    Mr. Moritz is the co-author of the nearly best-selling self-help book Sponging: A Guide to Living Off Those You Love, recipient of this ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ review from Mr. Dan Nichols of The United States on December 8, 2016:

    Get 'Em Of The Couch With This Book! What an amazing little book. Can't believe it is out of print. I want two copies to give to a couple co-dependent peer parents who cannot say "no" to their adult kids. This little book is all tongue and cheek of course but the sarcasm is not only witty but a good slap in the face. Let's get it back in print. Order two copies for those who come to mind: parents, and their wayward, boomerang kids.
