Back when restaurant menus were still printed on paper, and wearing a mask—or not—was a decision made mostly on Halloween, David Sedaris spent his time doing normal things. As Happy-Go-Lucky opens, he is learning to shoot guns with his sister, visiting muddy flea markets in Serbia, buying gummy worms to feed to ants, and telling his nonagenarian father wheelchair jokes. But then the pandemic hits, and like so many others, he’s stuck in lockdown, unable to tour and read for audiences, the part of his work he loves most.

First elected in 2011, Buttigieg left a successful business career to move back to his hometown, previously tagged by Newsweek as a "dying city", and transformed it into a shining model of urban reinvention.

For decades, Demi Moore has been synonymous with celebrity. From iconic film roles to high-profile relationships, Moore has never been far from the spotlight - or the headlines. Even as Demi was becoming the highest paid actress in Hollywood, however, she was always outrunning her past. Throughout her rise to fame and during some of the most pivotal moments of her life, Demi battled addiction, body image issues, and childhood trauma that would follow her for years - all while juggling a skyrocketing career and at times negative public perception.

Loved it. Lived it. Living it
My dad was bi-polar, it was hell, so much of her story is familiar. Her def of clinical depression hit home, it is spot on. Like she said there is still such a stigma today on mental illness, forty yrs ago it was brutal. I enjoyed her telling her own story in her own voice,who else can have the passion or feeling to tell it. It’s sad to see negative reviews condemning the way she spoke,how shallow. She got into some very dark parts of her life, it takes character and courage to say,”yes,I was taken to the hospital by the police and strapped to a gurney”. Nothing about her story portrays a selfish, indulgent person. I would not have the arrogance to criticize any part of her story, having NOT been the one that lived it.

Wah! Wah!
I got three quarters through this and couldn’t hear anymore. In honor of all my female friends that have suffered with mental disorders who bravely walked their oft times heart-wrenching paths, this woman made me shake my head. Spoiled, indulged, and thankless. Little do you hear of the heart ache she caused. It’s all about her and using her mental problems as an excuse for acts of immaturity and indulgence.

Very Interesting but poor execution
I found this interesting and an easy quick listen but I wish that it was someone else speaking.
Does it ever work well when the writer is the narrator?
Also found this interesting because she is the mother of a very powerful politician.

Inspiring!
I felt her heart shining through from beginning to end. She did not hold back. So real, so moving. I want to thank her for sharing her courage. I will share with others.

Decent talk...
While I like Trudeau's openness about life and mental illness, this all felt a bit thin. A decent yarn. I wish she had gone deeper.
Trudeau is a bit breathy with her talking.
