About this ebook

To say that Augusten Burroughs has lived an unusual life is an understatement.

Burroughs has faced humiliation, transformation and everything in between. This Is How is his no-holds-barred book of advice on topics as varied as:
- How to feel like crap
- How to ride an elevator
- How to be thin
- How to be fat
- How to find love
- How to feel sorry for yourself
- How to get the job
- How to end your life
- How to remain unhealed
- How to finish your drink
- How to regret as little as possible
- And much more
Told with Burroughs' unique voice, black humour, and in-your-face advice, This is How is Running With Scissors - with recipes.
