Busy Philipps
About this listen
A collection of humorous autobiographical essays by the beloved comedic actress known for her roles on Freaks and Geeks, Dawson’s Creek, and Cougartown who has become “[T]he breakout star on Instagram stories.... [I]magine I Love Lucy mixed with a modern lifestyle guru” (The New Yorker).
Busy Philipps’ autobiographical audiobook offers the same unfiltered and candid storytelling that her Instagram followers have come to know and love, from growing up in Scottsdale, Arizona, and her painful and painfully funny teen years to her life as a working actress, mother, and famous best friend.
Busy is the rare entertainer whose impressive arsenal of talents as an actress is equally matched by her storytelling ability, sense of humor, and sharp observations about life, love, and motherhood. Her conversational writing reminds us what we love about her on screens large and small. From film to television to Instagram, Busy delightfully showcases her wry humor and her willingness to bare it all.
“I’ve been waiting my whole life to write this book. I’m just so grateful someone asked. Otherwise, what was the point of any of it?”

Story
If it weren’t for Emma Johnson, Caryn Johnson would have never become Whoopi Goldberg. Emma gave her children the loving care and wisdom they needed to succeed in life, always encouraging them to be true to themselves. When Whoopi lost her mother in 2010—and then her older brother, Clyde, five years later—she felt deeply alone; the only people who truly knew her were gone. Emma raised her children not just to survive, but to thrive. In this intimate and heartfelt memoir, Whoopi shares many of the deeply personal stories of their lives together for the first time.

Story
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.

Story
Comedy superstar Mike Myers writes from the (true patriot) heart about his 53-year relationship with his beloved Canada. Mike Myers is a world-renowned actor, director and writer and the man behind some of the most memorable comic characters of our time. But, as he says, "No description of me is truly complete without saying I'm a Canadian". He has often winked and nodded to Canada in his outrageously accomplished body of work, but now he turns the spotlight full-beam on his homeland.

Relatable and Entertaining! We are all Busy.
Loved this book. Busy's real no-nonsense style comes across perfectly in this memoir. I am the same age and could put myself in her shoes for many of the book's life moments. Thank you for sharing your journey, Busy!

Witty, real and everything you want it to be!
This book is everything you expect it to be from the hilarious rebel that is the talented Busy Philipps. She is real about Hollywood in a way that many other celebs have never done or would be scared to do. She talks about tough things and is brutally honest about her struggles and how they have affected her and shaped her into the person she is today. She will take you on an emotional journey. It will gut punch you in places and in other places will make you angry and even heartbroken but make no mistake, this book will make you laugh because she IS the witty rebel you expect her to be. She just doesn’t give a f*ck and is simply here to tell her story, the good, the bad and the ugly!

Refreshingly Raw
I love Busy Phillips, so when I found this on Audible, I had to buy it. I was not disappointed. I listened while on a long-distance drive.
I laughed. I cried. I cringed.
It was a genuine, raw, drama-filled, but easy, listen. Like she was telling the story at a sleepover in our pj’s.
More, please!!
