Description
by Amy Wilson (Author)
A Brit&Co Most Anticipated Books of 2025
Amy Wilson, co-host of the award-winning podcast What Fresh Hell, takes a funny and insightful look at how women are conditioned to be "happy to help"--and what happens when things don't go that way.
Amy Wilson has always been an ultimate helper. As a big sister, Girl Scout, faithful reader of teen magazines, personal assistant, sitcom sidekick, and, finally, mother of three, Amy believed it was her destiny to be a people pleaser. She learned to put others first, to do what she was told, to finish what she started, and to look like she had everything under control, even when she very much did not.
Along the way, Amy started to wonder why doing it all had been her job. Still, when she tried to hand over some of her to-dos, no one was particularly interested in taking them. And when she asked for help, in return, she got advice: have a sense of humor, quit nagging, and stop trying to be perfect.
Amy dutifully took on these goals--with varying degrees of failure--until the day she started to question if something else needed to be fixed besides herself.
Hilariously relatable, Happy to Help is a collection of essays about how you can be the one everyone else depends on and still be struggling--how you can be "happy to help," even when, for your own sake, you shouldn't.
