She is finally able to admit to herself that she's grown tired of embracing the same old set of nagging problems year after year.
Trade Review"Lisick has created a hilarious, knowing tale of a year of willing ridiculousness." -- San Francisco Chronicle "A witty, disarmingly earnest account of the year [Lisick] spent test-driving renowned self-help franchises." -- Entertainment Weekly not only hilarious but enlightening... Readers will be inspired: If a woman in a banana suit can clean her closet and pay off her credit card debt, surely you can, too." -- People "sweetly neurotic, funny and occasionally insightful." -- Los Angeles Times "wildly funny" and "a cross between David Sedaris and Susan Orlean." -- Seattle Times "Beth Lisick's latest book is a wildly fun read that falls somewhere in between memoir and a Cliffs Notes guide to the self-help genre." -- Bust Magazine "A delightful, Plimptonesque exercise in immersive journalism...sharp, irreverent and endearingly screwed-up." -- Kirkus Reviews
