Came in swinging ! And hit a home run
Great read ! And abs even greater re read . Regardless of what stage of life you’re in the hacks and overall story is heart filled, helpful, and over pleasant to listen to .
She’s straight to the point but practical. Precise but leaves wiggle room.
The book is a gentle reminder that you can “have jt all” as long as you’re setting the terms abs leading a fulfilled life.
Abs if you’re not quite there , that’s ok you can get there!
Waiting for the next book- wouldn’t even matter the topic , I would still read jt because now I feel like I know the author and want to hear what she has to say .
Thank you

Applicable Advice
Great book for business executives and anyone who wants to run their lives more efficiently. The most surprising and fascinating advice that I cannot wait to implement is video recording tantrums. I agreed with all of the advice throughout the book, especially some of the small touches like hand written notes and arranging social gatherings considering leaving space for your guests to create their own experiences.
