In the disarray that followed 2020, a profound yearning for meaning and genuine connection emerged in many of us. David Maeda’s memoir, This Is Not Who We Are, arrives as a beacon of relevance in these turbulent times. With a deft touch, Maeda intertwines his personal battles—navigating the murky waters of purpose, romantic entanglements, and the shadows of deep depression—with the collective struggles of everyday Americans grappling with a pandemic and a fraught election cycle.
Maeda’s candid reflections on his life, encompassing both triumphs and tribulations, offer not just entertainment but a mirror reflecting our shared humanity. Through his engaging narratives, he invites us to explore what it means to remain true to oneself amid the cacophony of societal expectations and pressures.
If you find resonance in memoirs like *Lost & Found* by Kathryn Schulz or *A Way Out of No Way: A Memoir of Truth, Transformation, and the New American Story* by Raphael G. Warnock, then This Is Not Who We Are promises to be a compelling addition to your reading list—one that speaks to the heart of our current moment.
