About this book:

How to Stop Being a Naai is a brutally funny fictional self-help guide that follows Lucian's journey from toxic train wreck to . . . well, slightly less toxic train wreck. Through his relationship with his father, his failing relationship and tough life decisions, he develops a nine-step framework that progresses from self-acceptance to channelling your inner naai constructively. In other words, he'll try anything except go to actual therapy.
