I only cracked the cover of this book,
In Conclusion, Don't Worry About It, out of love for Lorelai Gilmore. Lauren Graham, the actress who plays Lorelai on the famous
Gilmore Girls series is the author of a novel (which I've not read), a memoir (which I listened to), and now a graduation speech stretched out into a small motivational book. As commencement speeches go, it was fair. Nothing as inspirational as Admiral William McRaven's
"Make Your Bed" speech, nor as entertaining as
Will Ferrell,
Jim Carey, or
Conan O'Brien (Graham even mentions her inability to match Will Ferrell's commencement speech). But, it's such a small investment, at 45 space-filled pages. Indeed, I nearly read the whole thing in one sitting while waiting for my crippled son to come out of school on his crutches a tad bit early to miss the post-school rush. So, if you love all things even peripherally related to
Gilmore Girls, as I do, you might just squeeze in a moment to receive Lauren Graham's wisdom on life and achieving your goals.
