An illustrated guide to embracing your inner ogre and living your truth, mud, farts, and all.

“There’s a lot more to ogres than people think. Ogres are like onions. Onions have layers. Ogres have layers.” —Shrek
 
With bite-sized advice that feels attainable rather than exhausting, How to Be More Shrek will teach you how to set boundaries, peel back your layers, learn to love your inner (and outer) ogre, fill your swamp with all the right fairytale creatures, and make your own happily ever after.
 
This hilarious book will empower you to have your eyeball jelly on toast and eat it too.

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.
