"How did Brian Frazer take his neuroses and write a hysterical book, while mine just annoy my family? Seriously, this is one funny book. Damn it." --Ray Romano, "Frazer's first book is the perfect medicine for anyone suffering from a case of treacly-memoir syndrome. Hilarious and biting, "Hyper-Chondriac" recounts the author's lifelong battle with various ailments and maladies, ranging from minor instances of frostbite to rage-filled meltdowns. Frazer's reflections are distinct and laugh-out-loud funny. During a teen rendezvous, Frazer contemplates how his date, suffering from scoliosis, removes her brace: 'It probably had to involve her entire family, as if they were an Indy pit crew.' It's that kind of spiked, wickedly funny observation that makes this sickness-filled book so easy to swallow. A-"-- "Entertainment Weekly", "Brian Frazer has written a very touching and hilarious exploration of family, hypochondria, and road rage. It's awesome." --Greg Behrendt, coauthor ofHe's Just Not That Into You, "Hyper-chondriacis my new favorite memoir! It was so funny I laughed out loud, so honest I gasped out loud and so relatable I immediately called my therapist. I love this book!" --Stefanie Wilder-Taylor, author ofSippy Cups are Not for Chardonnay, ""Hyper-chondriac" is an amazing book. It's funny, raw, moving and original. And I'm not just saying that because I'm afraid Brian Frazer will be angry at me if I don't."-- A.J. Jacobs, author of "The Know-it All", ""Hyper-chondriac" is my new favorite memoir!

Synopsis
The "Esquire" and "Vanity Fair" humor columnist wipes out on the road to Wellville in this bitingly funny memoir about one man's frantic lifelong search for inner peace., "I'm a hyper-chondriac. My prescription? Whatever you've got. And quickly, please. I'm in a hurry." With these words, Brian Frazer strikes the keynote for his quixotic quest for total wellness -- a seemingly paradoxical goal for a young man who doesn't smoke, rarely drinks and never misses an opportunity to floss. Chronicling his relentless search for inner peace, Frazer takes readers on a hilarious guided tour of his dysfunctional childhood, marked by an extraordinary ability to contract a new disease almost every month, a disturbing obsession with bodybuilding and a veritable sampler platter of disorders of every imaginable type. Snake oils, old wives' tales and oddball remedies dispensed by charlatans quickly become mother's milk to him. While other children are playing Little League, Brian visits his first hypnotist. As an adult, Frazer proves even more high maintenance. His forays into analysis, Kabbalah, yoga, anger management, psycho-pharmacology and puppy rearing are all attempts to achieve some sort of lasting happiness and inner peace. He discovers that almost everything works. For about five minutes. Achingly funny, uncomfortably true and always entertaining,Hyper-chondriacabounds with an antic energy one would not expect from so sick an individual., The Esquire and Vanity Fair humor columnist wipes out on the road to Wellville in this bitingly funny memoir about one man's frantic lifelong search for inner peace., ""I'm a hyper-chondriac.
