A Weekly Dispatch from the Beautiful Mess of Life, Filed from Right in the Middle of It

Every week, Suzy Welch takes stock of the days behind her and sorts them into three piles: what she loves, what she hates, and what leaves her going "hmm." The result is part personal journal, part cultural commentary, and part wrestling match with questions that don't have easy answers. One issue might take apart Madonna's remarkable staying power, and the next might follow a dachshund who went missing for three years and was finally caught, noticeably plumper for the adventure. In between is the harder stuff, like setbacks at work and the tough seasons of marriage, told with the same unflinching candor. It's writing that can make you laugh out loud in one paragraph and reach for a tissue in the next. Above all, it's a celebration of life in all its glory and absurdity. In a world of overflowing, ignored inboxes, it has built a large and fiercely loyal community of readers who actually open it, week after week. Pull up a chair and join them.
