How to Be Fine: What We Learned by Living by the Rules of 50 Self-Help Books

A humorous and insightful look into what advice works, what doesn't, and what it means to transform yourself, by the co-hosts of the popular By the Book podcast.In each episode of their podcast By the Book, Jolenta Greenberg and Kristen Meinzer take a deep dive into a different self-help book, following its specific instructions, rules, and advice to the letter.

From diet and productivity to decorating to social interactions, they try it all, record themselves along the way, then share what they've learned with their devoted and growing audience of fans who tune in.Before they began their podcast, Jolenta wanted to believe the promises of self-help books, while Kristen was very much the skeptic.

They embraced their differences of opinion, hoping they'd be good for laughs and downloads.

But in the years since launching the By the Book, they've come to realize their show is about much more than humor.

In fact, reading and following each book's advice has actually changed and improved their lives.
