"All of us have some prevalent personality traits, no matter what other qualities we possess. There's always one ingredient that flavors everything else about us. The cilantro, if you will."

Just down the street from my office in NYC, there's a community shelf that has everything from books to housewares. I always scan the bookshelves because you never know what you'll see, and look what I found! A book that everyone has told me to read, and I just ... didn't? Well, the joke is on me because I loved it. The author's Type A personality and introspection resonated strongly with me, and I kept chuckling and reading lines aloud to my husband. It was as if Leslie Knope and Liz Lemon wrote a book and then placed it in my hands at the exact moment that I needed it. I had that buzzing feeling like, "Yes, someone else is also fixating on details while having existential crises and reconfiguring the dishwasher, it's not just me!"
