This is how: proven aid in overcoming shyness, molestation, fatness, spinsterhood, grief, disease, lushery, decrepitude, & more. For young and old alike
(Large Print)
Description
To say Augusten Burroughs has lived an unusual life is an understatement. From having no formal education past third grade and being raised by his mother's psychiatrist in the seventies, to one of the most successful advertising careers in the eighties, to a spectacular downfall and rehab stint in the nineties, to a number one bestselling writing career in the new millennium. This Is How is his no-holds-barred book of advice.
