About this ebook

If you're fat and fail every diet, if you're thin but can't get thin enough, if you lose your job, if your child dies, if you are diagnosed with cancer, if you always end up with exactly the wrong kind of person, if you always end up alone, if you can't get over the past, if your parents are insane and ruining your life, if you really and truly wish you were dead, if you feel like it's your destiny to be a star, if you believe life has a grudge against you, if you don't want to have sex with your spouse and don't know why, if you feel so ashamed, if you're lost in life. If you have ever wondered, How am I aupposed to survive this?

This is How.

Ratings and reviews

This book is my Bible. Not for the "everything happens for a reason" types. A cathartic realization about life, people and relationships. Can't wait to see what he releases next...

A self-help book in the truest sense, recommended for anyone who's not afraid to challenge established beliefs and personal 'sacred cows' in order to move on with their lives. Burroughs speaks from a genuine place of compassion based on his personal experience

Excellent advice full of truth and emotion told like absolutely no one else can tell it! You must read this book! AUGUSTEN BURROUGHS RULES!!!
