About this listen
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. Thanks to the show, Kristen penned the Amish romance novel she’d always joked about writing, traveled back to her past lives, and she broached some difficult conversations with her husband about their marriage. Jolenta finally memorized her husband’s phone number, began tracking her finances, and fell in love with cutting clutter.
In How to Be Fine, Jolenta and Kristen synthesize the lessons and insights they’ve learned and share their experiences with everyone. How to Be Fine is a thoughtful look at the books and practices that have worked, real talk on those that didn’t, and a list of philosophies they want to see explored in-depth. The topics they cover include:
- Getting off your device
- Engaging in positive self-talk
- Downsizing
- Admitting you're a liar
- Meditation
- Going outside
- Getting in touch with your emotions
- Seeing a therapist
Part memoir, part prescriptive handbook, this honest, funny, and heartfelt guide is like a warm soul-baring conversation with your closest and smartest friends.
Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Like 100 self help books in one
Love the authors and the structure of each chapter. I always find that self help books could be summed up very easily and am put off buying them so this was also a huge money saver.
Also, the chapter about undiagnosed adhd in girls made me start crying because I related so much to every symptom... Definitely have a doctors appointment to book.

One book to rule all self-help books.
Jolenta and Kristen you saved me from The subtle art of not giving a f**k. From that moment onward, you won me. This book is a soothing piece to calm, encourage and empower people.

Two writers who know best (or so they think)
I can’t believe I listened to a boom where I am lectured by two people who rail against lecturing! Ridiculous
