I’m the author of You Can Just Do Things, coming out July 21 via Harper Edge. I write about personal agency from the perspective of someone who learned it late in life — to make it easier for others to learn it, too. Everything I know about agency comes from my personal experience: as a former Supreme Court attorney, no. 1-ranked female poker player in the world, drug addict, biotech founder, and the CEO of a multibillion-dollar foundation — in that order.
