Life is Too Big to Spend it Feeling Small!

Internationally-known actress and dog mom Anjali Bhimani's (Ms. Marvel, Overwatch, Apex Legends, Modern Family) new book, I Am Fun Size, and So Are You!, is a series of essays—part memoir, part life map— all combined to lead you through your own personal challenges and toward a fuller, bigger life.

“If it’s possible for a book to alter your outlook on life for the better, this is the one! Anjali’s perspective on life’s ups and downs is so insightful, and I feel like if each of us took a page out of her book, we’d probably be kicked out of the bookstore, so probably better to just get the whole thing. For anyone who is looking for a jolt of positivity in a complex world, look no further." ~Jason Ritter (A Million Little Things, Gravity Falls, Joan of Arcadia)

With sections like “How the Hell Do I Love Myself,” “Fabulous FOMO,” “Whatever the Weather,” and “The Candy-Coated Shell,” Anjali (with help from her dog, Charley) combines her unique sense of humor and insight to bring you “your buddy in a book.” With stories both cringeworthy (hello, high school) and uplifting, I Am Fun Size lets you know that not only are you not alone, but we’re all in this together.

"I’ve always been the person who instinctively dodges the often-pretentious self-help book experience, but what Anjali does here is connect as a person through humor, introspection, and authenticity that are as infectious as her in-person self. Such a fun and lovely read that allows real, helpful lessons and necessary reevaluations to sneak through in unexpected and wonderful ways!” ~ Matthew Mercer (Critical Role, Overwatch)

With a career spanning almost three decades, Anjali Bhimani is an actress in television, film, video games, and theatre. She is the host of the I Am Fun Size series on YouTube and a resident of Los Anjalis… er… Los Angeles.

The Reviews

There are so many books that offer inspiration or techniques and often they fall flat, gathering dust on the shelf. But not this book. This one is exciting and fun just in the way author Anjali Bhimani shares so many of her wildly exciting adventures and equally exciting friends and colleagues. For fans of her superhero gaming character Symetra of Overwatch like my nephews or her tv work on some of my favorite shows like my new favorite Ms. Marvel, getting behind-the-scene and real life of stories is so cool! For the entertainment value alone, this book is well worth it. But it’s so much more.Reading more like a conversation with your dearest, most supportive friend, “I Am Fun Size, And So Are You” is the compassionate inspiration that we all need, now. Not only does she share some really good techniques, she makes you feel she’s right there with you. I got my first copy through her launch program and it’s already become more of a workbook, so good I’m getting it in every format she offers! I’m excited with this Kindle edition to be able to take a copy with me on my phone so I can keep her positive voice up front and center wherever I am. It’s absolutely going to be one of my go-to gifts for anyone needing their hearts lifted. And that’s pretty much all of us these days. I love this book so much, and you will too!

From the first page to the last, this book and it’s brilliance brings joy to your soul and makes you smile. I laughed out loud. It is such a good read for all ages. If you need a reminder of all the good in life, Anjali’s energetic storytelling overflows with love and you can see it comes straight from her heart. Her stories inspire, uplift and entertain in a way that I could not put it down. I highly recommend “I am Fun Size and so are You” to everyone. You won’t regret it!

I Am Fun Size had me laughing out loud within 2 minutes. Bhimani is charming and real and neurotic and self aware and honest. The brilliance of this book is its seeming simplicity, while secretly being an incredible salve for the soul and reaffirmation that all of us struggle with the human experience no matter who we are, where we are, or what our set of circumstances are. If you're looking for an easy fun read that will leave you feeling seen and put a smile on your face, this is it.

Love love LOVE!! The moment I started reading this book I couldn’t put it down. Anjali took me on journey of emotions and insight - one moment I was smiling, the next wiping a tear and always chucking to myself throughout. Her voice is so clearly heard through this book that it feels like having an entertaining but equally deep conversation with a close friend. I highly recommend to anyone at any point in your life! Definitely a great gift that I can’t wait to share

I have the pleasure of both working with and knowing Anjali personally. Anyone reading even a page of this book might ask themselves “Is she for real? Who could possibly be this positive and energetic?” Well, the short answer is (no pun intended) Anjali. She walks like she talks, and if you want to grab ahold of that mojo, read this book.

Anjali’s good vibes come through on every page of this book. It’s an inspiring personal deep dive for all ages and sizes! This is a great read when you need a little pick-me-up— would also be a great gift. Love it!

This book is beautiful, funny, uplifting and entertaining as heck. LOVE this. Anjali's energy is infectious and you can feel how she impacts the people around her. She impacted me reading this. Just beautiful. Highly recommend.

I love this book so much. Anjali has such a beautiful, direct, empathetic way to inspire you with her stories and thoughts. I devoured this book and wished there was more (sequel, please!).
