Book Summary

New York Times�Bestseller

A startlingly original debut from the actor, writer, director, and executive producer hailed as �a gifted observer of the human condition and a very funny writer capable of winning that rare thing: unselfconscious, insuppressible laughter� (The Washington Post).

A boy wins a $100,000 prize in a box of Frosted Flakes�only to discover that claiming the winnings might unravel his family. A woman sets out to seduce motivational speaker Tony Robbins�turning for help to the famed motivator himself. A new arrival in Heaven, overwhelmed with options, procrastinates over a long-ago promise to visit his grandmother. We meet Sophia, the first artificially intelligent being capable of love, who falls for a man who might not be ready for it himself; a vengeance-minded hare, obsessed with scoring a rematch against the tortoise who ruined his life; and post-college friends who try to figure out how to host an intervention in the era of Facebook.� Along the way, we learn why wearing a red T-shirt every day is the key to finding love, how February got its name, and why the stock market is sometimes just . . .�down.

Finding inspiration in questions from the nature of perfection to the icing on carrot cake,�One More Thing�has at its heart the most human of phenomena: love, fear, hope, ambition, and the inner stirring for the one elusive element just that might make a person complete. Across a dazzling range of subjects, themes, tones, and narrative voices, the many pieces in this collection are like nothing else, but they have one thing in common: they share the playful humor, deep heart, sharp eye, inquisitive mind, and altogether electrifying spirit of a writer with a fierce devotion to the entertainment of the reader.
