THIS IS HOW Proven Aid in Overcoming Shyness, Molestation, Fatness, Spinsterhood, Grief, Disease, Lushery, Decreptitude & More

Burroughs has made a career out of writing and narrating books about how screwed up his life has been. Now that he’s sober and relatively together, he wants to share his life’s lessons. The advice he gives, based upon his own mistakes, is conveyed though humorous stories. By way of these personal stories, he sees through social niceties and comes up with some common-sense observations and sage advice—even if some of it is a “just-get-over-it” kind of advice. Burroughs’s voice is persuasive and humble, and he sounds like he genuinely wants to give good advice. But listeners familiar with his past may question his credibility.
