Story
When Kristi stopped drinking, she started noticing things. Like when you give up a debilitating habit, it leaves a space, one that can’t easily be filled by mocktails or ice cream or sex or crafting. And when you cancel Rosé Season for yourself, you’re left with just summer, and that’s when you notice that the women around you are tanked - that alcohol is the oil in the motors that keeps them purring when they could be making other kinds of noise. In her sharp, incisive debut essay collection, Coulter reveals a portrait of a life in transition.

When Amanda Montei became a parent, she struggled with the physicality of caring for children, but even more with the growing lack of autonomy she felt in her personal and professional life. The conditions of modern American parenthood—the lack of paid leave and affordable childcare, the isolation and alienation, the distribution of labor in her home, and the implicit demands of marriage—were not what she had expected. After #MeToo, however, she began to see a connection between how women were feeling in motherhood and the larger culture of assault in which she had grown up.

But Athena’s a cross-genre literary darling, and June didn’t even get a paperback release. Nobody wants stories about basic white girls, June thinks. So when June witnesses Athena’s death in a freak accident, she acts on impulse: she steals Athena’s just-finished masterpiece, an experimental novel about the unsung contributions of Chinese laborers to the British and French war efforts during World War I.

Every day we experience the uncertainty, risks, and emotional exposure that define what it means to be vulnerable or to dare greatly. Based on 12 years of pioneering research, Dr. Brené Brown dispels the cultural myth that vulnerability is weakness and argues that it is, in truth, our most accurate measure of courage. Brown explains how vulnerability is both the core of difficult emotions like fear, grief, and disappointment, and the birthplace of love, belonging, joy, empathy, innovation, and creativity.

Publisher's summary
This program is read by the author.
A candid, intensely funny memoir of ambition, gender, and a grueling decade inside Amazon.com, from the author of Nothing Good Can Come from This.
"A unique and brilliant book." —Oliver Burkeman, author of Four Thousand Weeks
What would you sacrifice for your career? All your free time? Your sense of self-worth? Your sanity?
In 2006, Kristi Coulter left her cozy but dull job for a promising new position at the fast-growing Amazon.com, but she never expected the soul-crushing pressure that would come with it.
In no time she found the challenge and excitement she'd been craving—along with seven-day workweeks, lifeboat exercises, widespread burnout, and a culture driven largely by fear. But the chase, the visibility, and, let's face it, the stock options proved intoxicating, and so, for twelve years, she stayed—until she no longer recognized the face in the mirror or the mission she'd signed up for.
Unsparing, absurd, and wickedly funny, Exit Interview is a rare journey inside the crucible that is Amazon. It is an intimate, surprisingly relatable look at the work life of a driven woman in a world that loves the idea of female ambition but balks at the reality.
A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux.
Critic reviews
"A unique and brilliant book—both a hilarious memoir of one woman's journey through the extremes of corporate America and a poignant and arresting account of what modern work culture can do to the soul. I found myself reading passages aloud to anyone who'd listen."—Oliver Burkeman, author of Four Thousand Weeks
"With wry humor, Coulter provides candid insights about life, love, and gender as well as surviving a toxic workplace."—Kirkus
“Kristi Coulter has given us the most vivid account yet of Amazon’s chaotic, mercurial, dignity-crushing office culture. Exit Interview is also a very funny and intensely personal depiction of what it’s like to be female in the oppressively male world of technology.”—Brad Stone, author of The Everything Store and Amazon Unbound

When Michael Lewis first met him, Sam Bankman-Fried was the world’s youngest billionaire and crypto’s Gatsby. CEOs, celebrities, and leaders of small countries all vied for his time and cash after he catapulted, practically overnight, onto the Forbes billionaire list. Who was this rumpled guy in cargo shorts and limp white socks, whose eyes twitched across Zoom meetings as he played video games on the side? In Going Infinite Lewis sets out to answer this question, taking listeners into the mind of Bankman-Fried.

Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

In weeks after the September 11 attacks, 18-year-old Mansoor Adayfi was kidnapped by Afghan militia and sold to US forces for bounty money. After months of interrogations, he was sent to the US military prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, as one of its first prisoners. Like the nearly 800 other men imprisoned at Guantanamo, Adayfi didn’t know why he was imprisoned or for how long. He had never seen a skyscraper and couldn’t imagine what the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center looked like, much less how they were destroyed.

Freeway Rick Ross: The Untold Autobiography is an intimate look at the day-to-day dealings of a drug kingpin in the heart of the ghetto. It's also the story of a boy born in poverty in Texas who grew up in a single-parent household in the heart of South Central, who was pushed through the school system each year and came out illiterate. His options were few, and he turned to drug dealing. This untold autobiography is not only personal, but also historical in its implications.

One of his high school classmates, Danny Corwin, was a vicious serial killer.

It is also a story of Texas politics and power that led the good citizens of the town of Temple to enable a demon who was their worst nightmare.

Her first gig - watching the hidden-camera feed of an author suspected of storing contraband goods - turns out to be inconvenient. Her next gives way to the supernatural: announcing advertisements for shops that mysteriously disappear. As she moves from job to job, it becomes increasingly apparent that she's not searching for the easiest job at all but something altogether more meaningful.

At past fifty, every hair’s root is a symbol of knowledge (she knows how to use a landline), experience (she rode in a car with no seat belts), and superpowers (a gray-haired lady can get away with anything). Though navigating midlife is initially upsetting—the cracking noises coming from her new old body, receiving regular junk mail from mortuaries—Laurie accepts it. And then some.

Rather than treat work as a calling or a dream, he asks what it would take to reframe work as a part of life rather than the entirety of our lives. What does it mean for a job to be good enough?

MLMs thrive in rural areas and on military bases, targeting women with promises of being their own boss and millions of dollars in easy income—even at the risk of their entire life savings. But the vast majority—99.7%—of those who join an MLM make no money or lose money, and wind up stuck with inventory they can’t sell to recoup their losses.

Touted as a book about women in tech, but ....
Coulter does talk a lot about the experience of a woman working in tech, but this book is about so much more. Also, the futility of the struggle that is corporate work. Also becoming a good German, and following orders. How mediocre managers ruin lives managing everything but people. Well worth the time.

Women, Wine, and Work
I read the author’s first book and loved it, which is also about women, work, and wine. It’s a smart documentary into the life of the ambitious working woman and why we all drink. I enjoyed it and the author is honest and witty.

A mirror of my own experiences
I’m thankful as a woman & Amazon employee that this book exists. Listening to this, I could feel so much of my own experience reflected in the ways she talked about being shuffled, meeting ever changing deadlines, and transforming herself into someone different to fit the culture while also never quite measuring up. Though this book is hyper focused on the Amazon experience, I think many women can probably relate to the feeling of trying to make yourself more digestible for others, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this to any of my coworkers-workers or girlfriends grinding through corporate life.

Not Just an Amazon Story
I started listening to this account to better understand the culture of Amazon, the nature of assimilating to its corporate "hamster wheel" and, in the process, better support a dear friend who also courageously moved her family across the country to work for Amazon. I was awe before; my respect has only grown exponentially.
Little did I know that this memoir would also tell my professional story, as educator and counselor. The final chapter (and all others) drew me in, exposing how universal the Amazon experience is in reality.
This is a must-read! I laughed outloud many times and learned so much.

Great Memoir
I’ll admit that I am slightly biased as a fellow Amazonian that didn’t know the author, but worked there during the same time frame. I truly loved listening to her memoir and learning about her experience as another person working in the same demanding, exhilarating, challenging and exhausting place. There are so many parallels to my own experience that at times I felt like she was in my own head, putting words to things I had observed along the way. She is an excellent story teller and I don’t think you need to have worked here to appreciate her experience and insights into the benefits and pitfalls of corporate tech. A great read!

True, kind, smart
Embodied truth-telling. I feel more free within myself for having read-experienced Kristi’s story. This isn’t just a thing my intellect consumed, but the whole of me experienced.

It's not just Amazon
Kristi does a great job of describing what a career in tech looks like over time. Those of us who've been caught in the toxic shadow of Sheryl Sanders' "Lean In" mythology rarely want to admit -- and never publicly -- that Kristi is right: you can NEVER outrun being a woman. And boys clubs designed for boys are inherently designed to make sure women remain the outsiders, not matter how many token examples sneak in the door.
I appreciated Kristi's personal evolution to redefining her priorities for herself, and to stepping away. I am seeing this happen more and more among my female peers after 25+ years in the space. Kristi's story speaks to a lot of our collective experiences across the industry, not just for the people -- and especially the women -- at any one company.

An Incredible, Relatable Experience
Kristi Coulter did an amazing job capturing the absurdity, the intensity, and the sheer anger that women coming up through startups and big tech have to endure. As someone who went through similar experiences at a Amazon-like company, her words (and the artful way she told her story with both realism and absurdism) cut me deep and made my cry, laugh, and wince in turns.
Loved this book so much!

There’s no place quite like Amazon
Pretty accurate depiction of Amazon, at least based on my ~10 years there: equally thrilling and frustrating. Had a number of PTSD moments listening to this audiobook but I’m glad I stuck with it to hear Kristi’s whole story.

Great, great, great
So well written and applicable. Listening to this book adds a step to my ongoing journey toward lowering similarly-acquired cortisol.
