1) Paperback Book The Grrl Genius Guide to Life: A Twelve-Step Program on How to Become a Grrl Genius, According to Me! by Harper Paperbacks. I saw Cathryn doing her side-splitting stand-up routine and figured her book had to be at least somewhat funny so I bought it. I was wrong--it is not funny, it is HILARIOUS. At first I thought it was going to be a little young, because of the "grrl" bit in the title. Also I know nothing about 12 steps and wondered if I´d "get it" but I decided to give it a shot. HOLY COW am I glad I did. This women is smart, talented, insightful, brave and honest--and honestly made me laugh until I cried. I was so disappointed when it ended that I flipped it right over and started again from the beginning (true story). The only thing I didn´t like about this book was the fact that I didn´t write it.¤

2) Paperback Book The Grrl Genius Guide to Life: A Twelve-Step Program on How to Become a Grrl Genius, According to Me! by Harper Paperbacks. Since I became a Grrl Genius, nearly all my character flaws have mutated into charming evidence of my brilliance. ~Cathryn Michon

When a stand-up comic decides to put a pen to paper, we can only wonder how she will transfer the punch lines to print. Cathryn Michon not only succeeds, she pleases time after time. My sniggling (something between a snicker and a giggle), giggling and laughing loudly intermittently got me sent to my room because I was enjoying life too much while my husband stared aimlessly at the TV.

While many may say this is Bridget Jones at a Tony Robbins seminar, I have concluded this is much more Bridget Jones awakening to the words of Deepak Chopra. How could anyone miss: "your body´s inherent wisdom." She is so yoga at times all while reminding me fondly of my best friend in high school who would have me rolling on the floor laughing as we composed fake letters about boys we had met at the beach. Just as we imagined these delicious and uninhibited revelations of fantasy, Cathryn Michon will at times embellish life so as to awaken a woman´s wicked naughty side, all while having innocent fun.

Throughout this work-of-art-comedy-routine-in-print, you will be swept into a world of delicious wit, enlivening humor, total honesty, beyond total honesty and did I mention, TOTAL honesty? With a vocabulary to die for at times, Cathryn Michon weaves images of reality with precision.

Through her writing we come to understand her preoccupation with spontaneous doughnut fulfillment and observe her self-destructive patterns of behavior leading her to certain doom. It is in these moments when inspiration strikes and revelations are born of an awakened consciousness in the face of death itself. She also confronts societal ills with a high-class clarity and explores the synchronicity of life. Like Bridget, she learns life´s best lessons through putting herself through the paces. She must experience life, sometimes fail and eventually rise to the occasion as a Grrl Genius. This makes her loveable, human and oh so funny.

The Grrl Genius Guide to Life is also filled with research on the subject of scientific discoveries. You will be amazed at what has been hidden by society and then revealed by the Grrl Genius herself.

In fact, you may shock your friends by revealing the details of Einstein´s life or explaining how the cotton gin was actually invented by a woman. I learned how to live longer by relaxing in steam rooms and how to understand the deepest of life´s mysteries through careful observations.

Sweep aside mundane realities, it is time to pull out the pink postits and cover your refrigerator with quotes like:

"Today is the First Day of the Rest of My Genius."

I loved reading about the cooking competition and at times the writing reads like sardonic slapstick with an evil twist. The author has one of those naughty minds always willing to devise creative revenge tactics for playful investigation only.

Various phrases and sentences also make for witty banter between friends in adapted versions. I said one line while talking on the phone and my friend thought it was brilliant. Do I feel like a genius after reading this book? Yes, and I felt very happy too because I love to find a humorous read that makes me laugh all the way through the book.

Do you have what it takes to be a Grrl Genius? Of course you do! You are a smart, funny, beautiful Grrl Genius -- just because you say you are. In The Grrl Genius Guide to Life, stand-up comic and Grrl Genius Club founder Cathryn Michon explains why she is a genius and demonstrates how you can become one, too, by following her easy twelve-step program.

The first step in the program is the most important: Admit that you are a Grrl Genius. Acknowledge that you are beautiful, intelligent, and talented and that you are the only person in the world who can decide just how great you are. In subsequent steps, you will learn to embrace the domestic arts, love your Grrl Genius good looks, celebrate your sexuality, appreciate your Grrl Genius mother, and pass the Grrl Genius message on to others!

Filled with little-known facts about such unacknowledged Grrl Geniuses as Mozart´s younger sister Nannerl and Einstein´s wife Mileva, as well as hilarious, embarrassing stories from Michon´s own life, The Grrl Genius Guide to Life is a must-read for Grrl Geniuses and Enlightened Males everywhere. Michon shares her most humiliating memories -- singing show tunes at her aunt´s funeral, crying uncontrollably in an airplane bathroom and holding up the flight -- as well as her moments of triumph, like attending the birth of her niece (a future Grrl Genius) and getting liposuction that not a single human being noticed. This is an uproarious roller-coaster ride through the life of a self-declared Genius -- in which Michon writes about everything from doughnuts to divorce, from physics to push-up bras -- and a comic inspirational guide for those aspiring to Grrl Geniushood.

Cathryn Michon is a genius -- just because she says she is. Read her book, and you will become one, too. As with any twelve-step program, becoming a Grrl Genius takes work. All your life you have been telling yourself that your butt is too big, your ideas are too small, and your love for creme-filled doughnuts is inherently evil. With the help of The Grrl Genius Guide to Life, you will learn to recognize your own brilliance, shamelessly proclaim it to the rest of the world, and eat all the Krispy Kreme doughnuts you want. In case you need inspiration, Michon has included numerous Grrl Genius slogans and Little Pink Post-it Notes; in case you get hungry, she has included her recipe for the best chocolate chip cookies in the world. So go on -- take the first step. Read the book that is guaranteed to change your life forever (or at the very least to make you laugh yourself silly) -- and declare your Genius to yourself and the world!
