How to be fine : what we learned from living by the rules of 50 self-help books / Jolenta Greenberg and Kristen Meinzer.
The authors share the lessons and insights they've learned from self-help books--having followed their specific instructions, rules, and advice to the letter. From diet and productivity to decorating to social interactions, they present a thoughtful look at the books and practices that have worked, real talk on those that didn't, and a list of philosophies they want to see explored in-depth.
