Resumen del Editor
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • In this clarion call to pick up a pen and find yourself from “one of our most astute chroniclers of modern life” (The New York Times Book Review), #1 New York Times bestselling author Anna Quindlen shows us how anyone can write, and why everyone should.
What really matters in life? What truly lasts in our hearts and minds? Where can we find community, history, humanity? In this lyrical new book, the answer is clear: through writing. This is a book for what Quindlen calls “civilians,” those who want to use the written word to become more human, more themselves.
Write for Your Life argues that there has never been a more important time to stop and record what we are thinking and feeling. Using examples from past, present, and future—from Anne Frank to Toni Morrison, from love letters written after World War II to journal reflections from nurses and doctors today—Write for Your Life vividly illuminates the ways in which writing connects us to ourselves and to those we cherish. Drawing on her personal experiences not just as a writer but as a mother and daughter, Quindlen makes the case that recording our daily lives in writing is essential.
When we write we not only look, we see; we not only react but reflect. Writing gives you something to hold onto in a changing world. “To write the present,” Quindlen says, “is to believe in the future.”
Reseñas de la Crítica
"Bestselling author and journalist Anna Quindlen knows the importance of the written word, and the recording of experiences. Her casual yet persuasive performance is a call to action for anyone who thinks their life stories aren't worth sharing.... Quindlen's observations and encouraging tone may spark listeners to set memories to words." (AudioFile)

Historia
Pamela Paul has kept a single book by her side for 28 years - carried throughout high school and college, hauled from Paris to London to Thailand, from job to job, safely packed away and then carefully removed from apartment to house to its current perch on a shelf over her desk - reliable if frayed, anonymous-looking yet deeply personal. This book has a name: Bob. Bob is Paul's Book of Books, a journal that records every book she's ever read.

No writer is as emblematic of the American 20th century as Susan Sontag. Mythologized and misunderstood, lauded and loathed, a girl from the suburbs who became a proud symbol of cosmopolitanism, Sontag left a legacy of writing on art and politics, feminism and homosexuality, celebrity and style, medicine and drugs, radicalism and Fascism and Freudianism and Communism and Americanism, that forms an indispensable key to modern culture.

Alexandra Styron's parents—the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Sophie’s Choice and his political activist wife, Rose—were, for half a century, leading players on the world’s cultural stage. Alexandra was raised under both the halo of her father’s brilliance and the long shadow of his troubled mind. Reading My Father portrays the epic sweep of an American artist’s life. It is also a tale of filial love, beautifully written with humor, compassion, and grace.

"I don't want you to rehabilitate me," Philip Roth said to his only authorized biographer, Blake Bailey. "Just make me interesting." Granted complete independence and access, Bailey spent almost 10 years poring over Roth's personal archive, interviewing his friends, lovers, and colleagues, and listening to Roth's own breathtakingly candid confessions. Tracing Roth's path from realism to farce to metafiction to the tragic masterpieces of the American Trilogy, Bailey explores Roth's engagement with nearly every aspect of postwar American culture.

At once dazzling, hilarious, and moving, Manhood for Amateurs is destined to become a classic.

Daraya is a town outside Damascus, the very spot where the Syrian Civil War began. Long a site of peaceful resistance to the Assad regimes, Daraya fell under siege in 2012. For four years, no one entered or left, and aid was blocked. Every single day, bombs fell on this place - a place of homes and families. And then a group searching for survivors stumbled upon a cache of books in the rubble. In a week, they had 6,000 volumes; in a month, 15,000. A sanctuary was born: a library where people could escape the blockade, a paper fortress to protect their humanity.

Journalist and self-proclaimed “crappy gardener” Tamar Haspel is on a mission: to show us that raising or gathering our own food is not as hard as it’s often made out to be. When she and her husband move from Manhattan to two acres on Cape Cod, they decide to adopt a more active approach to their diet: raising chickens, growing tomatoes, even foraging for mushrooms and hunting their own meat. They have more ambition than practical know-how, but that’s not about to stop them from trying…even if sometimes their reach exceeds their (often muddy) grasp.

The Abraham Accords achieved what had seemed impossible for decades and set the Middle East on a trajectory toward a broad regional peace.

Newton draws on extensive research and experience coaching business leaders to show what underpins authentic gravitas and how anyone can develop it.

Anything but ordinary…
Anna’s passion for storytelling and her encouragement for others to share the ordinary, every day musings of a life in vivid creative ways, encourages me to continue to daydream, muse, and commit my thoughts and feelings to history be it paper or pixel. Her encouragement is infectious in her reading of her book. You will be gifted a master class with a creative writing teacher that we all needed, yet rarely encountered in school. I highly recommend this book for anyone who has a desire to be creative through the power of prose. I found this book inspiring. For those who may feel writing is too hard or seem to feel stuck, her encouragement to look past perfection, sharing her processes and others, while peering behind the publishable page, definitely opened my mind to begin again and focus on my own, unique, inner voice and see the value it can bring myself and others with the passage of time. Thank you. This book is a gift which I will continue to unwrap. This book would make a wonderful gift, paired with a blank journal, to anyone who has an interest in writing. 💕👊🏼

Yes, Ms. Quindlen. I write for the same reasons.
This was a great short read. And to be read to by the author! What a bonus. There is a lot to be said for writing your story in several essays. It serves so many purposes. Entering them in a computer is a very different experience from sitting with pen and notebook to write. And reading it back is yet another enjoyable experience. I recommend it wholeheartedly! It beats therapy.

Uplifting book about writing
I am a journaler. Almost every night before I go to sleep I prop up in bed and write. This book made the case both for writing and reading personal stories. After listening to it my journaling has taken on a new importance. She takes the listener on a journey from Anne Frank to classrooms to workplaces as she makes the case for personal writing that changes people’s lives, both the ones who write and the ones who read.

My admiration continues.
I am a writer. I started out as a journalist admiring AQ’s “Life in the 30s” columns in the NYT and later the “Out Loud” compilations. Her writing voice has always spoken to me. Now here her actual voice was speaking to me!
She mentions that she responds to reader letters with hand-written notes. I was the lucky recipient of one of those notes more than 20 years ago. I still have it, in a frame, safe and preserved perfectly.
I have listened to this book twice and will probably do so again soon. She’s done the whole bit as a writer - journalism, columns, news commentary, fiction and non-fiction books. She is still my touchstone professionally. I’ve finally been successful in moving away from management roles and toward full-time writing. Though I still do a lot of business writing, I’ve also had some essays published (more personal reflections) and am a fiction writer for a content service now. Flexing those muscles as she has.
This is a terrific and heartfelt appeal for us to share ourselves through writing and well worth a listen.

Fabulous speaker
I recently heard Anna Quindlen in speak at the Erma Bombeck Writers’ Workshop in Dayton, Ohio. She was one of my favorite speakers so I picked up this little gem that she narrates herself on Audible. Don’t miss it. Loved her stories and advice. Worth every penny.
