AN INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

The
world’s most entertaining and useless self-help guide, from the brilliant
mind behind the wildly popular webcomic xkcd and the million-selling What
If? and Thing Explainer

For
any task you might want to do, there’s a right way, a wrong way, and a way so
monumentally bad that no one would ever try it. How To is a guide to
the third kind of approach. It’s full of highly impractical advice for
everything from landing a plane to digging a hole.

‘How strange science can fix everyday problems’ New Scientist
