About this listen

Comedian Rachel Parris was asked to give an inspiring graduation speech. Who did she ask for advice? Total strangers....

Over the course of a year, award-winning comedian Rachel Parris asked members of her live audience for advice. Here she takes those random bits of wisdom - such as 'Be Kind' or 'Never Pass Up the Opportunity for a Wee' - and explores them in ways that are funny and serious, hilarious and heartbreaking. This uplifting feminist manifesto of a book outlines the essentials of living in the modern world; dealing with everything from tampons to Tories and from #hashtags to staying hydrated.

I enjoy Rachel’s comedy in the Mash Report and so while I laughed a lot at this book, I was also incredibly moved by some of the stories, which I didn’t expect. I’m quite new to audiobooks and the fact that this is read by Rachel makes it all the better! Well worth a listen, and don’t worry, whatever happens, you’ll be fine.

Enjoyable yet poignant

This book is brilliant. It is intelligent yet accessible and captures so much of the experience of a modern woman (although I say this as a cis white woman and acknowledge that others may not feel the same). I hope a lot of men read/listen so they learn more about the experience of women in the modern world
