Ann Leary - I'VE TRIED BEING NICE

In this interview, I chat with Ann Leary about I've Tried Being Nice, why she decided to write this essay collection, how she is trying to no longer be a people pleaser, how hard it can be to get along with people as an introvert, why your priorities change as you get older, and much more.

Ann's recommended reads are:

1. In Cold Blood by Truman Capote
2. The Collector by John Fowles
