Zen Bender

A NY Times best selling celebrity ghostwriter of self-help books gets hooked on self-help and new age hocus-pocus herself when research-turns-obsession, and she scrambles to fix all that surely must be broken with her mind, body and soul. A collective of funny, heartfelt essays and lessons learned from her decade long bender, and an ironic epiphany that leads to the realisation that we are all good enough already.

When the recession turned her life upside down, Stephanie Krikorian had to reinvent her life...and fast. She started ghostwriting self-help books for women. Between writing and researching she realised that everywhere she looked there was AFOG. (Another fu*king opportunity for growth). Soon she wasn't just writing each book — she was living them! This was the start of a ten-year zen bender of dieting, dating, journaling, meditating, and Marie-Kondo-ing on a quest for that ultimate self-help high. 

 For anyone tired of promises to change everything in just thirty days, this book is a breath of fresh air.
