This Is How: Proven Aid in Overcoming Shyness, Molestation, Fatness, Spinsterhood, Grief, Disease, Lushery, Decrepitude & More. For Young and Old Alike.

Authenticity. Chances are most readers will find something to love and something to hate on the pages of Augusten Burroughs’ book titled, This Is How: Proven Aid in Overcoming Shyness, Molestation, Fatness, Spinsterhood, Grief, Disease, Lushery, Decrepitude & More. For Young and Old Alike. I opened the book expecting a funny spoof on self-help books. Instead, I found a witty and clever way of Burroughs providing practical and logical advice. The core of his message is to be yourself and get over it. Burroughs uses his life experience as a backdrop to presenting his advice to readers. I was entertained by his sharp writing, but I was not looking to him to help me with anything. Readers with an interest in his writing should read an excerpt before plunging in.
