New York Situations bestselling author and stand-up comedian Jen Kirkman delivers a hilarious, candid memoir about marriage, divorce, sex, turning forty, and still nearly having life determined.

Jen Kirkman really wants to become the voice in your head that says, Hey, you’re okay. Even if you occasionally believe you aren’t! And particularly if other people make an effort to tell you you’re not.

In I UNDERSTAND What I’m Doing-and Other Lies I Tell Myself, Jen offers up all the gory information on a life permanently in progress..Read More approximately I Know What I’m Doing — and Other Lies I Inform Myself: Dispatches from a Life Under Building She reassures you that it’s okay to not have got life completely determined, even when you reach middle age group (and find your first gray pubic hair!). She discusses making unusual or unpopular life decisions (such as cultivating a “friend with benefits” or not really going house for the holiday season) because you don’t always want for yourself what everyone else seems to believe you should. It’s about renting when everyone says you should own, dating around when everyone thinks you should relax, and traveling only when everyone pities you for going to Paris with out a man.

From marriage to divorce and sex to mental health, I Know What I’m Doing-and Various other Lies I Tell Myself is about embracing the fact that life is a tiny sh*t display and it’s definitely a lot more than alright to stay true to yourself.
