Britain's foremost humourist and a compassionate counsellor have both told me Jack doesn't know what he's talking about Graeme Garden

Funny, sometimes bracing Spectator, Books of the Year

What Is Your Problem? is indeed very funny, and it's partly because much of Dee's advice is not at all helpful. But what's even better is that sometimes his advice is-albeit inadvertently-genuinely wise and illuminating Caroline Sanderson, The Bookseller

I recommend you read this. You'll thank me Barry Cryer

I inhaled it. HILARIOUS. So sharp - it really made me laugh Katherine Ryan

Jack dispenses advice exactly as you'd want him to: with both hilarious insight and healthy disdain for everyone involve Romesh Ranganathan
