The Indignities of Being a Woman candidly traces the history of womanhood and investigates how much things have really changed for womankind. By carefully x-raying areas such as body image, marriage, mental illness, fashion, and politics, this audiobook examines what it was like to be a woman in the past versus what it’s like now, when women are constantly told equality between the sexes exists but reality proves otherwise.

"Jack's in charge," said his mother, as she disappeared up the road to get help. "I won't be long." So 11-year-old Jack and his two sisters wait on the hard shoulder in their stifling, broken-down car, bickering and whining and playing I-Spy until she comes back. But their mother doesn't come back. She never comes back. And after that long hot summer day, nothing will ever be the same again. Three years later, Jack's 15 and still in charge.

Story
At last, the definitive audiobook about perhaps the best cabin crew dramedy ever filmed: View from the Top starring Gwyneth Paltrow. In Ayoade on Top, Richard Ayoade, perhaps one of the most 'insubstantial' people of our age, takes us on a journey from Peckham to Paris by way of Nevada and other places we don't care about. It's a journey deep within, in a way that's respectful and non-invasive; a journey for which we will all pay a heavy price, even if you've waited for the smaller paperback edition. Ayoade argues for the canonisation of this brutal masterpiece.

When Natasha Leggero got pregnant at 42 after embarking on the grueling IVF process, she was over the moon. But once her feelings of bliss dissipated, she couldn’t help but shake the lingering question: Am I doing this right? And then, Should I be doing this if the world is about to end? In The World Deserves My Children, Natasha explores themes like “geriatric” motherhood, parenting in an environmental panic, fear and love, discipline (and conflicting schools of thought on how not to raise a brat), and more.

Rising young comedian Moshe Kasher is lucky to be alive. He started using drugs when he was just 12. At that point, he had already been in psychoanlysis for eight years. By the time he was 15, he had been in and out of several mental institutions, drifting from therapy to rehab to arrest to...you get the picture. But Kasher in the Rye is not an "eye opener" to the horrors of addiction. It's a hilarious memoir about the absurdity of it all.

Publisher's Summary
A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER. From writer/director Cazzie David comes a series of acerbic, darkly funny essays about anxiety, social media, misanthropy, and growing up in a wildly eccentric family.
For Cazzie David, the world is one big trap door leading to death and despair and social phobia. From shame spirals caused by hookups to panic attacks about being alive and everyone else having to be alive too, David chronicles her life’s most chaotic moments with wit, bleak humor, and a mega-dose of self-awareness.
In No One Asked for This, David provides listeners with a singular but ultimately relatable tour through her mind, as she explores existential anxiety, family dynamics, and the utterly modern dilemma of having your breakup displayed on the Internet. With pitch-black humor resonant of her father, comedy legend Larry David, and topics that speak uniquely to generational malaise, No One Asked for This is the perfect companion for when you don’t really want a companion.
"Blisteringly honest...kind of like if a David Sedaris book was written by an anxiety-ridden millennial who grew up in Hollywood."—Entertainment Weekly
"Cazzie David is the delicious antidote to the poison of basic influencer culture. This book will make all misanthropes feel seen and loved—well, seen and tolerated."—Diablo Cody, screenwriter and author of Candy Girl

Interesting story. Worth a listen.
I've seen a lot of people complain because she's from a famous/wealthy family to but I found it an interesting reminder that money cannot solve all problems. She obviously struggles with mental health, and it's refreshing to hear someone talk about their struggles, despite their wealth.

Can “maybe” understand the people who disn’t like the book (if they wanted a lighthearted story). But this is not it!!! Just go read the latest romance or superficial self help. This is not for you.
This book touches me in so many way, when you have, like me, event a bit of anxiety, selfdoubt, ptsd… this book is awsome! She puts words on emotions and feelings that I couldnt. Thank you thank you! And can only say BRAVO.

not worth the credit
This was written by someone who clearly is very out of touch with reality and has way too much time/money on her hands. I wanted to like this as I think her dad is hilarious, but this reads like my diary in high school. No way this would have been published if her dad wasn't rich and famous.

Painful to listen to
I love Cazzie David. I find her sarcastically hilarious and witty. Was expecting this book to be at least a. It funny at times.
After just over two hours of listening to this book, I had to force myself to stop if I wanted to keep my sanity. Her story telling is dark and depressing. I felt myself being dragged deep into a manic depressive hole and it was not a good feeling. I am still at a loss of words as to how horrible listening to this book was. I will give it a shot by actually reading a paperback, but please spare yourself of the awful experience that I had by listening to it.

This book is so inspiring hope Cazzie writes more💕
This is like hanging out with a really interesting friend and not being stressed to say something interesting yourself. You can just relax and have her beautiful funny thoughts wash over you. All the essays have a beautiful reverence for life even when she’s saying she’s almost afraid to live. I’m a New Yorker listening to this on a cloudy day by a lake and her voice is a purrfect soundtrack. Yes I said purrfect because like a cat Cazzie seems to hate herself probably almost as much as we love her!
Also not like Larry David will ever see this but he’s pretty lucky to have such a funny daughter & I think she should be on Curbed as it would give younger viewers someone to love watching. I like the idea of Curb but find most the characters are too old for me to relate too but Cazzie’s voice is amazing & clearly she’s a good writer. So I guess just giving her her own show would also work or letting her write for herself on Curbed. It’s pretty lucky we get another funny mind like Larry but with a female pov.
Anyway I love this book clearly so that’s all I really have to say about it along with hey more books please! Maybe a movie too and a show, ok.

Love
I love this compilation of essays, I found that many of Cazzie’s feelings were relatable. As well as her own thoughts, anxieties, and even certain troubles in her family life. It gave me a sort of comfort, reminding me that I’m not the only person in the world who struggles with certain things, things I would have initially thought that I was unique to experiencing though being just 19. As well as those feelings fueled by paranoia or bouts of self-reluctance or doubt, and anxieties that I felt bothered/annoyed others and worried my siblings and my parents. She’s also very funny and admirable in my opinion and super gorgeous.
I very much appreciate the release! :)
