Megyn Kelly Is Seriously Out Here Defending Russell Brand

Stegolily was still thinking about Oliver Burkeman’s self-help book, Meditations for Mortals, a month after reading it. “Rather than offering a system guaranteed to optimize your life and change you into the ideal version of yourself, the book’s stated goal is to teach you how to live a meaningful life in the messy imperfection of reality.” What kind of self-help books, if any, do you appreciate?
