Story4.5 out of 5 stars 1,860
Call Me by Your Name first swept across the world in 2007. It is the story of a sudden and powerful romance that blossoms between an adolescent boy and a summer guest at his parents' cliffside mansion on the Italian Riviera. During the restless summer weeks, unrelenting but buried currents of obsession, fascination, and desire intensify their passion as they test the charged ground between them and verge toward the one thing both already fear they may never truly find again: total intimacy.

If you found The Amazing Book is Not on Fire at least mildly interesting, or even if you didn't read it at all, then you will love our audiobook! Not only do you get us sensually narrating the whole thing in your ears, but there are over three hours of exclusive behind-the-scenes commentary on the book, and irrelevant Dan and Phil banter straight from our mouths to your ears! Who doesn't want that? Okay, that came out kind of weird, but trust us you'll like it. I guess we have to rephrase the blurb..?

For decades we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F*ck positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f*cked, and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is - a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.

Summary
In his New York Times best-selling memoir, A Work in Progress, Connor Franta shared his journey from small-town Midwestern boy to full-fledged Internet sensation. Exploring his past with humor and astounding insight, Connor reminded his fans of why they first fell in love with him on YouTube - and revealed to newcomers how he relates to his millions of dedicated followers.
Now, two years later, Connor is ready to bring to light a side of himself he's rarely shown on or off camera. In this diary-like look at his life since A Work In Progress, Connor talks about his battles with clinical depression, social anxiety, self-love, and acceptance; his desire to maintain an authentic self in a world that values shares and likes over true connections; his struggles with love and loss; and his renewed efforts to be in the moment - with others and himself.
Told through short essays, letters to his past and future selves, and poetry, Note to Self is a raw, in-the-moment look at the fascinating interior life of a young creator turning inward in order to move forward.

This was about the most real, relatable 3 and a half or so hours I’ve heard / experienced in a long while. Terrifically written, whimsically read and a beautifully honest insight into life as a young LGBTQ+ person - to add a cliché, I’m a better person for having listened. Thank you 👌☝️

Like a peak in his mind
I really loved listening to this book, so much so, that I finished it in one evening. Intrigued by it's story and the great way that Connor tells you his feelings, his thoughts, his fears. The way he gives you a small but significant peak into his everyday life and all his struggles. And the way he tries to help you on your path of life by telling you the things he has learned from his own experiences. Reflecting on his past and looking forward into the future, whilst living in the present. This book leaves you with a lot to think about, to reflect upon and to use in your own everyday life. I highly recommend this book for people of all ages, as I think everyone can benefit from listening to this book

A piece of literature that makes one reflect on one self. Brilliantly written and reminds us to be who we are no matter what. I'm definitely gonna be reading this book again as Connor's life experiences teaches us about how no one is alone with a single problem in the world and how each of us are a beautiful mess. The use of poems in between creates a unique insight into the state of mind of the writer, enabling us to tune into the same emotions he feels and helps us reflect on such emotions we experience ourselves. Connor's positive outlook towards who we are and who we are reminds us we can be whoever we want to be if we put our mind to it. Such a young successful man definitely one of my new icons I'll be following for the rest of my life. Thanks Connor!

Blown
This book is for every teenager. Even if you think that teenagers do not have important problems, you are naive. Humans develop their first real problems around that age. Ignoring them will affect you later in life. Sexuality is an essential topic you should figure out yourself, because if you dont you will be confused forever. Depression is a very very serious topic and is actually common (even if you don't believe so). Connor talks about all that, through experience and theory he developed. And let me tell you that he is one of the most down to earth people you will ever hear. He is very very bright and you will actually be surprised by the way he talks about these topics.
You need to here this right now. I loved every second of it and I was very very sad when it ended. I want to hear more of this dude's philosophy. I want to be his apprentice. I want him to just talk and talk and talk to me. About anything. He makes everything so interesting, but gives seriousness when its due. He doesn't take lightly subjects that are actually serious.
You won't regret this.
PS: His voice is very very cute, so you will enjoy a "date" for 2 hours with this hottie.

An excellent depiction of life's raw emotion
What made the experience of listening to Note to Self the most enjoyable?
Let's be honest, I'm not Connor's core audience. I'm an older, generation X gay male who has gone through personal struggles young on in my life. My journey included losing my mother to early onset Alzheimer's and the battle of that started when she was only 47. As she fought the disease, I stood by her side during my 20's, missing out on the common growth of a 20 year old. So, while I cannot relate to the pain of a broken heart of a romantic relationship at this age, I have enough to appreciate how difficult it is to share pain with others. Connor has this incredible gift with words that allows you to feel what it was like in the heart wrenching time and allows you to connect with him.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
As Connor described his relationship ending, you could tell it was genuine. You could still hear the rawness of pain in his voice that no one other than the person who experienced it could do justice. I believe one of Connor's greatest gifts is that he can take his experience and make them feel it too.
Any additional comments?
Great job on this just second book. You sound like a seasoned author already. I look forward to the next one and hope some time you take a stab at fiction. I would love to see what stories you could come up with!

Reading or in this case listening to a book and knowing the words are important and real and the images blossoming in my imagination are even more important cause it's my mind that allows the words to come to life. I'm beyond amazing at how phenomenal of an author Connor is. From A Work in Progress to Note to Self I can't help but be amazed at how much he has grown. I highly recommend this book to everyone. I absolutely loved it!
