The 'hilarious and poignant' story of one chronically anxious woman's quest to become braver by seeking out the kinds of experiences she's spent her life avoiding (Cheryl Strayed).For most of her life (and even during her years as the host of a popular radio show), Courtenay Hameister lived in a state of nearconstant dread and anxiety. She fretted about everything. Her age. Her size. Her romantic prospects. How likely it was that she would get hit by a bus on the way home.Until a couple years ago, when, in her midforties, she decided to fight back against her debilitating anxieties by spending a year doing little things that scared her things that the average person might consider doing for a half second before deciding: 'nope.'Things like: attending a fellatio class. She did that. She also spent an afternoon in a sensory deprivation tank, got (legally) high in the middle of a workday, had a session with a professional cuddler, braved twentyeight first dates, and (perhaps scariest of all) actually met someone who might possibly appreciate her for who she is.Refreshing, relatable, and peeyourpants funny, Okay Fine Whatever is Courtenay's holdnothingback account of her adventures on the front lines of Mere Human Woman vs. Fear, reminding us that even the tiniest amount of bravery is still bravery, and that no matter who you are, it's possible to fight complacency and become bold, or at least boldish, a little at a time.
