Mary Pipher is stressed out, anxious and self-blaming, which makes her a pretty bad candidate for Buddhism. She discusses her new memoir Seeking Peace: Chronicles of the Worst Buddhist in the World.

She talks about her quiet, polite meltdown.  Only her husband knew.  Not her friends.  Not her children.

Mary is the author of Reviving Ophelia as well.  No one tries harder than Mary to relax.  In the comment section WNYC listeners debate whether Mary is a narcisist or a buddhist.
