"We might not like to admit to it, but everyone - even the gentlest of souls - derives a secret guilty satisfaction from the misfortune of others. Tim Lihoreau has made it his business to uncover the myriad ways in which schadenfreude rears its wicked head, including: Turparphilia: To delight in the less than aesthetically beautiful nature of a friend's offspring.

Drawing from the hugely popular weekly Daily Telegraph column, the ultimate book of modern phobias! Did you leave work yesterday and have a stab of fear that you€™d forgotten to press save before switching off your computer? Did you then go to the pub, get very drunk, then wake this morning unable to remember what awful things you might have said or done? You€™re not paranoid (most of the time) but suffering from modern phobias. Such as antefamaphobia€”the fear that people were talking about you, but stopped just before you entered the room. Or agmenophobia€”the fear that the line you join will end up being slower than the other one. The Book of Phobias will confirm every sneaking suspicion you have of a suffering from a weird and wonderful phobia, and highlight some you never knew you had!
