About the Author

For the past two decades, children of all ages have been enchanted by the delightfully irreverent adventures of a frightfully misunderstood ogre and his ragtag group of roguish fairytale folk. Beginning with Shrek, the 2002 Academy Award ® winner for Best Animated Feature, Shrek, Fiona, Donkey, Puss in Boots and their signature friends, family and tormentors have grown into an indelible part of pop culture—through a series of four films that have earned more than $2.9 billion and spawned a global live-touring show, an immersive, top-tourist destination in London, as well as popular events and attractions across Universal Studios Parks worldwide.

Introduction

This is not your mother’s fairy tale . . .

Life can feel like a fairy tale at times, such as when you are soaking up a hard-earned mud bath in which you can freely unclench and let those post-meal, gaseous emissions escape unhindered. Ah, yes, the good life. But, alas, life also has its challenges. It can be difficult enough just to get through the day keeping a low profile, dodging judgment, and gathering your very particular brand of grosseries without the neighbors and their pitchforks in your face. And if you find yourself underestimated—yet feel simultaneously overburdened—by every new acquaintance, fear not! For Shrek knows firsthand about such annoyances and has paved a bright, torchlit path to follow in order to proactively create the happily-ever-after of your dreams.

How to Be More Shrek is your guide to living life on your terms. Herein lie the wit and wisdom of a decision-making powerhouse—an ogre for our age, a larger-than-life sage—who will motivate you to go forth with confidence in every aspect of your life. Following his ways, layer by oniony layer, will show you that, like Shrek, you, too, can be someone to respect, someone to revere, someone to be more like.
