I liked this book.
Normally, I am not a great fan of non-fiction books and struggle to read one from cover to cover.
However, this book was interesting enough (and intensely readable) that I didnt struggle at all with wanting to turn the next page.
(Okay maybe i struggled a little on the chapters about help specifically for those with kids - surprisingly it's not something that interests me all that much haha)
I didnt agree with everything in this book. Rachel has incredibly strong views on everything she writes about and some of it... just wasnt for me.
But.
I did find this book to be motivational.
You can hear the passion in Hollis' narrative. She is urging you to go outside and make the best of your life, because that's your own personal duty and no one else's.
Theres a few people out there loudly declaring that this book is only for privileged white females with a ton of money backing them and no real issues in their lives.
I personally dont believe that for a moment. I think Rachel touches on subjects that the majority of us struggle with but would like to pretend we dont (lack of self-motivation, holding oneself back for various issues, judging other women without a specific cause but simply because it's a habit, comparing ourselves to others even when our lives are nothing alike, weight insecurities or constantly blaming our surroundings for feelings of frustration or unhappiness)
I liked the overall message: you can change your perspective on life if you truly want to.
"Tomorrow will be better than today."
