Wise Up by Karen Duffy

Wise Up by Karen Duffy

A New York Times bestselling author shares wryly funny and heartwarming lessons on life, motherhood, and python attacks.



Named one of Oprah Daily's 50 Most Anticipated Books of 2022



From becoming an iconic MTV VJ to starring in Dumb and Dumber to being diagnosed with a life-threatening disease, Karen Duffy has been through a lot. But it was only when she became a mother that she realized she had some pretty solid life lessons to pass down. In her new book, she offers advice on building a friend group that is weasel free, finding the love of your life, and determining how much to tip the waiter (as with everything--be generous!). With dry humor and maternal warmth, she shows how we all can learn from unexpected philosophers, even from Bulgarian dancing bears. 

There are times in life when we should turn to the wisdom of great thinkers. And there are times when you need the kind of enlightenment that only a former Coney Island Mermaid Queen can give. Wise Up offers wisecracks--and some profound insights--in a unique book of parental inspiration.
