520    "In this hilarious collection of essays, comedian Faith 
       Salie reflects on the absurd hoops she's jumped through in
       order to win approval. From running in place in a darkened
       shower in Africa at 4 am to lose weight, to agreeing to an
       exorcism at the behest of her crazy ex-husband, to eating 
       pig organs with Harrison Ford's son after her producers 
       told her it would "make good TV", Salie has done it all in
       the hopes of achieving positive reinforcement from 
       colleagues, friends, and her aforementioned ex (or as she 
       calls him, "was-band"). With thoughtfulness and sarcasm, 
       Salie reflects on why it is she tries so hard to please 
       others, highlighting a phenomenon that many people--
       especially women-- experience at home and in the work 
       place. Equal parts laugh-out loud funny and poignant, 
       Approval Junkie is a humorous exploration into why it is 
       that we so desperately try to please others at the expense
       of our own happiness"--|cProvided by publisher.
