Comedian Eugene Mirman explains ‘Modern Life’ to Mr. Media Interviews

Anyone seeking guidance on life’s difficult challenges will appreciate Eugene Mirman’s charmingly hysterical advice on everything from how to overcome social anxiety, start a band, or get cast on a reality TV show. The inspiration for Mirman’s new mock “self-help” guide The Will to Whatevs: A Guide to Modern Life originated from his career as a peer counselor at a teen-crisis hotline in high school. More recently, he has offered advice to thousands through his website, where people write in with all sorts of questions and problems (from the typical to the existential to the silly). Eugene turns to his own personal, and at times humiliating, awesome, and bizarre experiences — from his first real date to his last corporate temp job — to illustrate the trials and triumphs of modern life.

No one understands the complexities of modern life better than Eugene Mirman--claims Eugene Mirman—and anyone seeking guidance from a man who has lived through everything (except the Great Depression, the Spanish-American War, and Jerry Lee Lewis's sex scandal) won't resist this charmingly hysterical guidebook.
