"In my work as an organizational psychologist, in almost 15 years, I noticed that to a person, people who I was coaching and working with were most successful, knew who they were, how they were seen and how they fit into the world around them. But over and over I saw a shortage of self-awareness, not just in the companies I worked in, but nearly everywhere I looked. And I think a lot of people would agree."

"I’ve been a magazine journalist for about 25 years and have spent a great deal of time in the Middle East during that time, writing about the upheavals in the region. And about 2 ½ years ago the editor-in-chief of the NYT Magazine came to me with a proposal of taking a really comprehensive look at the Arab’s spring revolts that began in 2011, that utterly transformed the Middle East. And he held out the idea that if what I found was compelling enough that they might give me the entire issue of the magazine, something that had never been done with the NYT Magazine before."

"My book You’re the Only One I Can Tell, Inside the Language of Women’s Friendships, is about women talking to friends. My last two books were about sisters and about mothers and daughters. Women’s friendships are the third, all-female relationships in women’s lives. I was inspired to write it, both because, friendships have been so important to my own life, but also because I’ve heard so much about friends from my friends."

"This is Lance Rubin, author of Denton Little’s Death Date and Denton Little’s Still Not Dead. The first book is about a 17-year-old named Denton Little who lives in a world that’s much like our own except for one key difference -- everybody knows their death date. And, Denton Little is a 17-year-old whose death date, when the first book starts, is tomorrow, the same day as his senior prom."

"My book is called There is No F*cking Secret, Lessons from a Badass Bitch, and what inspired me to write this book is that so many people have decided who they think I am, and tell me who they think I am, and come to me all the time and ask me what my secret is. And, I want the world to see who I really am, and the only way I could do that is by writing this book."

"We just got finished recording the audio version of my book “This is Really Happening.” My book is about my life. It’s an essay collection about growing up, being in love, it’s about being afraid, it’s about being sick and it’s about getting over it and moving on."
