I saw this book title and with such a ridiculous name as "pantsdrunk," I assumed it was a parody of all the Scandinavian self-help books that have become popular over the past few years in the U.S. (To be clear, I'm not sure that all of those books are actually from Scandinavian countries, but they are based on concepts such as the Danish hygge.)

However, if this was a parody, it wasn't done well enough to actually come across as funny. If it's not a parody, then someone actually thought they should write a book that tells reader how having a glass a wine while sitting at home wearing comfy clothes and watching a favorite movie is a good way to relax. Well, duh. No one needed to read that.

The audiobook version is narrated by someone who reads it as though it is an actual self-help book, which makes me think it is a serious effort rather than a parody, and that's really rather disappointing. It is not worth anyone's time to read this (albeit short) book.… (altro)
