me.There is also an essay re David's friend Butchy AKA Sonny who on his death bed snared at me as he handed me a note that said, I did and you didn't Robert hasn't mentioned the piece called, Harvey's Mother's Funeral and the Sunday Morning Tennis Game, I'll leave up to you readers to supp.…

Zustand: Good. POLITICAL BOOKS WILL MAKE YOU SAD, MY BOOK WILL MAKE YOU GLAD. We all know a Robert Isenberg. He's the one who sees things a little differently than the rest of us. He's the one who makes you laugh when he tells you what he's thinking. WHY MEN ARE SUSPICIOUS OF YOGA encompasses fifty-five short essays that gives you some idea of what he's thinking and about what. Robert actually asserts that elections are won more by what the candidates eat than what they say. For instance, he is convinced that had Hillary said,Hold the kale and bring on the iceberg, she would have won by a landslide. This author even sports his audacity by taking on subjects as hugging and smiling, who is good at it and who is not. He is embarrassed to admit to having squabbles with robots on the phone and losing the arguments. Isenberg stoops to bragging in great detail about receiving an apology from a former lover who dumped him over forty-five years ago. He believes that this is a world's record for belated apologies. Nothing is safe from his irreverent eye including world leaders and especially pets with attitude. Robert goes on to discuss how much the word perplexed perplexes him when his cardiologist used it in his analysis of Robert. He then goes on to admit that although he is fortunate enough to have two wives, one is Dana who appears in many of his articles, the other is his real wife Esther who wants nothing to do with what Dana has to say, plus two daughters and one granddaughter that he's still perplexed by the other gender. He, of course, can't wait to tell us why and where this fear came from. Isenberg is somewhat of a questioning sports fan. He has no idea why he's so loyal to the Red Sox. He says they have never come to his office and asked if he's having a good day. He wonders why he should care for even one second why a bunch of strangers lost another game. Re football he says while watching football he learns more about mattresses and fast food than football. All and all this book is a treasure chest filled with smiles and laughter. It gives us what we all need today, more than ever, real wit and real humor.…
