gallimind 's review for:
How to Be Everything came along at a fitting time for me. Like some of the other books I’ve read recently, it resonated with where I’m at in life. As a self-described aspiring polymath, I found myself nodding along to Emilie Wapnick’s insights about “multipotentialites.” Learning there’s a term for people like me, who thrive on shifting interests, was refreshing. Wapnick’s encouragement to “feature your weird” hit close to home. It was reassuring to see my wide-ranging interests framed as something positive rather than something to downplay.
Beyond that, Wapnick’s practical advice felt particularly useful. Her “litmus test” approach, where you share your interests freely to gauge authentic connections, gave me a fresh way to think about relationships. I’ve often held back from sharing my broader interests out of worry they’d seem “odd.” This book didn’t radically change my outlook, but it added a layer of validation and encouragement that felt timely and relevant to my own self-exploration. For anyone balancing multiple passions, How to Be Everything offers thoughtful insights and perspectives along with some helpful tools and strategies for navigating life as a multipotentialite.
