Review

"Whether you're a fan of Watsky's poetry or hip-hop or a total newcomer, you will find joy in the words contained herein. Watsky in prose form is just like Watsky on a track—funny, subversive, and able to excavate such brutally honest sentences that you find yourself nodding your head in wonder and recognition." —Lin-Manuel Miranda, composer and lyricist of Hamilton: An American Musical and In the Heights"George's essays will lift you and light you up." —John Green, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Fault in Our Stars“Watsky is a skillful lyricist who has successfully transferred his wit, humor and humility into a smartly written collection of essays. How to Ruin Everything shows off his versatility as a writer and proves that the nerdy guys can also be part of the cool crowd.” —Russell Simmons   “George Watsky is a lyrical mastermind. Unflinchingly honest, sincere, and gut-wrenchingly funny, How to Ruin Everything is one of the best books I've read this year. Watsky effortlessly translates his razor sharp wit from the stage to the page. This will be the first of many amazing books in the life of a tireless artist.” —Hasan Minhaj, The Daily Show correspondent   "In How To Ruin Everything, George Watsky sets off around the world to find out why nothing ever explodes the way it should—not fireworks, spicy foods, hip-hop, sex with middle-aged women, or minor criminal activities. Along the way he captures how it feels to be young, in beautiful writing that is compulsively readable, gut-clutchingly funny, and deeply humane. Don't miss it." —Jeff Chang, author Can't Stop Won't Stop, Who We Be, and We Gon' Be Alright   "At their best, these essays are incisive and soulful, suffused with scorching wit, careful observation, and probing self-awareness. And at their worst, they're still funnier than anything you're likely to hear at your city's most entertaining bar, even if you drink there every night for a month. Which you might have to, in order to process the fact that a guy who looks like he's twelve just wrote the best debut essay collection of the year."  —Adam Mansbach #1 New York Times bestselling author of Go the Fuck to Sleep"He reminds me of myself, only a better writer than I can." —Rhys Darby, Flight of the Conchords“When George Watsky raps, the quantity and quality of his words and concepts often flow so quickly that you can only hope to let them wash over your consciousness and bathe in their essence, because it's impossible to stop time and live appreciatively in each individual moment. Thankfully though, in this collection of his writings, you can do just that, because that's how reading works. You can examine every drop of Watsky's kindness, thoughtfulness, self-awareness, curiosity, and adventurousness, seeing how he is continually and/or continuously growing as an artist and a human, and you will too." —Myq Kaplan, comic featured on Conan, Last Comic Standing, and The Late Show with David Letterman"How to Ruin Everything is laugh-out-loud funny, painfully honest, and subversively sincere. Watsky speaks boundlessly and insightfully about the life of a creative person. It is instantly relatable, clever, sharp and observant.” —Jonny Sun, creator of the popular @jomnysun Twitter comedy account and MIT doctoral candidate "George Watsky does again what he does best: attaches disarming, unparalleled wit to the mundane, making meditation of the routine and human. Everything you've come to expect from Watsky the rapper and George the poet is housed in this brilliant and unmatched collection of essays. His unique approach to rhythm is buoyed by his precision of idea and economy of language…An instant classic." —Chinaka Hodge, author of Dated Emcees

Now I must start off by admitting that I’ve been a big George Watsky fan for a long time, and as soon as he announced his new book, I quickly preordered it from Amazon. When it arrived, I got some sour gummy worms and a Dr. Pepper and settled down to read it as soon as I could. And I must say, it only took until the second line of the introduction for the book to relate to me:“How come if people keep telling me I’m so smart, I keep doing such stupid things?”So much truth resonated to me in that one line.As a fan of George Watsky, I can say that I enjoyed this sporadic glimpse into his life—something that makes a famous person more grounded and real to a fan. Hey, he screws up sometimes just like I do. Hey, he’s got insecurities just like me. I also enjoyed the Watsky brand of humor and wordplay I’ve long appreciated since I was a senior in high school (I stumbled across his YouTube channel after seeing him as Shakespeare in “Epic Rap Battles of History” and I’ve been hooked since.)My fan-like feelings aside, I did find this book very relatable in many ways. For me in particular, a few chapters stood out that related to me. The first relevant moment for me was reading about Watsky’s relationship with his dad and baseball. My dad has always been a big baseball fan—sorry Watsky, but he’s for the Braves, not the Giants! And while I’m not the biggest baseball fan out there, I’ve been to a few baseball games with him, and I’ve enjoyed the time together—he keeps up the s***-talking though, I watch the score.Next relatable moment was Watsky’s dealings with epilepsy. Now I’m not an epileptic myself, but in my senior year of high school we had a girl pass away who had been seizure free for years until one snuck up on her while she was home alone on a treadmill. She had been so well-liked by all that it hit our whole graduating class really hard, especially since it was less than a month before graduation. From the experience, I learned a lot about epilepsy, and even though I haven’t experienced a seizure, I found myself questioning What if one randomly happened right now? What would happen? and a myriad of other questions that any over thinker would have about such a topic.Other relatable moments existed in his book as well, such as dealing with jerk roommates (not speaking of you, Shelby) and awkward pre-teen and teenage things—I even dated someone in high school who put a mortar in upside down and it exploded around us. (I'm referring to fireworks, for people like dear innocent Shelby who didn’t understand what a mortar was when editing this.) My overall point is that this book relates to everyone in some way. For me, these were the points I resonated with. Other people who read it may find different points to relate to. They may be international ivory smugglers or distraught people who didn’t get nachos with jalapeños in them on nacho day in high school.Moral of the review: Watsky’s offbeat book is just a story about some of his experiences along the way. They hit you with a range of stories that can be goofy or slightly sad, but in a way they’re all pretty relatable—some more than others. To fans of Watsky, it’s not a disappointing read, and I highly recommend it. To people who aren’t fans or haven’t heard of him: Read it. It’s an enjoyable read that’ll give you a wide variety of thoughts and feelings. I give Watsky’s How to Ruin Everything 5 out of 5 stars.

I rate this collection of essays so highly because I can relate to almost every single sentence. Watsky is a hip hop headed, epileptic, Milf chasing millennial that has big dreams.Some disparate thoughts about the book: 1. He never comes off as preachy or self-indulgent.2. I enjoyed his seemingly random injections of history that related to the plot; it feels like watching a super dope show on the history channel.3. The LOL moments are few and far between but the sheer rigor of the writing makes up for this.4. The grammar in this book is tight af.5. I wish I had a father like Watsky's.

Watsky is simultaneously eloquent and relatable. As a fan of his music for years, I was so surprised to encounter a unique voice in his written word. If you know his music, you know he speaks with a mix of blunt reality and lovely, musical prose. This collection of stories and essays was similar, and I found myself smiling at the page. He inspires me to be okay with not knowing my perfect future, he calls his readers to embrace spontaneity and to take time out of the 9-5 hustle to genuinely enjoy things.

I blew through this book in just a day because it was such a good read. Watsky is a genius and he's relatable to a white educated suburban guy like me (unlike most hip-hop). I definitely recommend.It's a very humanizing portrait of a very intelligent, complex individual. There are quite a few laughs mixed in with the more-serious human experience stuff. Dude is a master of his craft, no matter what the medium it would seem...If you do decide to pick up this (you should!), I definitely suggest the Kindle version because it has "bonus" photos/videos that relate to many of the stories. Unless you have a paper fetish, spring the couple extra bucks for the digital version...

I have been a fan of Watsky's for a while now and I was excited to buy his book. I actually bought it for my husband, but I ended up reading it first. I really enjoyed it. Watsky is really clever and I enjoy the way he communicates. In the book he tells us of his life experiences and life lessons learned. I enjoyed all of the stories, but my favorite, I think, has to be about the narwhal tusk. :)Definitely a fun read. Probably mostly for people who are already aware of who he is, but I think someone who isn't may also enjoy it.

This book doesn't really have a good description. Its a bunch of random stories and experiences all wrapped up neatly on paper. If you've ever heard George Watsky's music you'll know the entertaining rollercoaster I'm talking about. It's surprisingly intimate because you almost feel as if you're there with him. He talks about, love, life, his fight with epilepsy and shenanigans.Bottom line: Watsky never fails to dissapoint and this performance is proof of it. Would definitely reccomend!

Amazing compilation of essays written about George Watskys experiences and how he got to be where he is today as a well known rap and spoken word artist. Watskys sentences possess a structure that stands in a class of it's own. The book clearly shows how much potential he has and where he could delve into after his rap career finishes.Good: The book delivers harshly true lines with no sugar coating really proclaiming to us his past encounters with life. He keeps audience's on the edge of their seat through witty sentences that want you wanting more and more and to really understand him. The book changes subject so rapidly that there really is no time to be bored of anystory but instead you get lost into the book as a whole wishing each story didn't end as quickly.Bad: On the contrary, you sometimes wish the stories somehow connected and you weren't reading a bunch of short stories but one whole complete novel with all the same characters who you could come accustomed to.All in all the book is unbelievably good and proves that his success in arranging words is valid.
