No one understands modern life better than Eugene - so he claims - and anyone who is longing for a new perspective from a man who has been through it all - or at least thinks he has - won't resist this utterly original, laugh-out-loud guide. Eugene's career as a self-appointed self-help guru began when he was a counsellor at a teen hotline in high school. More recently, he has offered advice through his website, where fans write in with problems and questions, from the mundane to the existential, and Eugene responds with his signature wit and straight-talk. Throughout this unique and hilarious book, Eugene turns to his own personal, and at times humiliating, awesome, and bizarre, experiences - from his first real date to his last corporate temp job - to illustrate the trials and triumphs of modern life.
