In his New York Times bestselling memoir, A Work in Progress, Connor Franta
shared his journey from small-town Midwestern boy to full-fledged Internet
sensation. Exploring his past with humor and astounding insight, Connor reminded
his fans of why they first fell in love with him on YouTube—and revealed to
newcomers how he relates to his millions of dedicated followers.
Now, two years later, Connor is ready to bring to light a side of himself
he’s rarely shown on or off camera. In this diary-like look at his life since
A Work In Progress, Connor talks about his battles with clinical depression,
social anxiety, self-love, and acceptance; his desire to maintain an authentic
self in a world that values shares and likes over true connections; his
struggles with love and loss; and his renewed efforts to be in the moment—with
others and himself.
Told through short essays, letters to his past and future selves, poetry, and
original photography, Note to Self is a raw, in-the-moment look at the
fascinating interior life of a young creator turning inward in order to move
forward.
