Tim and Eric's Zone Theory

7 Easy Steps to Achieve a Perfect Life

By: Tim Heidecker, Eric Wareheim

Narrated by: Bob Ross

From two vital and creative minds comes a satirical self-help guide that promises to instantly provide wellness, happiness, and total, absolute fulfillment.

Stuck in a dead end job? A loveless marriage? Let Tim and Eric apply The Zone Theory to your life!

Tim & Eric's Zone Theory starts off as a strange but seemingly earnest self-help program, but it gradually becomes clear that The Zone is a nightmarish cult and they should not be trusted under any circumstances!

Zone Theory is a four-color book with an array of design elements-charts, photographs, sidebars, fake advertisements. It reflects the Dada-influenced, absurdist, kinetic tradition of the authors' Adult Swim TV-series Awesome Show, Great Job!, appealing to the duo's die-hard fan base but also make waves beyond their established following.

$50 Bill is Ridiculous

I love Tim and Eric and wanted to be successful in life. Zone Theory promised this AND delivered. Unfortunately, I purchased the Audible version and realized I wouldn't have a chance to get the $50 bill. Because of Zone Theory, I STILL found the $50 IN THE AUDIBLE BOOK! Don't question me. Don't question Zone Theory.

Why did they make an audiobook for this?

This book is so visually bizarre that it just doesn't translate into audio. You really need to hold the book in your hands to absorb the full experience. However, the handheld videobook, when coupled with the audiobook, is probably the funniest piece of audiovisual stimulus that has ever been created.

Could not hear pictures

I had to use my imagination to understand the pictures however was still able to perform most duties of reading.

Followed all the Zone Theory instructions and guess whaT

I followed every Zone Theory instruction and *surprise!* I discovered an eleventh zone!(?) It's Zone 11 and only presents itself when you remove your unnecessary tubes. I'm told that some go to far and arrive at Zone Twelve. It's easy to go to far and arrive at Zone Twelve, so here's a po-ehm (a word you'll learn when at Zone 11) to sear the concept into your brain: Zone 11, I'm in Heaven. Oops, Here's Zone 12, I'm forever in He-Ll (a word you can read, but never read aloud, or you'll be in Zone 13, a place worse than He-Ll where the "Pre-Inherent" is named Thee-D'nald, He Who Tweets Nightly).
