What I Learned While Editing My Life

Average rating3.9
It's so interesting to reread certain books at different parts in your life. I remember being so impacted by this book the first time I read it, close to when it first came out (which is more than 10 years ago now!). I still appreciate the concept of living your life as a better story, and I've even adapted that into my own life motto. But I'm not as charmed by Miller's writing as I once was. I noticed a lot more misogyny in his writing; or perhaps that's too strong of a word, but women and girls were often tools in the storytelling rather than fully realized characters themselves. I think I can appreciate this book as a good resource to help remind me of using my life to tell a better story, but I can also leave it at that.
