Am I overthinking this? Probably.

This is a book of questions with answers, over-answers, and many charts: Did I screw up? How do I achieve work-life balance? Am I eating too much cheese? Do I have too many plants? Like a conversation with your non-judgmental best friend, 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.

• Building on her popular Instagram account @michellerial, Am I Overthinking This? brings whimsical charm to topics big and small
• Offers solidarity for the stressed, answers for the confused, and a good laugh for all
• Michelle Rial is an illustrator, writer and photographer who has been publishing charts online for almost a decade. Her work has been featured on USA Today, Fast Company, Vox, designboom, AV Club, and more.

Fans of Adulting: How to Become a Grownup in 535 Easy(ish) Steps, Thin Slices of Anxiety, and It's OK to Feel Things Deeply will relate to the humorous dilemmas in Am I Overthinking This?

This book 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.

• A perfect coffee table, bathroom or bar top conversation-starting book
• Makes a great gift for a friend who tends to think about the big and small questions a bit too much

Am I Overthinking This? Probably.


Where Are My Hair Ties?	Should I Have More Coffee?	What Would the Beatles Do?

realifecharts; humor; funny; millennial; gift; graduation; grad gift; advice;

This is a book of questions.

Questions the author will attempt to answer and over-answer with the help of charts, graphs, and physical objects. Questions like: Which wine should I bring? How should I start this email? Do I really need more plants?

It's also a book of charts.

This book has dreams of being on your coffee table, but hopefully never as a coaster. It hopes to be a reminder that there isn’t always one right answer—and that, sometimes, the only answer is to pick a path and keep moving.

A brilliant, hilarious book that captures life in 101 diagrams. Did I mention brilliant?

Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2019

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I have had this book in my hands exactly 29 hours. I've managed to show it to several people and each one says, "This is me!", and then after seeing a few more pages, "she is brilliant". I kid you not, this is verbatim what each person says over and over again. So it's fun to read, fun to show people, and I've already ordered a few as gifts. Just another bit of entertainment; right? Well, there might be more to it. I thought about it and realized this is a lot more than just a fun book. These 101 pages capture what life is like in 2019; at least in most western countries with people of a certain age range. Most of it is timeless, but when to look it in entirety, it will be looked at decades from now at a snapshot of our time and how we all view the world, and . . . well, maybe overthink things sometimes ;-)

Clever, faux-charts using common items to make humorous points

Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2019

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I pre-ordered this book as soon as it was announced. It promised to be funny and insightful. The book was delayed a few months, but ultimately it showed up.

I tore into the package as soon as it arrived.

The book is as colorful as it was advertised. The charts are a clever combination of household items and watercolors. They are quite creative.

(I will upload some pictures in the next couple of weeks.)

Funny and insightful, …, well, your mileage may vary.

Michelle Rial, the author, is a middle-aged, female, parent, from California (LA area), who is on the progressive side of the political spectrum, a smidgen OCD, and a mild germ-o-phobe. (She lets us know through her humor in the book.)

The more of those characteristics you share with her, the more likely the book is going to be funny to you.

The less you share …

There are 134 topics covered. Sixteen are middle-aged lady specific. At least twelve, are riffs on progressive values (not as in making fun of, but as in "do I need to worry about climate change?" showing a graph with a burnt out match implying that she must and "am I using too much plastic?")

About a third could be described as "first world problems," e.g., "still or sparkling?", "should we get ice cream?", and "how do I make small talk?"

The book is lovely, but I am going to be giving my copy to a colleague who has much more in common with the author.

She will likely appreciate the book and find it quite funny.

Brilliant, creative, and real

This book is brilliant! So many objects that perfectly portray the particular chart/Venn/subject. If only there was a chart for writing an Amazon review, because I'm pretty sure I'm over thinking this too. I hope Michelle Rial produces many more books in the future. Now, to go send copies to more friends.

What a Gem!

Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2019

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I follow Michelle Rial on Instagram and when she said she was putting out a book, I pre-ordered 2. One for me and one for a birthday present of a fellow researcher. What a gem. As others have reviewed, it’s very funny. My friend texted after receiving the book that she was just looking at the charts and giggling. And that’s just what you do - it is so easy to see yourself in this book and all the ways that you overthink things and, if you are at all self-reflective, well, you just have to laugh at yourself. Thanks for bringing this smart and funny book into the world. I am already ordering more for Christmas presents.

Delightful little visual book

If you love humor and graphics, this delightful book is for you. I read it (or view it) in a sitting and I know I'll return to it regularly, randomly browsing through its pages to smile and laugh. Well done.

Both funny and thought-provoking

Hilarious and thought-provoking. Like a great comedy set, it’s both creative and taps into depth that sometimes only humor can, and many of the graphs made me realize I’m not alone in thinking about these things :). Great coffee table and gift book that you won’t regret getting!

Bought as gifts for data minded people. Bought two and each loved the book. You like data? Know people who like data? Buy them the book. Clever, funny, and actually provides some nice visual array of nonsensical information.
