How to Be Yourself: Life-Changing Advice from a Reckless Contrarian

by

" How to Be Yourself is a cheeky, kind and vibrant look at what it takes to shape your one beautiful and wild life." – Amy Poehler An irreverent book of radically honest advice by renowned fashion arbiter and legendary window dresser Simon Doonan How to Be Yourself is an irreverent book of radically honest advice by renowned humor writer and cultural commentator, Simon Doonan. Through his unconventional wisdom and singular storytelling, Simon Doonan is the ideal instructor to help readers find – and then flaunt – their own creative style and vision. With provocative wit, he walks us through every aspect of our lives: fashion, socializing, love, work, decor, and family, sharing case studies, quotations by cultural icons and practical tips. Illustrated with amusing vintage and contemporary photographs, some lifted from the Doonan family album, How to Be Yourself is an inspiring, joyful and entertaining survival guide – a literary GPS that promises to transport you away from your phone and back to yourself.
