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.

Made me laugh, but also had me bawling, fuming, and importantly thinking. Recommend to everyone.

Loved it

There are a few chapters that feel like filler but some are vital and important. All of them are delivered with conviction and good humour. There's a free song, too.

Patchy, but when it hits, excellent.

One of the best books I’ve listened to. Funny, touching, intelligent, surprising, beautifully written and read. I couldn’t stop listening.

Witty, insightful, brilliantly read.

Advice from strangers. Literally anything you imagine from nap when you can to don’t sleep with either of them all described with a personal twist or a point of view. Oh and a little bonus at the end to boot. Which I won’t spoil.

Comedic, heartfelt but overall engaging

picked this after hearing Rachel being interviewed about writing it and wasn't disappointed, a great way to discuss some difficult and fun subjects, hopefully she will write more

a rollercoaster of a book
