Even without any ‘big’ accomplishments yet to your name, you are enough.” In this expansion of the 2017 commencement speech she gave at her hometown Langley High, Lauren Graham, the beloved star of Gilmore Girls and Parenthood, reflects on growing up, pursuing your dreams, and living in the here and now. “Whatever path you choose, whatever career you decide to go after, the important thing is that you keep finding joy in what you’re doing, especially when the joy isn’t finding you.” In her hilarious, relatable voice, Graham reminds us to be curious and compassionate, no matter where life takes us or what we’ve yet to achieve.

           A very short 28 min audiobook listen narrative from Lauren Graham, updated from a commencement speech she gave in 2017. A nice little reminder to not worry so much, work hard and enjoy the everyday things that happen to us all.

Re-read.

Whenever I feel like I'm worrying about things too much, I pick up this book. It's a really quick read, but it's got a great message. Plus, I love Lauren Graham ever so much.

In conclusion, don't worry about it

I definitely wish this was longer. I realize it’s based on a speech but for $12 I feel like it should have been longer. The content was good though.

A copy of the commencement speech Lauren Graham made at her old high school graduation in 2017.

I devoured Talking As Fast As You Can, Lauren Graham's memior, back when it first came out and immediately bought this when it was published in 2018, but never picked it up.

On a whim, I decided it was time I gave this a read, finally.

It was a nice quick read for while I try to decide what to read next. It has a good encouraging message, and contained a few relatable points I need to bear in mind for my own life.

This was short. But it was perfect. I happened to read this at the exact time I needed to. And I can tell this is one I'll be going back to regularly. Thank you, Lauren.
