Bad Vibes Only
In a series of essays that span her childhood to present, Nora introduces us to her mind and her world while inviting us to more closely observe our own. We meet the people that challenge, question, and make Nora reflect on her own life, habits, and personality: her children, and their homework meltdowns, job searches, and online personalities; her college friend who now lives as a cloistered nun; and her uncle, a philosopher who has never used the internet (gasp!).
"The way Nora's words can actually make you cry with laughter is a gift."Samantha Irby, New York Times bestselling author
A raw and humorous essay collection in the spirit of Little Weirds and Everything Happens for a Reason.
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.
