This Is How

In This Is How: Surviving What You Think You Can't, Augusten Burroughs blends memoir, candid essays, and tough‑love advice to address topics such as grief, addiction, shame, illness, and interpersonal pain.

Written in his characteristic wry and unflinching voice, the book reads like a conversation with a blunt, compassionate friend who shares personal anecdotes and practical insights about facing — and moving through — difficult experiences.
