Note to Self

De: Connor Franta

Narrado por: Connor Franta

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.

Great in depth words and storyline

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!

love love love

I love Connor. this boom was so incredible to read. everything about this book was just so intimate and different. I felt like he was reading it directly to me. it was awesome. I highly recommend listening.

Amazing and Relatable experiences

I was happy to find out he started writing books. I fell in love with his first book and finally got around to reading his second. This book gave me so many emotions and I I don't know where to begin. by using his own personal experiences he engages the reader. Being the same age and in the gay community. I found so many similarities in how we grew up and developed in the early years. from being closeted in h.s, not having any gay experiences till after we graduated to having our first real heart break and how it affected us. I feel after reading this book I have gained some knowledge about myself. I was able to use his reflections on himself to reflect on my life.

Amazing book
