Biography & Autobiography. Family & Relationships. Self-Improvement. Nonfiction. HTML:NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ? A story-driven collection of essays on the twelve powerful phrases we use to sustain our relationships, from the bestselling author of Glitter and Glue and The Middle Place
??Kelly Corrigan takes on all the big, difficult questions here, with great warmth and courage.???Glennon Doyle
NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY REAL SIMPLE AND BUSTLE
It??s a crazy idea: trying to name the phrases that make love and connection possible. But that??s just what Kelly Corrigan has set out to do here. In her New York Times bestselling memoirs, Corrigan distilled our core relationships to their essences, showcasing a warm, easy storytelling style. Now, in Tell Me More, she??s back with a deeply personal, unfailingly honest, and often hilarious examination of the essential phrases that turn the wheel of life.
In ??I Don??t Know,? Corrigan wrestles to make peace with uncertainty, whether it??s over invitations that never came or a friend??s agonizing infertility. In ??No,? she admires her mother??s ability to set boundaries and her liberating willingness to be unpopular. In ??Tell Me More,? a facialist named Tish teaches her something important about listening. And in ??I Was Wrong,? she comes clean about her disastrous role in a family fight??and explains why saying sorry may not be enough. With refreshing candor, a deep well of empathy, and her signature desire to understand ??the thing behind the thing,? Corrigan swings between meditations on life with a preoccupied husband and two mercurial teenage daughters to profound observations on love and loss.
With the streetwise, ever-relatable voice that defines Corrigan??s work, Tell Me More is a moving and meaningful take on the power of the right words at the right moment to change everything.
Praise for Tell Me More
??It is such a comfort just knowing that Kelly Corrigan exists: she is somehow both wise and self-deprecating; funny but unafraid of pain; frank but gentle. She is the sister/mother/best friend we all wish we could have??and because of this big-hearted book, we all get to.???Ariel Levy, author of The Rules Do Not Apply
??With full-bodied humor and radical sensitivity, Kelly Corrigan transforms the mundane pain of life into a necessary spiritual text of sorts, one that reminds us that we have the right to grieve but the obligation to be grateful. This book will remind you that you a

This was another one of those titles that caught my eye, and I placed a hold on it based on what I assumed it was about rather than actual knowledge of what it was about.
It turned out to be an intensely personal, honest—at times, uncomfortably so—collection of stories from her life, many of them addressing grief. She’s a good writer, and she’s my age, so even though I don’t share many of her experiences, I found myself relating to her. I really liked the Tell Me More chapter. Being a good listener rather than a troubleshooter is a constant challenge for me, and that chapter had a really good example of a conversation that modeled this. That she was being coached by a good friend throughout—it was a phone conversation—made it more like sharing with her readers than lecturing them.
I read everything, including the interview with Jen Hatmaker at the end, and it was worth it to get even more insights into the author’s process and values.
This was an easy one to do in my chapter-a-day approach to reading nonfiction, and I’m glad I read it. People whose lives have been affected (altered? wrecked? I’m having a hard time finding the right verb) by cancer may find it especially moving. ( )

I vow to listen to every Kelly Corrigan book there is. I can listen to her all day. ( )

Loved this book for its honesty about the grit of life and the ways we can do better in tiny increments. No New Year's overhaul necessary. Written in the aftermath of grief of losing her beloved father and her dear friend within 6 mos., the 12 readable chapters focus on one word or phrase with a lot of life experience to back it up. Corrigan is so honest in her shortcomings - it's like a reassuring look in the mirror. There is humor too and an impressive poetry of swear words. The "12 hardest things" are: "It's Like This," "Tell Me More," "I Don't Know," "I Know," "No," "Yes," "I Was Wrong," "Good Enough," "I Love You," "No Words at All," "Onward," and "This is It" All require a degree of vulnerability and a willingness to put others first, if only long enough to spit out the selected phrase. But in so doing, a world of self-knowledge and reflection opens up. This book goes as deep as you will let it - the reader has to be vulnerable too. ( )

Finished this in one go and I’m already planning to read it again and highlight all the words. And then probably force it on all of you. ( )
