Honest and funny advice on how to survive life's downs (and a few ups I suppose). "This Is How: Proven Aid in Overcoming Shyness, Molestation, Fatness, Spinsterhood, Grief, Disease, Lushery, Decrepitude & More. For Young and Old Alike."
Fantastic, uplifting quick read.
I already have a therapist. I don't need Augusten Burroughs to play that role for me. I have loved all of his books (even "Wolf at the Table"), but this one is basically a self-help book focused on pointing out the "secrets" of life that you already know if you're an adult. Perhaps a good read for a college freshman, but not for me.
