This book got great reviews, so I had high hopes. Unfortunately, I didn't agree with those reviewers :-( Maybe it was because I'm not a bra-burning feminist, or a single, lesbian mother who grew up on the west coast? I guess I should have known when I learned that she publishes a magazine called Hip Mama... I picked up a copy & immediately found it a total waste of paper. IMHO, that is. Others must like it, as it has been successful for 17 years.

I appreciated Ariel Gore’s insights into happiness and optimism in this memoir/social commentary. I strongly recommend it to those who have enjoyed her previous work or readers who are interested in positive psychology.
