From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

How to Lose Friends and Alienate People is a memoir by Toby Young about his failed five-year effort to make it in the U.S. as a contributing editor at Conde Nast Publications' Vanity Fair magazine. He has written a sequel called The Sound of No Hands Clapping which chronicles his failure as a Hollywood screenwriter in the years after he left New York.

A feature length film, titled How to Lose Friends & Alienate People, is currently in post-production. It is directed by Robert B. Weide and stars Megan Fox, Simon Pegg, and Kirsten Dunst.^[1]

The title of the book is a parody of Dale Carnegie's bestseller, How to Win Friends and Influence People.
