For years she lined her bookshelves with dog-eared copies of definitive guide after definitive guide on how to live your best life.

Hilarious and thought-provoking! Love!’\u003cbr\u003e“A fun journey through the ups and downs of negotiating ourselves through life, but underneath that is a serious, generous message, and it really does feel like you’ve learned something by the end of it.”\u003cbr\u003e“A laugh-out-loud funny book that also manages to be thought-provoking, perceptive and devastatingly honest. I loved it.”\u003cbr\u003e“Sublime and ridiculous, in equal measure. I tore through it hungrily. One minute I was having an existential epiphany, the next I was honking with laughter. Britain’s answer to Sarah Knight, with Amy Schumer’s naked hilarity and Matt Haig’s soul-deep profundity chucked in.”\u003cbr\u003e“Marianne’s writing makes me smile and has moved me to tears more than once. She combines a journalist’s no-nonsense investigative skills with a tenderness and honesty that sets her apart . . . In helping herself, it turned out that Marianne was helping all of us.”\u003cbr\u003e“An often laugh-out-loud account of road-testing some of the most totemic books in the self-help canon . . . A sparkling debut.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9781443456661\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"HarperAvenue","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":41087010078926,"sku":"9781443456661","price":19.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/9781443456661.jpg?v=1648955617","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9781443456661","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
