This book is the third collection of essays by award-winning American female writer Jenny Rosen. It contains a total of 35 essays - 13 records about psychotherapy, 6 about trivial matters in family life, and 16 embarrassing stories about social death.
Jenny wants to simplify life in a very literal way, to face the dilemmas that everyone can go through, and then make sure that you are not alone and laugh the next time you are stupid. Her articles are light-hearted and humorous, with jumping thoughts and wide-ranging ideas. The preface and follow-up are often inconsistent, but readers will always discover the truth behind each story at the end.
In this book, there is no flattery to win social recognition, and I don't care about any comments on myself. I just want to express and record my life candidly and purely.
