Last updated October 31, 2026
By Faith Salie
Faith Salie, a journalist and comedian, tells candid and funny stories about a lifetime spent trying to win other people's approval. She looks back on childhood pageants, her student years at Oxford, dating, marriage and divorce. She also writes about fertility struggles, motherhood and her career in television and radio. Each story examines a different way of caring too much about what others think, and what she learned from finally letting some of it go.
