Synopsis

If you've ever dared to express dissatisfaction with the state of your life, you've inevitably received a variety of helpful suggestions: "Have you tried meditation? Exercise? A cult? An exercise cult?" In Do I Feel Better Yet?, Madeleine Trebenski explores more than 45 so-called solutions suggested to her in the name of self-care. In a playful and at times sardonic chronicle of the elusive promises of multistep skin-care routines, gratitude journaling, scented candles, and more, Trebenski perfectly captures what it's like to live in a time when homemade kombucha and weighted blankets are said to single-handedly solve all our problems. These essays will make you laugh, make you feel less alone, and maybe make you feel better—even if just for a little while.

À propos de l'auteur

Madeleine Trebenski has written for McSweeney's, the New Yorker, Outside Magazine, and more. Her piece "The Girl from Avril Lavigne's 'Sk8er Boi' Responds 18 Years Later" has gone viral twice and her work has been featured on Elizabeth Banks's "My Body, My Podcast."

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

If you've ever expressed even the slightest bit of dissatisfaction with the current state of your life, you've inevitably gotten the response, ''Have you tried meditation? A 12-step skin care routine? Nature bathing? This very specific currently trending herbal supplement? Exercise? Joining a cult? Joining an exercise cult?'' and a variety of other helpful suggestions. This book explores these topics with intellectual essays like ''I'm Moving to the Woods to Live in a Nightmare Shack'' and ''Please Try Our Irresponsibly Expensive Makeup Stick.'' It also features some incredibly important guides like, ''How to Tell if Your Underwear Is Expensive Enough'' and ''Do You Want a Snack or Are You Just Horny?'' As well as some weird stories about fictional men who may or may not have ruined the author's chances of ever having a functional relationship. But, most importantly, if you learn anything from this book, it's that a $72 ceramic mug made by a Portland artisan is not going to change your life.
