Mindy Kaling's "Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?" | The Yeasayers #02 Full Episode

Episode warning: Alex thinks he's figured out his life in this episode! Welcome to the Yeasayers book club and podcast! We read autobiographies from people who have "made it" and apply insights to our own lives. This time, we chat about Indian American comedian / writer / actress Mindy Kaling and her book, "Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns)". From failing upward to surrounding yourself with like-minded people to writing your own part, this episode inspires us to embrace ourselves, take tangible action, and get our shit out there! Thanks so much for watching/listening. We hope you enjoy! Make sure to Subscribe for more more biographical reviews. :) P.S. Mindy, if you read this, we humbly request a Part 2: "How to not be paralyzed when your friends don’t hang out with you". P.P.S. Watch Mothman Prophecies (totally unrelated to Mindy Kaling).
