Produktbeschreibung

Being smart and rich are lucky, but being curious and compassionate will save your ass.from Now Go Out There

Every year there are one or two commencement speeches that strike a chord with audiences far greater than the student bodies for which they are intended. In 2015 Mary Karr's speech to the graduating class of Syracuse University caught fire, hailed across the Internet as one of the most memorable in recent years, and lighting up the Twittersphere.

The courageous intimacy and wry tone that have made Karr's books accessible to hundreds of thousands of readers across the world lend her speech the same power of authenticity and relatability. An ideal gift for a graduate or for anyone looking for some down-to-earth life advice, Now Go Out There is destined to become a classic.

Don't make the mistake of comparing your twisted-up insides to people's blow-dried outsides.

Even the most privileged person suffers the torments of the damned just going about the business of being human.
