About the Author
Mr. Irresponsible is the pen name of the world's most widely read personal-advice columnist. His newspaper column, "Mr. Irresponsible's Bad Advice," ran in over 1100 newspapers until early 2004, when it was suddenly, and without explanation, suspended by its syndicate. He is the recipient of the Heidelberg Prize, the Baxter Award (1987 and 1999) and the Lifetime Achievement Award of the Personal Improvement Institute, which he refused, sending a life-sized cutout of teen idol Justin Timberlake to the awards luncheon in his place.
Mr. Irresponsible has many enemies and must travel in disguise. He lives alone and likes it. Rumors that he "shot a man in Reno just to watch him die" have never been proven to have any basis in fact. As of press time, Mr. Irresponsible is party to nineteen different law suits, and is fighting to regain his newspaper column.
Bill Barol was born in Philadelphia and graduated from Harvard with a classy but useless BA in American History. He has been a Senior Writer at Newsweek, where he authored cover stories on David Letterman, Bruce Springsteen, and The End of the Eighties; his freelance journalism has appeared in Time, The New Yorker, TV Guide, Fortune Small Business, American Heritage, Slate, and on PBS. He's also been a writer/producer on television comedies including "Anything But Love." He lives in Santa Monica, CA, with his wife, television writer Jennifer Cecil.
