Think of Yes Please
($17.95) as the creative, unconventional woman’s Lean In. A life story with lessons, Poehler’s “missive from the middle” is hilarious, naturally, but also bracingly honest, generously instructive and at times deeply emotional. It urges us to say yes to what life offers even when we feel scared, overwhelmed, plain, poor and vulnerable. “Because what else are we going to do?” Poehler asks. “Say no to an opportunity that is slightly our of our comfort zone?” Dishing on such juicy topics as friends, fame, aging and divorce, she celebrates “the open-faced sandwiches who take risks and live big and smile with all of their teeth.”
