Summary

A book of questions with answers and over-answers: Did I screw up? How do I achieve work-life balance? Do I have too many plants? Michelle Rial delivers a playful take on the little dilemmas that loom large in the mind of every adult through artful charts and funny, insightful questions.

Recommended in Refinery29's The Perfect Book for Every Person in Your Life This Holiday Season and Real Simple editors' What We Love lists!

In this book of questions—Which wine should I bring? How should I start this email? How much do I tip for this?—author and designer Michelle Rial attempts to answer (and over-answer) countless inquries with the help of amusing and artful visual aids. Like a conversation with your non-judgmental best friend, Am I Overthinking This? serves as a reminder that there isn't always one right answer—and that, sometimes, the only answer is to pick a path and keep moving.

FUN INFOGRAPHICS: There's something for everyone in this captivating book packed with clever charts and graphs that address a wide range of questions, from "Will I ever use the math I learned in school?" to "Does this need butter?" to "Am I good at my job?"

Named by Vulture as one of "9 of the Funniest Cartoonists and Illustrators on Instagram," her work has been featured by The New Yorker, Fast Company, USA Today, WIRED, and more.
