Here we go again. New book!
I’m featured in the next volume of the bestselling Six-Word Memoirs series, due out November 3, 2015. This one’s entitled The Best Advice in Six Words: Writers Famous and Obscure on Love, Sex, Money, Friendship, Family, Work, and Much More. I’m especially proud to finally be in a book with an Oxford comma in the title. Hardcover, no less.
Some of the as-promised famous writers in this installment include Madeleine Albright, Julianne Moore, Whoopi Goldberg, Dave Eggers, Elizabeth Gilbert, Maria Shriver, Mario Batali, Michael Ian Black, George Takei, Goldie Hawn, and Molly Ringwald.

I made a bunch of friends that I’ll have forever, and this 2015 installment puts another branch on the Six-Word family tree. (It could also be argued that I never would’ve met M if this hadn’t all happened, but that’s another story that exceeds six words.)
Here’s where you can find the new book on November 3:

In the spirit of Throwback Thursday, here are a couple videos that date back to 2008. The first has editors Larry and Rachel talking about the book in the halls of Google. If you sit through it, you’ll literally hear my name uttered. UTTERED IN THE HALLS OF GOOGLE.
And then there’s the 2008 book launch in New York:
My six words on advice? Guess.
