But it’s the long slow burn of gazing and grazing, the stare, that makes these sparkly instantaneous decisions possible. If this were a more self-helpy book, I’d have a cute pull-out exercise called \u003ci\u003ethink about your blinks\u003c\/i\u003e. I’ll go first.”\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow many decisions do you make each day? Ten? Twenty? Fifty? How often do you think about the way each of those little and not-so-little decisions reverberate through your life? And how often do you regret a choice you made and wish you could simply choose again?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHailed by the \u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/i\u003e as the “godmother of alternative comedy,” Beth Lapides, creator of LA’s long-running UnCabaret, delivers a funny and heartfelt meditation on the power of decisions, the place for regret, and the space for grace in the Recorded Books Original \u003ci\u003eSo You Need to Decide\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis series of intimate conversations with a diverse group of comedians, writers, and cultural icons revolves around five universal experiences: family, work, love, moving, and spirituality. The decisions that come through in each of these moments are not about the rigidity of control, it’s about the fluidity of dancing with the chaos. Lapides invites us to join her and her friends in reflecting on how each decision changes us, altering our path and creating a wholly new journey.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeaturing original interviews with Margaret Cho, Isaac Mizrahi, Bob Odenkirk, Phoebe Bridgers, Baron Vaughn, Aparna Nancherla, Merrill Markoe, and Josh Gondelman, and with research assistance by Mathew Klickstein, \u003ci\u003eSo You Need to Decide\u003c\/i\u003e ultimately challenges the listener to choose how they want to live—bigger or smaller, with artifice or authenticity. Would you rather plumb the depths or float near the surface?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat’s a decision only you can make. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Recorded Books, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49358613905712,"sku":"BDe5nn","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49503461802288,"sku":"ZEe5nn","price":42.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49503461835056,"sku":"ZMe5nn","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/436785-e5nn-Square.jpg?v=1734450851","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-e5nn","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
