Small Doses

By: Amanda Seales

Narrated by: Amanda Seales

Insightful essays, poignant life advice, and pithy pearls of wisdom from one of comedy’s brightest rising stars

Comedian, writer, actress, and social media star Amanda Seales is a force of nature who has fearlessly and passionately charted her own course through life and career. Now, in her one-of-a-kind voice that blends academic intellectualism, Black American colloquialisms, and pop culture fanaticism, she’s bringing her life’s lessons and laughs in this audiobook. This volume of essays and axioms provides Seales’s trademark “self-help from the hip” style of commentary, fueled by ideology formed from her own victories, struggles, research, mistakes, risks, and pay-offs. Unapologetic, fiercely funny, and searingly honest, Small Doses engages, empowers, and enlightens listeners on how to find their truths while still finding the funny!

Amanda is the perfect balance between radical and rational. She gives us a manual for navigating life as a women. This book is awesome, it calls you on your bull**** but also gives you solid advice on how to navigate towards better. Thank you Amanda..

Small Doses

Absolutely loved this book/Audible. Amanda in my opinion is an acquired taste that I cannot get enough of. She draws you in with her experience and at the same time educates you in a way that makes you want to do more research on the topics. Great read and worth a listen.

Honest, Insightful, and Funny

This is by far one of my most favorite books to read and to hear read to me by Amanda Seales herself. I enjoy her podcast Small Doses and this is like the extended and in more detail version of her podcast [cute little side effects and all <3]

This book is aimed specifically at women, black women in particular, but I HIGHLY recommend this book to guys as well, straight men in particular, because it really provides some great useful do's and don'ts and other key gems that could help them in their pursuit of love.

As a quirky gay black male creative myself, I relate a lot to the gems that Amanda drops all throughout this book. I had so many ah-ha moments and in many cases it was like hearing someone read my own diary to me which is SO NICE to hear someone speak my truth to me and call me in on things that I do and can do better about.

Overall, this book is a MUST READ!! I could really go on and on about this book which is why I bought my best friend a hard copy so we could discuss it together. lol

AMAZING....

Her commentary along with her reading was what I needed to get all the experience of Amanda Seales... I’m going to listen again to catch all the gems she dropped.. Great read and listen.

Wow

This was the best book I’ve ever read. She is so brilliant and smart. Funny and quick. She is unapologetically black.

Thank YOU

I didn’t know I needed this book until I listened to this on audiobook. Thanks for sharing your truth with me. Keep pushing, you are a rare soul.

If you like the podcast you will love this book

My issue with Seales's podcast is that the episodes aren't long enough. This book expands on a lot of what she talks about in her dope podcast. I also found the chapter about being a multi-hyphenate to be especially relatable and give my personal existence some grounding. Due to this grounding, I've ventured into taking my projects more seriously so that I can start to live a life that I enjoy.

Thanks for your authenticity.

Yesss girl

I love everything about this book ! I love and appreciate Amanda for taking the time to even do this !!!!

I never write reviews!

I never write reviews! This book was absolutely AMAZING! Referred by a friend and glad I listened. Didn’t know much about Amanda Seales prior to reading the book. But I will for sure listen to anything this woman writes, narrates or stars in. Loved it! She’s educated, confident, entertaining and funny as hell!

Great Listen

I really appreciated all of the stories and perspective. This book balanced entertainment and information masterfully.
