Guest host Allison Pataki interviews actress, former MTV personality, and New York Times bestselling author Karen Duffy about Wise Up: Irreverent Enlightenment from a Mother Who’s Been Through It, a book of letters about living a beautiful life, inspired by the teachings of Stoic philosophers. Karen talks about how studying philosophy has helped her cope with her chronic illness and describes how she spends each day–reading voraciously, writing handwritten thank-you notes, and peacefully cohabitating with her pain. Finally, she shares her best advice for aspiring authors and reveals everything she is currently working on, from a star-studded film to a new book.
