"The people's guide to paradox."
"A redemptive tragicomedy of life's inherent absurdity."
"Mind-bending brain-teasers about the meaning of life "
"For people in no shape for the human condition."
"A real iconoclassic " -- All humor is philosophical inquiry. But Ludwig Wittgenstein went further and wrote: "An entire treatise of philosophy could be written that consists entirely of jokes." Author Evan Hodkins similarly wrote: "The next religion will consist of nothing more than an expansive catalog of humor." And Cesar Cruz said art should "comfort the disturbed, and disturb the comfortable." And now, dear reader, you have stumbled upon a curious but relatable collection of all-original jokes that blends all three ideas together into easy-to-digest, family-friendly, bite-sized nuggets called laughorisms

(From the Preface) - It's rare to find a trifecta of thought streams and modalities as unexpectedly intertwined as what we find in this one-of-a-kind collection of original, one-sentence jokes - aphorisms (or "laughorisms") known as The Eisenberg Principles. In these one-sentence vignettes, the fields of philosophy and psychology marry into uproariously funny trysts of paradoxical play, each one like a piece of deluxe brain-candy which is no less serious in its treatment of the human condition as it is absurd. We are not only afforded a chance to glimpse into the thoughts of this wondrously twisted thinker, we are challenged to follow him into the surprising and impossible rabbit holes of language he unearths on every page. F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote: "The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposing ideas in the mind at the same time -- and still retain the ability to function." This catalog of contradictions is like a compendium of modern Zen koans that puts you through Fitzgerald's test, playing with the principles of paradox, polarity, and incongruity, and taking you from the "comforts of clich " to the "chasms of contradiction" with just a few strokes of a pen.
