Why We Suck
''Why We Suck: A Feel Good Guide to Staying Fat, Loud, Lazy and Stupid'' is a 2008 book written by actor and comedian Denis Leary.
==Overview==
Leary is credited on the book cover as "Dr. Denis Leary", a reference to a joke from his 1993 stand-up special, ''No Cure for Cancer''. During the show he mentions he wants to write a self-help book entitled "''Shut the Fuck Up'', by Dr. Denis Leary", with the "advice" being telling the people seeking help the one thing no one has ever told them to do ("shut the fuck up"), which he believes would help people more than actual advice.
Leary also uses the "Doctor" title because of an honorary doctorate bestowed upon him by his alma mater Emerson College. "Sure it’s just a celebrity type of thing--they only gave it to me because I’m famous." Leary jokes. "But it’s legal and it means I get to say I’m a doctor--just like Dr. Phil."〔(''Why We Suck'' - Dr. Denis Leary (2008) Book Webpage ). Penguin.com. Retrieved 2010-08-26.〕 In the book, he refers to Dr. Phil as Dr. Full.〔(''Why We Suck'' - Dr. Denis Leary (2008) - Prologue ). (Preview). Penguin.com. Retrieved 2010-08-26.〕
The book reached #7 on the ''New York Times'' Best Sellers list in December, 2008.〔(NYT Bestsellers Hardcover Nonfiction )〕
