Description
Trying to Be Good: The Healing Powers of Lying, Cheating, Stealing, and Drugs by popular radio host, theater maker, online personality, and storyteller Emelia Symington Fedy is her dark and comical story of her addiction to self-help and absolutely obsessive odyssey to find inner peace at all costs.
A ruthless inquiry into her own demons, Emelia never lets herself off the hook on her search, and after a lifetime of misadventures - spending close to $90,000 and two decades hunting down shamans, hypnotists, soul advisors, and online gurus; turning to drugs, bad sex, vaginal weightlifting classes, crystal bowl regression ceremonies, and cosmic dolphins trying to fill the void - her spiritual reckoning finally came when the death of her mom coincided with the birth of her first child.
Rocked with grief, Emelia had no choice but to quit her life-long quest for contentment. She quit drugs. She quit yoga. She quits the search. And in turning towards her pain, Emelia finally finds what she's been longing for her whole life. She can't escape. She's here. She can feel it all.

Incredible!
I couldn't stop listening. Emelia is a brilliant performer, storyteller and writer! This is so much more than a book. She just took me on a VERY incredible journey and all I have to say is, Thank You! Thank you for your mindful self reflection, your humour, your determination and your humanity. Thank you for your guts and your heart! Thank you for your example. Artists like you are rare. You have raised the bar for those of us who dare to share our stories, and who value vulnerability and tell-it-like-it-is memoirs. Bravo!

The NEW Eat, Pray, Love but relatable
Wow.
I've never heard such searing self- reflection. And so hilarious.
This is a new genre.
It's so much more than an audiobook, with her performance and personality and the sound design- it's like a movie for my ears. My toes were clenching in awe. She gets me. She's telling the truth! So real and brave and touching. Wow. Blown away!

Fantastic and inspiring!
Emelia's frank, brutal, and honest approach to her story is such a refreshing and disarming experience. She pulls no punches and lays bare her own life so we might contemplate our own. Fantastic stuff!!
