是否曾經對自己說：「真的很討厭我自己？」這樣自我厭惡的話呢？

《 Self-Loathing for Beginner 》一書不是教你如何喜歡自己，而是以挖苦的幽默滑稽文字告訴你如何成為自我厭惡的藝術高手，這樣才能知道自我厭惡的真正事情是什麼，從中找到答案。 本書預計在 2008 年 2 月出版，美國邦諾網路書店的外文編輯讀完此書電子完稿後，立刻下了 25,000 的書量訂單，並且大膽預估此書將是明年的暢銷書。

Lynn explains her book concept thus: “Because anything worth doing is worth doing with persistence, enthusiasm and panache, SELF-LOATHING BEGINNERS is poised to make a valuable contribution to the field of self-help literature and timeless philosophy alike. Thanks to its unwelcome insights and light-hearted abjection, even those readers as yet unaware of their self-loathing potential have only to glance through a few of its wisdom-splashed pages to realize that they are a lot further along the exalted and fashionable path towards complete self-rejection than they thought. And this is welcome news indeed, because the vogue for maximizing your self-loathing is a trend you'll hate yourself if you miss.”
