A GIRAFFE NAMED FEELINGS: A memoir of avoiding, performing, and finally coming up for air.
For most of my life, I was very good at two things: avoiding my feelings and pretending I was fine. This book is the story of what happened, why, and how I finally stopped. It's vulnerable, it's funny, and it's the most honest thing I've ever made.
”When Jeremy Goldberg was six, his father knelt in the driveway and told him he needed to be the man of the house. It would take thirty years and a stranger's question at his childhood home before he understood what that one sentence had cost him. A Giraffe Named Feelings is a memoir about shame, pretending, running away, and the slow walk home — to yourself, to the people you love, to the little kid you abandoned somewhere along the way. It moves from a Swamp Monster of his own making, to a tsunami draining an entire bay, to a first kiss timed to a song's crescendo. Equal parts confession, comedy, and quiet revolution, this is what happens when a behavioral scientist stops studying other people and starts excavating himself. For readers of Glennon Doyle, Cheryl Strayed, and Mary Karr.”
