david rakoff: my hero
You’re never going to believe this, but sometimes people tell me I’m “too negative”. Ha!
People don’t get it. But nevertheless.
Have you heard of David Rakoff? He’s a regular contributor to This American Life and he’s written a couple of books. I remember hearing him on TAL, but I hadn’t read any of his books until I heard him on Fresh Air and realized he’s my kind of person. [this is where someone might say 'we're kindred spirits' but I just couldn't bring myself to do it]
I have anxiety – despite feeling generally happy, I am worrier. When I lived on the west coast, I used to look at apartments and think of how any given apartment would hold up in an earthquake. It’s just part of who I am. Sue me.
It’s also part of who David Rakoff is and he’s convinced that there’s nothing wrong (really) with all that pessimism. Enjoy.
