From the author of the beloved New York Times bestselling book Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? and the creator and star of The Mindy Project comes a collection of essays that are as hilarious and insightful as they are deeply personal. In Why Not Me?, Kaling shares her ongoing journey to find contentment and excitement in her adult life, whether it’s falling in love at work, seeking new friendships in lonely places, attempting to be the first person in history to lose weight without any behavior modification whatsoever, or most important, believing that you have a place in Hollywood when you’re constantly reminded that no one looks like you. In “How to Look Spectacular: A Starlet’s Confessions,” Kaling gives her tongue-in-cheek secrets for surefire on-camera beauty, (“Your natural hair color may be appropriate for your skin tone, but this isn’t the land of appropriate–this is Hollywood, baby. Out here, a dark-skinned woman’s traditional hair color is honey blonde.”) “Player” tells the story of Kaling being seduced and dumped by a female friend in L.A. (“I had been replaced by a younger model. And now they had matching bangs.”) In “Unlikely Leading Lady,” she muses on America’s fixation with the weight of actresses, (“Most women we see onscreen are either so thin that they’re walking clavicles or so huge that their only scenes involve them breaking furniture.”) And in “Soup Snakes,” Kaling spills some secrets on her relationship with her ex-boyfriend and close friend, B.J. Novak (“I will freely admit: my relationship with B.J. Novak is weird as hell.”) Mindy turns the anxieties, the glamour, and the celebrations of her second coming-of-age into a laugh-out-loud funny collection of essays that anyone who’s ever been at a turning point in their life or career can relate to. And those who’ve never been at a turning point can skip to the parts where she talks about meeting Bradley Cooper.

Mindy Kaling is an exceptionally intelligent woman who has worked hard for her success in an industry that's been famously unfriendly to women. Her book is mostly not about that. Instead, it's a deceptively hilarious extended meditation on how she from bribing classmates to like her with Skittles at the age of 12 she became the force of nature that she is. In Hollywood, which believes its own fictions about what the world wants from female writers of comedy and even more about what it wants from female TV icons, she's done what every woman in the TV business must have thought was impossible: created her success by hard work and being herself. She was there before Lena Dunham and before Amy Schumer.This book is funny, so maybe a younger person might miss the recurring message: to achieve success, MK had to pick her priorities (make sacrifices) at every turn. Near the end of the book, there's an excellent account of how she learned the difference at a young age between earned success and unearned self-esteem, which is something many parents today don't understand.How did she learn to rise above her own insecurities? By refusing to concede that other people's ideas about what she was entitled to achieve were more valid than her own--and by hard work, sleepless nights, and knowing what she wanted. Most important, she emphasises the absolute and seldom acknowledged connection between self confidence and self acceptance and hard work plus tenacity. And yet on the surface, it's a funny book that's not about any of those things.I liked it. Any ambitious young woman would benefit from reading this.She's an excellent role model for any young woman who wants to learn how to get there (or anywhere) from here.
I went from moments of “This is so great’†to “That was 15 minutes of my life I will never get back.†There were parts of this book that fascinated me and cracked me up, and others where I was bored stiff. The book seemed to jump around at random, making it feel disjointed, with a number of sections that left me thinking, “WTF?? Why was that even in the book?†All the positive and negative moments average out to a 3.
Coming off having read Anna Kendrick’s and Tina Fey’s books, I figured this would be in a similar vein: witty, insightful, clever, and (ultimately) a view into where she came from, what her life was like up til now. Perhaps I should’ve read another of Kaling’s books, since this was more a mix of general stand up and personal stories, and I really just wanted the latter. For someone who claims to be endlessly giving off TMI, too much of this book hid her behind generic comedy. Oh well.
Mindy Kaling's second book (her first was "Is Everybody Hanging Out Without Me?") is another lighthearted, though superficial, collection of essays. For those not familiar with Kaling, she started off as a writer/actress on "The Office" on NBC, and went on to create and star in her own sitcom, "The Mindy Project", on Fox. Kaling's first book focused more around her childhood and early career after finishing college at Dartmouth and starting in screenwriting. Her latest book focuses more on how her life changed after her own television show blossomed (it later was cancelled by FOX but picked up by online streaming service Hulu). This book is a lot quicker and not as introspective as her first book (where she talked a lot about struggling to make it in NYC in a shared boxcar apartment, and how she struggled with body image growing up) , but has her undeniable wit and humor that fans of the Mindy Project would love. I would have liked, selfishly, more depth (she does talk about this a lot, but more in a jocular, brushing-it-off-sort of way) to her discussions about being a female in Hollywood, facing constant and the challenges she faced in starting her own television show and staying true to her artistic vision - which is my only critique - but I guess that's not really the point of this book; it's a lighthearted and humorous account of her experiences in Hollywood.The best essay comes at the end, and was a "do-over" response to a question she received during an appearance at a signing from a young girl asking her how she managed to maintain her confidence. The response was not unconventional or full of any unexpected wisdom, but the fact that she realized her brief response she gave to the fan was not sufficient and wrote a whole essay about it in her book was refreshing. This book is the literary equivalent of popcorn - it's not going to fill you up or surprise you, but it's airy, lighthearted reading.
I LOVE Mindy Kaling!!!! She's just so funny, irreverent and 100% her own person. Loved her first book and love 'The Mindy Project.' Not only did I literally laugh out loud throughout the book, I found myself forcing my friends to listen to passages out of the book so they could become as enthralled as I am with her humor (I swear I don't work in the marketing department for her publisher, this is just me pushing the book on my friends so we can laugh about it together).I love the way Mindy embraces her tendency toward the frivolous, not trying to convince people that she has it all together. Her diagram of the things which take up space in her brain was one of my favorite parts.I couldn't have been more amused hearing her unfiltered thoughts and opinions on topics ranging from Hollywood (loved the hair extensions rant and the part about actresses and tech millionaires) to White House visits, sororities and her lists of worries.My only (small) complaint was that there were a couple of sections in the book that seemed like 'filler' to meet a certain page # quota; particularly some of the Harvard speech and part of the chapter about her alternate persona as a Latin teacher. Overall, I loved it and highly recommend it.
