He is most definitely back! I've always enjoyed his reading performances. I've listened to Burroughs' work before - all of them in fact - and was starting to feel that his most recent work was becoming well-tread familiar territory. Have you listened to any of Augusten Burroughs’s other performances before? How does this one compare? It is a new take on the rather tired, be peppy all the time, say affirmations and forcing yourself to be happy.none of that works. If you could sum up This Is How in three words, what would they be? Told with Burroughs's unique voice, black humor, and in-your-face advice, This is How is Running With Scissors - with recipes. This Is How is his no-holds-barred book of advice on topics as varied as: From having no formal education past third grade and being raised by his mother’s psychiatrist in the seventies to enjoying one of the most successful advertising careers of the eighties to experiencing a spectacular downfall and rehab stint in the nineties to having a number one bestselling writing career in the new millennium, Burroughs has faced humiliation, transformation and everything in between. To say that Augusten Burroughs has lived an unusual life is an understatement. From the #1 New York Times best-selling author of Running With Scissors comes a groundbreaking book that explores how to survive the "un-survivable" and will challenge your notion of self-help books.
