Why read it?
1 author picked Brave Enough as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I’m recommending this book because I laughed a lot, cried some, underlined, stopped mid-page to think about what I was reading, and hated when it ended. There is one idea per page, easy to read, put down, and go on with your life and come back hours or days later.

From Jane's list on aging.
