Yes Please

by Amy Poehler

The strange thing is that the moment people start looking at you less is when you start being able to see through people more.

The friends you meet over forty are really juicy. They are highly emulsified and full of flavor. Now that you’re starting to have a sense of who you are, you know better what kind of friend you want and need.

Watching great people do what you love is a good way to start learning how to do it yourself.

“Most men fear getting laughed at or humiliated by a romantic prospect while most women fear rape and death”?

Change is the only constant. Your ability to navigate and tolerate change and its painful uncomfortableness directly correlates to your happiness and general well-being.

Let me take a minute to say that I love bossy women. Some people hate the word, and I understand how “bossy” can seem like a shitty way to describe a woman with a determined point of view, but for me, a bossy woman is someone to search out and celebrate. A bossy woman is someone who cares and commits and is a natural leader.

MY FAV QUOTE IN THIS BOOK

The only way we will survive is by being kind. The only way we can get by in this world is through the help we receive from others. No one can do it alone, no matter how great the machines are.
