Book 36 of my 2018 Reading Challenge

In Conclusion, Don't Worry About It by Lauren Graham

Summary (via Goodreads)
In this expansion of the 2017 commencement speech she gave at her hometown Langley High, Lauren Graham, the beloved star of Gilmore Girls and Parenthood, reflects on growing up, pursuing your dreams, and living in the here and now. “Whatever path you choose, whatever career you decide to go after, the important thing is that you keep finding joy in what you’re doing, especially when the joy isn’t finding you.” In her hilarious, relatable voice, Graham reminds us to be curious and compassionate, no matter where life takes us or what we’ve yet to achieve. Grounded and inspiring—and illustrated throughout with drawings by Graham herself—here is a comforting road map to a happy life.

My Opinion
This was about a 5-minute read.  I like her so I liked the book and enjoyed her message but only read it because it was available to check out from the library...these are the kinds of books that I pass right by in a bookstore as not worth the price.

Quote from the Book
"You've felt it too, haven't you? Even for a fleeting moment? When you're engrossed in a good book, or losing yourself in trying a new recipe, or tackling something at work, and then you look up at the clock, only to realize just how many hours have passed. Whatever you want to call it: flying, sailing, surfing. It's the way time moves differently when you're caught up in the simple joy of being yourself. It's what can happen when you make the decision to let go of criticism and worry and fear.
 And that's where The Best really lives."
