Be Your Worst Self

BE YOUR WORST SELF – Finally, a self-help book for people who absolutely refuse to be helped. This is your go-to guide for dishing out wildly questionable advice using the power of reverse psychology. Whether you’re dealing with stubborn friends, rebellious teens, or coworkers who never listen, this book gives you the “perfect” wrong thing to say—so they might actually do the right thing. It’s unhelpful on purpose, and that’s exactly the point. 

WHAT’S IN THE BOX – A collection of hilariously misguided advice covering life’s everyday challenges, from relationships to responsibilities to that one weird habit no one talks about. Each bit of “wisdom” is crafted to get a reaction—whether that’s eye rolls, laughter, or someone accidentally taking your terrible advice seriously. 

LAUGH-OUT-LOUD LIFE LESSONS – Perfect for flipping through, sharing out loud, or strategically deploying when someone asks for your opinion (big mistake). It’s sarcasm at its finest, packed with lines like “Whatever you do, don’t shave those wispy upper-lip hairs—it drives the ladies crazy.” You’re welcome. 

ACTUAL GOOD GIFT IDEA – Know a contrarian? A teen who won’t listen? Or someone who prides themselves on doing the opposite of what they’re told? This is the perfect gift for birthdays, white elephant exchanges, or anyone who appreciates humor with a rebellious streak. 

BRASS MONKEY – We’re that strange corner of the gift shop where retro kitsch and clever chaos live in harmony. Our stuff is smart, funny, and unapologetically weird—kind of like your group chat, but on shelves. At Brass Monkey, we make well-designed products with a side of snark. Because honestly, the world’s serious enough. Let’s make everyday stuff a little more fun.
