Description

The nerd brain is wired differently. However nerds are cool. Nerds are fighting back. Nerd glasses are being sported by the Shoreditch set and geek chic is all over the runaway. Pop culture is obsessed with the geek and Chris Hardwick's self-help book could not be more opportune. As an adult Hardwick had relegated his teenage 'nerd' characteristics, feeling they were useless when attempting to get ahead in modern, extrovert society; however he soon realised the nerd way could be useful. Packed full of tips to overcome anxiety and improving time management.
