In Conclusion, Don't Worry About It

Powerful and hopeful this speech gives hope to all striving for something more on their future. Yes, it's geared toward graduates. But honestly it's for anyone looking to be more and do more.

Delightful reading! Not only for graduates but for everyone who needs a little bit of hope.As my 9 year old nephew started chemo and became rapidly distressed and overwhelmed this book was the only thing that could make him smile, even though he’s young and not graduating at the moment we had a delightful experience with it!This is Vin’s favorite part“ Sometimes we have to face the fact that what happens to us in life isn’t controllable, and if we wait a while, don’t take it personally, and decide to enjoy ourselves anyway, the sky will eventually clear up.”Forever grateful for this book that brought my baby’s smile back, we read it together at every chemo and the other kids love it too!

I know naysayers in the 1-star reviews talked of it being too positive and too short. I see what they're saying. However, because it's such a short book (not even 50 pages), I found it satisfying, especially as someone who worries often and can be pessimistic about life. This book was essentially an adaptation of a graduation speech she gave in 2017, and it has a handful of anecdotes, quite a bit of encouragement, and even good advice here and there. I say it's worth 30 minutes of your time.

I got this book for my daughter for Christmas. She loved it. She is a big Lauren Graham fan

The media could not be loaded.  La portada un poca sucia, mala manipulación.

Even though this is a small short book it is full of wise words. Stop taking everything so seriously life is too short.

SHORT & SWEET, Lauren Graham's In Conclusion, Don't Worry About It is an expansion of a graduation speech she gives to her alma mater, Langley High School.I saved this book to read on a plane ride...however, I almost finished it before even boarding my flight!Graham's combination of wit and wisdom in this book make it easy to relate to. It reiterates everyday insights and reassurances we may already know, but she refreshes her audience with them and they are none the less meaningful. Her doodling skills are also whimsical.Some of my favorite messages that resonated with me were:-Be appreciative of the moments when you are praised for your efforts, but know that true joy comes during the everyday grind.-Joy is something to find and not to wait for.-Act and work as though you are being paid extremely well.-Don't wait to work hard until you have "made it" or accomplish a specific goal. Work hard NOW.I highly recommend this to graduates (as this is her intended predominate audience), anyone going through a transitional time in life, or anyone who simply wants a little nudge to keep going!I do hope Graham does put more books out in the future...perhaps a longer one next time.

A definitive from the soul writing. Very insightful as well as heart felt commencement speech sprinkled with more of her wonderful humor and personal antidotes.

This is a short and sweet book about the commencement speech that Ms Graham made at her old high school in 2017 that her dad signed her up for with some awesome advice. The things that she talks about are relatable and motivational.She talks about life and how no matter what you go on to do after high school don't stress about what comes next as you never know where life will take you even if you think that you have it all figured out.The message of the story is that if you don't know what you want to do with life after high school then that's fine you have time to decide later in life and it will all be okay, as long as you embrace the present and do not worry about the future.I really loved the little doodles that she included in with the book.

I ordered this book without reading the synopsis just because of who the author was, so at first was a little surprised when I found it to be only around 50 or so pages long.The book itself is Lauren Graham’s commencement speech she gave at a high school and was consequently asked to publish. On reading the book/speech I can imagine her saying these words and imagine being one of those students in the audience at the time. I felt it was very motivational and appropriate for anyone of any age regardless of the ambitions and dreams of each person (you do not have to be dreaming to become an actress to read this).So why 4 stars and not 5?I kind of wanted just a bit more, perhaps a little more length (but it was a speech after all, not a novel), it would be interesting to hear how it was received at that time, but as much as I love Lauren as an author, I just wished for that little bit of something... Cant quite put my finger on it...Overall though, I do recommend this book (I read it in about 20 minutes) as a confidence boost, a motivator or inspirational message to get you thinking about what really matters in your life. Enjoy!

I love Lauren Graham and I knew this was an expansion on her speech but it barely is. The price does not reflect that this is little more than a leaflet. It isn’t a bad read but it absolutely isn’t worth the money.

I had pre-ordered this book when there was little description, even then, I was disappointed to discover upon delivery a book that was only 40 pages long and took 15 minutes to read (for £9.99!)I enjoyed Lauren Graham’s other books but this would have been better served as a long article in an online newspaper than a book. Besides the length, it doesn’t really tell you anything apart from literally “don’t worry about it” which you can get from the title.Disappointed.

Wise, witty & helpful.
