"A humorous and insightful look into what it means to transform yourself, by the co-hosts of the popular (and industry favorite) By the Book podcast"-- Provided by publisher.
Are self-help books really any help? From diet and productivity to decorating to social interactions, Greenberg and Meinzer tried it all, and then share what they've learned. They started for a laugh, but discovered that reading and following each book's advice has actually changed and improved their lives. Here they synthesize the lessons and insights they've learned: practices that have worked, real talk on those that didn't, and a list of philosophies they want to see explored in-depth. -- adapted from inside front cover
