Owl and Jest announces the release of a parody self-help book for adults, timed for the 2026 holiday season and aimed at White Elephant parties, office Secret Santa exchanges, bachelor parties, and practical jokes.
-- Owl and Jest, an independent publisher of humor and parody books, today announced the release of How to Deal With Your Disappointingly Small Penis. The paperback, written by Dr. Leonard Dryden, is available now on Amazon and arrives in time for the Christmas and holiday gift-giving season.
The book is a parody of the self-help genre. It is written as an earnest guide for men who feel nature could have been more generous, and it treats its premise with complete seriousness throughout. Content includes Dr. Dryden's Adequacy Mindset program, self-assessment questionnaires, case studies, diagrams, and a fictional medical condition, Comparative Phallus Anxiety Disorder (CPAD). Chapters also cover confidence, dating, locker rooms, and public restrooms.
book cover
Owl and Jest developed the title primarily for adult gift exchanges. White Elephant parties, where participants bring deliberately unusual or unwanted gifts and then trade or "steal" them from one another, are a natural fit, as are office Secret Santa exchanges. The publisher also expects the book to appeal to buyers shopping for bachelor parties and groomsmen, and to anyone looking for a prank gift for a friend or family member.
"Most gag gifts get one laugh and are forgotten by New Year's," said a spokesperson for Owl and Jest. "We wanted a title that gets the reaction in the room and a book that's actually funny to read once the party is over. The approach is the same one behind the most successful parody gift books: take an absurd premise and commit to it completely."
The book's fictional author takes a similar view. "Every December, thousands of men unwrap a gift and quietly wonder whether it was meant as a comment," said Dr. Dryden. "This year, I'm pleased to remove all doubt."
The paperback is published under ISBN 978-1-917802-02-4. Owl and Jest recommends that holiday shoppers order early to ensure delivery before Christmas. The book is intended for adults and is a work of parody. It does not provide medical advice, and Dr. Leonard Dryden and his Center for Modest Male Wellness are fictional.
How to Deal With Your Disappointingly Small Penis is available in paperback on Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.ca, and Amazon.com.au.
