Dr. Dan interviews author Ann Leary about her new collection of essays I’ve Tried Being Nice.  

With wit and candor, Ann Leary casts a wry backward glance at a life spent trying—and often failing—to be nice. She reveals to Dr. Dan how reaching a certain age finally put an end to her lifetime of people-pleasing. Today’s interview is filled with equal parts humor and wisdom.

Ann Leary is a New York Times bestselling author. Her novel, The Good House was adapted as a motion picture starring Sigourney Weaver and Kevin Kline. Ann and her husband actor and comedian Denis Leary live in New York.
