From Augusten Burroughs comes a brutally honest and unconventional self-help book about surviving the parts of life that feel impossible to get through.

With his signature dark humour and direct voice, Burroughs tackles the painful, messy, and deeply human experiences many people struggle with—grief, shame, addiction, loneliness, trauma, body image, difficult relationships, illness, and feeling lost in life.

Rather than offering soft reassurance or quick-fix positivity, he takes a sharper approach, encouraging readers to face the truth of their situations and move through them with honesty. His advice is blunt, sometimes confronting, but grounded in the idea that survival begins with accepting what is real instead of pretending life should be easier than it is.

Practical, raw, and thought-provoking, This Is How explores resilience, self-acceptance, emotional survival, and the difficult work of rebuilding yourself when life feels unbearable.
