The Joy of Worry -- Stressed out? Wringing your hands? Great! You're on the path to success, enlightenment, and happiness. Author Ellis Weiner and illustrator Roz Chast, experts in the field of fretting, reveal how to maximize worry, harness its power, and achieve personal goals -- wealth, great sex, safer driving, and world travel. Through focused worrying, dedicated practitioners not only lose weight, they even control exactly where they will shed the pounds. And if they're pregnant, they can worry for two! Let us now abandon our quest for inner peace and embrace that gnawing tension!

Ellis Weiner has been apprehensive most of his life while writing for National Lampoon, the Paris Review, Spy, and the New Yorker. He now lives and worries in Pennsylvania.

Roz Chast 's illustrations have appeared anxiously in the New Yorker since 1978.
