My Year of Rest and Relaxation by Ottessa Moshfegh

Recommended by Karen Fischer

in response to Olga K.

Feeling really lost. In my professional, personal, and life in general. Any tips/advice from folks who dealt with this type of disorienting experience? I will read, watch, do workbooks, seek out professional help.

I recommend reading this book for times like these. I feel like the main character is in the same shoes.

“I know this book gets mixed reviews but I personally LOVED it. Could not put it down. Prompted me to consider why I make the choices I make everyday, and how participating in daily life at a certain point becomes a choice.”

“The book is such a propelling read on its own, but Julia Whelan, GOAT of narrators, narrated the audiobook and adds even more to it somehow. This is a master class in bringing voice to the written word.”
