“How to Be Your Own Selfish Pig” by Susan MacAulay is a delightfully irreverent and humorous self-help book published in 1982. Amidst the burgeoning self-help movement of the 1970s and 80s, MacAulay’s work stood out as a tongue-in-cheek antidote to the often saccharine and overly earnest advice of the era. With a wry and witty voice, MacAulay encouraged readers to embrace their inner “selfish pig” and prioritize their own needs and desires without apology.

This particular copy, while showing some wear on the cover and corners, has clean pages and a secure binding, making it a charming addition to any collection of vintage self-help literature or humorous non-fiction. Beyond its entertainment value, the book serves as a cultural artifact of the changing attitudes towards self-care and personal fulfillment during that period. Collectors and readers alike will appreciate MacAulay’s sharp observations and her defiant challenge to societal expectations, particularly for women.
