Mindy Kaling has lived many lives: the obedient child of immigrant professionals, a timid chubster afraid of her own bike, a Ben Affleck–impersonating Off-Broadway performer and playwright, and, finally, a comedy writer and actress prone to starting fights with her friends and coworkers with the sentence “Can I just say one last thing about this, and then I swear I’ll shut up about it?”

Before Liz Lemon, before Weekend Update, before Sarah Palin, Tina Fey was just a young girl with a dream: A recurring stress dream that she was being chased through a local airport by her middle-school gym teacher. She also had a dream that one day she would be a comedian on TV. She has seen both these dreams come true. At last, Tina Fey's story can be told. From her youthful days as a vicious nerd to her tour of duty on Saturday Night Live. Tina Fey reveals all, and proves what we've always suspected: You're no one until someone calls you bossy.

Rachel DeLoache Williams’ new friend Anna Delvey, a self-proclaimed German heiress, was worldly and ambitious. She was also generous - picking up the tab for lavish dinners at Le Coucou, infrared sauna sessions at HigherDOSE, drinks at the 11 Howard Library bar, and regular workout sessions with a celebrity personal trainer. When Anna proposed an all-expenses-paid trip to Marrakech at the five-star La Mamounia hotel, Rachel jumped at the chance. But when Anna’s credit cards mysteriously stopped working, the dream vacation quickly took a dark turn.

Histoire
Jenna Fischer's Hollywood journey began at the age of 22 when she moved to Los Angeles from her hometown of St. Louis. She was determined, confident, and ready to work hard. So, what could go wrong? Uh, basically everything. The path to being a professional actor was so much more vast and competitive than she’d imagined. It would be eight long years before she landed her iconic role on The Office, nearly a decade of frustration, rejection, and doubt. If only she’d had a handbook for the aspiring actor. Or, better yet, someone to show her the way. Jenna wants to be that person for you.

All Things Aside is a punchy, honest, incisive book that shares a view of the world through the eyes of the inimitable Iliza Shlesinger. From the macro to micro, Shlesinger tackles it all with her no-bullshit comedic style. Throughout the book, Shlesinger dives from one subject into the next, making her hilarious asides the basis of her stories, much like she does in her stand-up comedy. Topics range from dissecting social expectations to the notion that products marketed specifically to women are scams, and all manner of things in between.

Description
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
From the author of Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? and creator of The Mindy Project and Never Have I Ever comes a hilarious collection of essays about her ongoing journey to find contentment and excitement in her adult life.
“This is Kaling at the height of her power.”—USA Today
In Why Not Me?, Kaling shares insightful, deeply personal stories about falling in love at work, seeking new friendships in lonely places, attempting to be the first person in history to lose weight without any behavior modification whatsoever, and believing that you have a place in Hollywood when you’re constantly reminded that no one looks like you.
In How to Look Spectacular: A Starlet’s Confessions, Kaling gives her tongue-in-cheek secrets for surefire on-camera beauty, (“Your natural hair color may be appropriate for your skin tone, but this isn’t the land of appropriate–this is Hollywood, baby. Out here, a dark-skinned woman’s traditional hair color is honey blonde.”) “Player” tells the story of Kaling being seduced and dumped by a female friend in L.A. (“I had been replaced by a younger model. And now they had matching bangs.”) In “Unlikely Leading Lady,” she muses on America’s fixation with the weight of actresses, (“Most women we see onscreen are either so thin that they’re walking clavicles or so huge that their only scenes involve them breaking furniture.”) And in “Soup Snakes,” Kaling spills some secrets on her relationship with her ex-boyfriend and close friend, B.J. Novak (“I will freely admit: my relationship with B.J. Novak is weird as hell.”)
Mindy turns the anxieties, the glamour, and the celebrations of her second coming-of-age into a laugh-out-loud funny collection of essays that anyone who’s ever been at a turning point in their life or career can relate to. And those who’ve never been at a turning point can skip to the parts where she talks about meeting Bradley Cooper.
Ce que les critiques en disent
“Kaling has written a second book that’s funnier, sharper and more confident than her 2011 collection of personal essays and pop culture riffs called Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns). Even the title of that initial effort implied that Kaling was trying to find her place; the tone of this new one announces that she’s found it and is more than comfortable inviting people to spend time with her there.”—Washington Post
“Funny, thoughtful essays and anecdotes written in the star’s trademark voice. But this time around, things are just little more grown-up…This is Kaling at the height of her power.”—USA Today
“Mindy Kaling may be gearing up for the fourth season of her TV show, The Mindy Project, but that didn't deter her from writing another wildly entertaining and completely relatable book… Her first memoir, Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns), spent time on several best-seller lists. Why Not Me? will certainly follow in its footsteps.”—Associated Press
Featured Article: Quotes About Hard Work to Keep You Motivated and Moving Forward
Anything worth achieving is worth working for. Those goals that we reach when we really strive for them, giving it our all, are the most rewarding. Whether it is taking small steps towards your goals, shooting for a new objective, or simply dreaming those big dreams, hard work is what gets us there. Trusting in yourself and your own abilities will allow you to dig deep, put in the time, and get where you want to be. Everything is achievable with the right mindset.

Huge role model!
As a therapist, I appreciate being able to recommend books to clients who want someone that “looks” like us as a role model in their industry. Mindy represents so much to us — a businesswoman, a creative person, and a woman with some colour and culture on her. Great book. Insightful and relatable.

Not for me
I really like some of Mindy's previous works and that motivated me to try this out as my first audible book. I was confident that i would have a lot of fun listening to this and that it would make my weekend. But oh dear lord! what a disappointment... 25% into the book, i still did not have a clue on the point the author was trying to make and why the title of the book was 'Why not me'.
I then fast forwarded to the last 15 minutes and i still was not clear. I was hoping this would be kind of an inspirational book + a fun read, but it was none of the former and not even the latter. She talked a lot, about a lot of things, but at the end of each chapter i was either thinking 'how is this relevant to me?' or 'are you saying this is how things operate in certain places or situations, just accept it and deal with it?' There was no shattering the ceiling, pushing boundaries, questioning the norm, making a difference - none of these.. May be that wasn't the point of the book? Again, not sure what the purpose of the book is
Such a disappointment from Mindy

Unrelatable but the audio is well performed
Mindy's first book, "Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?" was a relatable collection of essays, so I had high expectations for this follow-up. This book, "Why Not Me?" feels less relatable. In summary, it's: "O.M.G, you guys, I am so famous, but not like *too* famous, but here's my experience of fame. Oh, and I have body issues, and here's some common-sense advice about confidence."
I guess I am disappointed because I usually love Mindy's work, but this book felt like a humble-brag. It feels like Mindy's authentic voice from her first book is lost beneath her tales of her now-Hollywood life. I listened to some of the essays from her third collection of essays "Nothing Like I Imagined", and at that point she seems to get back to a more authentic and relatable voice; "Why Not Me?" was a struggle to get through.
Although I did not enjoy the content, the performance of the audio was good and there were some parts that were entertaining.

I liked this book and the stories Mindy writes about. I expected more of a reflection on the title, instead the book relates many stories about the world and how Mindy sees life. I'm not dissapointed by this book just expected some different stories.
Overall it's funny, it was entertaining.

this book will keep you smiling along the way.
I'm a huge fan of Mindy and I loved her last book. This one did not disappoint! The only reason I didn't give it the full five stars is because I felt that it got a little bit long in the tooth when she was writing hypothetical e-mails back and forth to hypothetical people. But nonetheless, that portion was also very funny. I think it's great that Mindy can be real with us about who she is and what it takes to look like an average celebrity in Hollywood. Read this book, or rather listen to this book, if you just want a feel-good experience.
