Synopsis
Janet Street-Porter has "worshipped at the altar of self-improvement" since the age of eleven.

Now that she's reached her 60s, she's determined to help other women forget about their insecurities and finally be happy. Her collection of opinions, personal anecdotes (what it's like to eat dinner with Madonna), career lessons, and hilarious self-portraits is Life's Too F***ing Short, an" "engaging, funny self-help guide that will teach women to feel happy and confident. In Life's Too F***ing Short, Street-Porter rails against beauty editors, gourmet cooks, boring people, dreary jobs, fashion designers, chain supermarkets, and stores that offer too many choices. Janet Street-Porter also gives smart, substantial advice, based on her years of experience working in the media, dealing with men and celebrities, entertaining friends, and coming to accept herself. Wise proclamations like "hair is such a barometer of your inner turmoil" are juxtaposed with acerbic declarations like "hairdressing salons are places of utter misery."
