Book excerpt: From the star of Broadway's The Book of Mormon and HBO's Girls, the heartfelt and hilarious coming-of-age memoir of a Midwestern boy surviving bad auditions, bad relationships, and some really bad highlights as he chases his dreams in New York City With a new afterword • “Candid, funny, crisp . . . honest and tender about lessons of the heart.”—Vogue When Andrew Rannells left Nebraska for New York City in 1997, he, like many young hopefuls, saw the city as a chance to break free. To start over. To transform the fiercely ambitious but sexually confused teenager he saw in the mirror into the Broadway leading man of his dreams. In Too Much Is Not Enough, Rannells takes us on the journey of a twentysomething hungry to experience everything New York has to offer: new friends, wild nights, great art, standing ovations. At the heart of his hunger lies a powerful drive to reconcile the boy he was when he left Omaha with the man he desperately wants to be. As Rannells fumbles his way towards the Great White Way, he also shares the drama of failed auditions and behind-the-curtain romances, the heartbreak of losing his father at the height of his struggle, and the exhilaration of making his Broadway debut in Hairspray at the age of twenty-six. Along the way, he learns that you never really leave your past—or your family—behind; that the most painful, and perversely motivating, jobs are the ones you almost get; and that sometimes the most memorable nights with friends are marked not by the trendy club you danced at but by the recap over diner food afterward. Honest and hilarious, Too Much Is Not Enough is an unforgettable look at love, loss, and the powerful forces that determine who we become.

Download or read book Not Much Is As It Seems written by Navniit Gandhi and published by Prabhat Prakashan. This book was released on 2023-05-17 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has often happened with all of us. A friend turned out to be quite different from what he or she had seemed to be! Or, a relative from whom we never expected much, came before us in a different light altogether when the going was rough for us. Or, just when we thought that a much-coveted job would give us the ultimate joy, life took a different turn altogether... Haven’t we often been caught off-guard thus? Even situations, which we had firmly labelled as unfortunate or wonderful, ultimately belied all our emphatic declarations. Yes, all of us have a limited sense of comprehension. And we are very complex beings. The situations that life presents us with, are quite perplex too. We just cannot fathom a person or a situation in its truest form and in its entirety. Most of the time, we err gravely, in concluding about people and circumstances. It is important to take a pause, and look beyond what is obvious...In doing so, it may dawn on us that not much is as it seems to be!!!

Download or read book Bipolar Not So Much Understanding Your Mood Swings and Depression written by Chris Aiken and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2017-01-17 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Approaching depression as a complex disorder with many different facets rather than all-or-nothing. Now available in paperback with an updated preface. Depression confuses the mind, strips away hope, and causes people to blame themselves for an illness they never asked for. This book presents a revolutionary new understanding of the concept of depression and offers readers skills and strategies to manage it. No longer is this a one-size-fits-all diagnosis, and antidepressants are no longer the one-size-fits-all treatment. Mood disorders are now seen to form a spectrum of problems, from common depression on one end to full bipolar disorder on the other. In between these extremes are multitudes of people who are on the middle of the mood spectrum, and this book is for them. The first part of the book helps readers answer the question, “Where am I on the mood spectrum?” By laying the foundation for understanding this spectrum, Aiken and Phelps highlight the key distinctions that define unipolarity, bipolarity, hypomania, mania, and depression. Readers will be able to discern which definition best fits their experience, and use this understanding to learn which treatment methods will work best. The authors also empower readers to look beyond antidepressants. They walk readers through new medications for the mood spectrum, and offer a guide to non-medication treatments that anyone can use on their own, from diet and lifestyle changes to natural supplements. The book also discusses other innovative technologies that can aid in recovery, including dawn simulators, mood apps, and blue-light filters. This thoughtful and beneficial book will offer readers skills and strategies, as well as hope, in the face of debilitating mental challenges.

Book excerpt: "Dorothy Parker collected most of her verse in three compilations from 1926-31, but some of her most entertaining and heartbreaking work was unknown to the general public until 1996, when Stuart Y. Silverstein collected 121 of Mrs. Parker's "lost" poems and free verses in Not Much Fun. Now Mr. Silverstein has added several previously un-collected items, and has expanded his critically acclaimed introduction, in this revised and updated edition ofNot Much Fun."

The original typescript is preserved in the archives of the Special Collections of the Fales Library of New York University." --Book Jacket.

Download or read book Too Much and Not the Mood written by Durga Chew-Bose and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2017-04-11 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of Vulture's "25 of the Most Exciting Book Releases for 2017" One of Nylon's "50 Books We Can't Wait To Read In 2017" An entirely original portrait of a young writer shutting out the din in order to find her own voice On April 11, 1931, Virginia Woolf ended her entry in A Writer’s Diary with the words “too much and not the mood.” She was describing how tired she was of correcting her own writing, of the “cramming in and the cutting out” to please other readers, wondering if she had anything at all that was truly worth saying. The character of that sentiment, the attitude of it, inspired Durga Chew-Bose to write and collect her own work. The result is a lyrical and piercingly insightful collection of essays and her own brand of essay-meets-prose poetry about identity and culture. Inspired by Maggie Nelson’s Bluets, Lydia Davis’s short prose, and Vivian Gornick’s exploration of interior life, Chew-Bose captures the inner restlessness that keeps her always on the brink of creative expression. Too Much and Not the Mood is a beautiful and surprising exploration of what it means to be a first-generation, creative young woman working today.
