Waldman’s non-fiction is marked by fearless self-disclosure and willingness to challenge social norms. A Really Good Day chronicles her month using microdoses of LSD to manage treatment-resistant mood disorder, combining personal experience with research into psychedelic therapy and drug policy. Bad Mother pushes back against impossible standards for mothers, arguing that women are judged by contradictory expectations that serve no one. Her work consistently connects personal experience to larger social issues, particularly around women’s lives and criminal justice reform.
