DNF at around 30%.
Comedian/psychologist who states upfront that he has no tendency toward anxiety writes a book telling people not to be anxious, with the apparent assumption that physiological stress responses are entirely controllable via conscious thoughts and decisions. (Spoiler alert: For some of us, they aren't. At all. I have panic attacks in my sleep.)
Book turns out to be neither especially funny nor especially insightful. Maybe it got better eventually, but I was teetering between boredom and annoyance, and stopped torturing myself.
