And You May Find Yourself...

Confessions of a Late-Blooming Gen-X Weirdo

De: Sari Botton

Narrado por: Sari Botton

Gen-X author and Oldster Magazine/Memoir Land editor Sari Botton reads her celebrated memoir, "And You May Find Yourself...", about finding yourself later in life—after first getting lost in all the wrong places. As Botton discovers, the wrong places famously include her own self-suppression and misguided efforts to please others (mostly men). In a series of candid, reflective, sometimes humorous essays, Botton describes coming to feminism and self-actualization as an older person; second (and third and fourth) chances; and how maybe it's never too late to find your way...assuming you're lucky enough to live long.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"In her edgy, tender, witty way, Sari Botton has written a book for any woman who ever contorted herself to fit culturally imposed ideals, in other words, all of us. In witnessing the ways Sari has fought and failed and flourished, in the poignancy and laughter, there is deep wisdom and an abundance of spirit."

—Beverly Donofrio, author of "Riding in Cars with Boys"

"A fresh and humorous meditation on the trials and tribulations of a smart Gen-X young woman who tries to extricate herself from a straitlaced suburban upbringing to become a cool, East Village girl, only to keep falling for the wrong man, the wrong therapist, and the wrong job... until she doesn't. Botton's hilarious and self-aware pages on dating all the wrong men recall some of Candace Bushnell's original Sex and the City essays and Helen Fielding's Bridget Jones' Diary."

—Catherine Texier, author of "Breakup"

"A humanizing, humble, and hard look at a life. Investigative journalism of the soul. Sari Botton's And You May Find Yourself is like the older sister of My Misspent Youth by Meghan Daum. You will absolutely find yourself in this intelligent, clever, and clear-hearted book."

—Chloe Caldwell, author of "The Red Zone: A Love Story"

Boring and Self Important

You know those type of people that talk at you ad nauseam about themselves? That’s the experience you may have listening to this book. The author talks about the topics she discusses with her therapist. There is nothing insightful that she shares. Also, she has no special qualifications in sociology or psychology to inspire others. This was a tale of self importance.
