I'm No Philosopher, But I Got Thoughts cover

Aristotle. Socrates. Descartes. And now, Chenoweth. (How about some women, am I right?)

From television actress, Broadway star, and New York Times bestselling author Kristin Chenoweth comes I'm No Philosopher, But I Got Thoughts, an inspiring high-design, colorful book featuring philosophical-ish musings on connection, creativity, loss, love, faith, and closure. Just like Kristin’s grandmother inspired her to trust her heart and develop her own belief system, you'll be inspired to develop your own life philosophies, as you journey through some of Kristin's most vulnerable and humorous personal stories, in her constant pursuit to make the most out of life.

In each chapter, you'll find:

  • Behind-the-scenes stories from Kristin's personal life
  • High-design, colorful pages of inspirational quotes
  • Engaging prompts, prayers, and inspiring quotes


Oh, and a warning: There will be Bible verses. There will be f-bombs. Read responsibly.

I'm No Philosopher, But I Got Thoughts is the perfect book to pick up on days when you need an extra shot of encouragement, a little laughter, and a gentle reminder that kindness can take you a long way. This is a great gift to give for birthdays, holidays, graduations, Mother's Day, or for fans of Kristin Chenoweth, known for her Emmy Award–winning role in the ABC hit series Pushing Daisies and Broadway's Wicked.

'Even in her darkest moments, Chenoweth possesses a bubbly lightness. It feels like catching up with your slightly wacky favorite aunt over a glass of bourbon. Maybe you believe only a little bit of what she says, or maybe none of it hits the mark, but it's the joy of her company you're truly after. You'll laugh, you might even cry, and you'll leave feeling a little lighter and a little more loved than before.' * BOSTON GLOBE *
'From the book's hot-pink cover to the 200-page collection of 'mini-meditations for saints, sinners, and the rest of us,' this book gave me a new perspective on faith, rage, and what it means to heal in your own way, with a lot of laughing required. Each section reads like an intimate phone call with a friend, with Chenoweth sharing her thoughts on a mix of topics from living with chronic pain to handling loss, anxiety, and closure.' * POPSUGAR *
'In this humorous volume, actor Chenoweth opines on how to handle life's hurdles. She uses personal anecdotes to frame her meditations on anxiety, failure, love, and work. Chenoweth's fans will be enchanted.' * Publishers Weekly *
'Sweet and salty, hilarious and vulnerable-'I'm No Philosopher, But I Got Thoughts' is signature Kristin Chenoweth.' * Kathy Najimy, activist, actor, producer, writer *
'This 'KC' (as we lovingly call each other) has a light that makes everyone feel seen, appreciated, and understood. Kristin Chenoweth can connect with ANYONE. Her heart and soul are just what we need in these troubled times.' * Katie Couric, award-winning journalist, producer, and New York Times best-selling author *
'When you feel that your life's worries are too heavy to carry anymore. put them down--and pick up this book. A game changer!' * Hoda Kotb, co-anchor, TODAY, and co-host, TODAY with Hoda & Jenna *
