Reviews"This is the Pandora's Box of self-help books." --Conan O'Brian "When I was told that Daniel Sloss had written a book, I was immensely interested since I'd resented him already by watching his standup specials -- for his quick wit and free-associative irreverent style that I thought I'd originated. Spoiler alert: Don't be disappointed if, by reading this book, everyone you hate doesn't die, but what a title. And what a book. It's smart, acerbic, and incredibly funny. I suggest you read it. And anything else Daniel sends our way. He's a very special comic mind and one that is a gift to those of us who need to hear from our best, hilarious, demented, smart friend." --Bob Saget "The only thing wrong with this book is that at my age everyone I hate is already dead." --Peter Bart "The funniest book I've ever read for libel." --The Alfred A. Knopf lawyer "[Sloss is] dirty, sweet and clever." --Elise Czajkowski, The New York Times "Sloss uses comedy as a means to not only make his fans laugh but also to raise critical questions about the way we act . . ." --Christina Zhao, Newsweek "He tells jokes that are transgressive, that are shocking, that are dark enough to emphasize that he's not some kind of pious, soggy, joyless hector." --Sophie Gilbert, The Atlantic "His bits teem with curse words, wicked daydreams...But the slapstick is a preamble: Sloss's signature move is a pivot to vulnerability." --Eren Orbey, The New Yorker "Sloss offers insights on toxic masculinity, gender and sexuality that are at once deliciously dark, hilarious and profound." --Debbie Hall, Daily Record, "This is the Pandora's Box of self-help books." --Conan O'Brien "When I was told that Daniel Sloss had written a book, I was immensely interested since I'd resented him already by watching his standup specials -- for his quick wit and free-associative irreverent style that I thought I'd originated.

SynopsisOne of this generation's hottest and boldest young comedians presents a transgressive and hilarious analysis of all of our dysfunctional relationships, and attempts to point us in the vague direction of sanity. Daniel Sloss's stand-up comedy engages, enrages, offends, unsettles, educates, comforts, and gets audiences roaring with laughter--all at the same time. In his groundbreaking specials, seen on Netflix and HBO, he has brilliantly tackled everything from male toxicity and friendship to love, romance, and marriage--and claims (with the data to back it up) that his on-stage laser-like dissection of relationships has single-handedly caused more than 300 divorces and 120,000 breakups. Now, in his first book, he picks up where his specials left off, and goes after every conceivable kind of relationship--with one's country (Sloss's is Scotland); with America; with lovers, ex-lovers, ex-lovers who you hate, ex-lovers who hate you; with parents; with best friends (male and female), not-best friends; with children; with siblings; and even with the global pandemic and our own mortality. In Everyone You Hate Is Going to Die , every human connection gets the brutally funny (and unfailingly incisive) Sloss treatment as he illuminates the ways in which all of our relationships are fragile and ridiculous and awful--but also valuable and meaningful and important.
