description: NATIONAL BESTSELLERFrom 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 faade of perfection and embrace the that we are allat bestslightly 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 farthe overthinkers the analyzers the recovering Girl Bosses and the burned-out personal brandreminding us that a life worth living is about more than just good vibes.
