Reviews"HUMBLEBRAG: The Art of False Modesty is an amazing assembly of hilariousness and an anthology of heartbreaking insecurity. Enjoy it-but don't forget how sad it is."-Sarah Silverman, comedian and New York Times bestselling author of The Bedwetter, "Harris Wittels is a hilarious performer and writer and with this book he has coined a new term for that thing that drives us crazy. But honestly, I don't know how I feel about this whole thing. It makes me nervous." -Amy Poehler, "HUMBLEBRAG: The Art of False Modesty is an amazing assembly of hilariousness and an anthology of heartbreaking insecurity.

Weird." -Bill Simmons, ESPN columnist and New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Basketball, "I haven't read this, and never intend to, but Harris is my friend, so I feel obligated to give him a 'blurb' for his book.

This is a really good use of your time." -Mindy Kaling, comedian and NYT bestselling author of Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?, "Since the dawn of man, bragging has been evolving, growing more elusive and resilient.

Oh well." -Patton Oswalt , comedian and New York Times bestselling author of Zombie Spaceship Wasteland, "Great, Harris. This is a really good use of your time." -Mindy Kaling , comedian and NYT bestselling author of Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?, "My sweet and funny friend Harris is the mastermind behind the single most feared twitter account in history.
