| webLongDescription | "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 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.
