Bad Vibes Only by Nora Mcinerny
From the host of the podcast Terrible, Thanks for Asking--called "a gift" by The New York Times--a raw and humorous essay collection in the spirit of Jenny Lawson and Samantha Irby.Nora McInerny does not dance like no one is watching. In fact, she dances like everyone is watching, which is to say, she does not dance at all. A bestselling author and host of the beloved podcast Terrible, Thanks for Asking, she has captured the hearts of millions with her disarming and earnest approach to discussing grief and loss. Now, with Bad Vibes Only, she turns her eye on our aggressively, oppressively optimistic culture, our obsession with self-improvement, and what it really means to live authentically in the online age.
In essays that revisit her cringey past and anticipate her rapidly approaching, early middle-aged future, McInerny lays bare her own chaos, inviting us to drop the façade of perfection and embrace the truth: that we are all--at best--slightly unhinged. Socrates claimed that the unexamined life is not worth living. Bad Vibes Only is for people who have taken that dictum a bit too far--the overthinkers, the analyzers, the recovering Girl Bosses, and the burned-out personal brand--reminding us that a life worth living is about more than just "good vibes."
The Annunciation Catholic School Class of 1998 voted Nora McInerny Purmort Most Humorous. After then, it was mostly downhill, but she did get to marry Aaron Joseph Purmort (aka Spider-Man) for three lovely years. TIME, Cosmopolitan.com, Elle.com, the Huffington Post, BuzzFeed, Slate, and the Star Tribune have all featured her work. She and her son, Ralph, live in Minneapolis, Minnesota. They like their time there.
