Synopsis: Advice for graduates and reflections on staying true to yourself from the beloved Gilmore Girl acctress and New York Times bestselling author of the memoir Talking as Fast as I Can and the novel Someday, Someday, Maybe.
"If you're not where youwant to be on this day - don't worry about it. Because the spotlight aspect of life? That's not the satisfying part."
In this expansion of her 2017 commencement speech at her hometome Langley High, Lauren Graham reflects in her hilarious, relatable voice, on growing up, pursuing your dreams, and living in the here-and-now. "Whatever path upi choose, whatever career you decide to go after, the important thing." She reminds us to be curious and compassionate, no matter where life takes you, "Whether you hope to be an actop or a politician ot a mathematician, I've learned that empathy and kindness are your most vauable tools." Grounding and inspiring, this is Graham's roadmap to a happy life; "Be a fan, not a theater critic."
My Review: This is a short and sweet book about the commencement speech that Ms Graham made at her old high school in 2017 that her dad signed her up for with some awesome advice. The things that she talks about are relatable and motivational.
She talks about life and how no matter what you go on to do after high school don't stress about what comes next as you never know where life will take you even if you think that you have it all figured out.
The message of the story is that if you don't know what you want to do with life after high school then that's fine you have time to decide later in life and it will all be okay, as long as you embrace the present and do not worry about the future.
I really loved the little doodles that she included in with the book.
