Recommendation

Actor Gillian Anderson and writer-activist Jennifer Nadel, longtime friends, collaborated on this step-by-step guide designed to help women create better lives. Starting with a foundation of gratitude, meditation and self-care, they outline nine principles for daily living. The first four address issues within yourself, including being honest and accepting life as it is. The last five address being in the world with humility, peace, love, joy and kindness,which they define as “love in action.” Anderson and Nadel offer exercises in each ideal to help you connect with yourself. Women seeking ways to move beyond societal – or self-imposed – stereotypes will find an open door and a clear path.

Take-Aways

  • Reconnect to yourself to build your strength and to strengthen other women.
  • You need four fundamentals to begin the path of self-discovery: be grateful, be gentle, be responsible for yourself and meditate.
  • Four principles can help you remove the emotional scar tissue that impedes your growth: “honesty, acceptance, courage and trust.
