The Nerdist Way: How to Reach the Next Level (in Real Life)

Readers familiar with Hardwick%E2%80%99s gig years ago on MTV%E2%80%99s Singled Out and his work more recently on Nerdist.com and G4TV%E2%80%99s Web Soup might appreciate this effort at self-help for the masses. He wants to get people to %E2%80%9Cknow more about who [they] are, why [they] should be comfortable with that, and how to leverage those attributes into getting the things [they] want%E2%80%A6Oh, and achieving happiness. That%E2%80%99s kind of a big one, too.%E2%80%9D Those new to Hardwick%E2%80%99s world, however, will neither be impressed with what he says or how he says it: the narrative is not compelling, and he tends to ramble. Discussion is divided into three broad categories: mind, body, and time. Chapters cover workout routines, healthy eating, and amusing cartoon bears weightlifting and stretching. Sections on time management and personal finance are similarly superficial. A personality-driven endeavor aimed at a built-in audience, his recommendations are straightforward without offering anything new or profound. (Nov.) Agency: Foundry
