Beth Lisick is a contributor to public radio's This American Life, a spoken word performer, a sketch comedian, a musician, an independent film actor, and the curator of a successful storytelling series. In Helping Me Help Myself (William Morrow, $24.95), she follows through on her New-Year's resolution to spend the next 12 months with 12 self-help books, improving every aspect of her life, constantly suppressing her internal cringe mechanism along the way, and giving readers a lot to laugh about.
