What if this were enough?: essays / Heather Havrilesky, 228 pgs.
At first I could not discern the link. How does this collection relate? Then I went back to the title and realized how it says it all. Topics range from relationships to pop culture to family life. Sometimes it is a matter of perspective. Do we really need to spend a lot of our time every day being told that we need to change, improve, buy better stuff? Sometimes we need to look around and at ourselves and be happy with what we see. The author is an advice columnist so is well acquainted with human struggles. I'm sure some of her comparisons and comments went over my head but lots of it strikes me as very wise. Interesting and relevant.
