Don't Suck

Whether a life turns out well depends as much on the habits you drop as on the ones you take up. This book offers brisk, accessible vignettes that teach basic lessons about getting through everyday life, delivered in a light and amusing style.

The episodes move from a disastrous wedding to a stretch of improv classes and a run of house parties. Drawing on the author's varied experiences, each one shows which behaviors help and which cause trouble. The book closes by inviting readers to bring the same attitude into their own lives.
