Advice I Ignored: Stories and Wisdom from a Formerly Depressed Teenager - Paperback

by Ruby Walker (Author)

Advice I Ignored is the only book about teenage depression that was actually written by a teenager

When Ruby Walker was fifteen, she went from a numb, silent, miserable high school dropout to a joyous loudmouth in one year flat. Advice I Ignored answers the question everyone's been asking her since: What happened? In ten illustrated chapters, you'll learn how to:

• get out from under self-hatred
  
• gain a sense of free will
  
• deal with failure without falling apart
  
• create your way through an existential crisis
  
• use exercise to beg your brain for endorphins
  
• have an identity beyond "sad"
  
• and more
  

Full of embarrassing stories, honest advice, and fierce hope, Advice I Ignored is a self-help book for people who hate help. And themselves.
