Taylor Tomlinson examines the art of changing your mind through a collection of funny and honest essays. The comedian traces her journey from rigid certainties rooted in strict religious upbringing and early loss to embracing complexity and nuance. Tomlinson uses self-deprecating humor and personal insight to explore her evolving beliefs about topics both serious and silly. She writes candidly about growing up, staying mentally flexible, and granting yourself freedom to reconsider everything you once held as truth. The book serves as a comforting and witty guide for readers navigating their own process of questioning assumptions and figuring things out all over again.
