Channeling the subversive and sharp-eyed voice showcased in her popular column for The Cut, this memoir stylishly interrogates the aspirations of young adulthood, early middle age, motherhood and life after ambition— for readers of Ada Calhoun, Jia Tolentino, Jessi Klein, and Maggie Smith.
Building off her wildly popular viral essays “Losing My Ambition” and “The Mindfuck of Mid-Life,” rising star Amil Niazi explores what life looks like “post-ambition.” With sly humor and a deep literary sensibility, she interrogates her own evolving ambitions, and how they intersect with adulthood, motherhood, age, identity, class, and race, and how it has shaped her and a generation of Millennials. And, most importantly, now that she is “done with ambition”—what happens next?
Life After Ambition is an achingly relatable, intensely funny punch to the gut which reveals that, though we hide them from one another, we all have the same painful bruises. Niazi has written a book that is, at its core, about optimism, about the joy of choosing something different, and about the thrill of finding ourselves when we thought all was lost. A whip-smart reimagination of how to live our lives, Life After Ambition will set the stage for rising star Amil Niazi for many years (and books) to come.
