THE BOOK
You Think I Do This for My Health?
A lifetime of safety warnings, courtesy of my mother.
A funny and affectionate celebration of the mother who can find danger anywhere. Inspired by Evan’s own mother, the book follows the wonderfully exhausting logic of a woman determined to keep her family safe from every conceivable threat, no matter how unlikely.
BY EVAN LOWENSTEIN
It’s for anyone who has ever had a mother that cared too much.

"I worry about America. Evan's mother worries about everything else."
What People Are Saying
“
Bill Maher
"My mother was also in a state of decline. And like Evan, I also monetized it."
Tim Dillon
"A hilarious reminder that everything can kill you... even your mother."
Jeff Ross
"Hilarious enough to fell you with a seizure, stroke or cardiac infarction. All in all this is a dangerous, dangerous book. Dangerously wonderful."

Alzheimer’s took away much of my mother’s humor, brilliance, and world-class neuroticism.
