Everything you need to hear

I recommend everyone should read this book! everyone can benefit from the information on the path to becoming more socially aware of our own behavior and the behavior of others. Extremely easy to listen to and is explained in a really easy to understand way. There are many different facets to this book and I particularly enjoyed the chapter about conserving energy and setting up boundaries, its made me look at my relationships and question the unhealthy behaviours they exhibit but also my own as well.

Everyone should read this masterpiece.

Living in the patriarchy, everyone at least needs to be hear the counter arguments, in order to make a conscious and educated choice about how we wish to live our lives. Personally I think we should dismantle the patriarchy all together, but not everyone might agree. So go ahead and give this a listen, you'll learn a lot.

I did learn some things, at the very least.

I think it's a relatively well-written book with the demographic being women who are lost or need help through trauma. It's essentially like unacademic sociology piece that's able to be digestable for crowds that need self-help.

A must read for all genders

I purchased this book when it was on pre-order . I arrived and I read it so quickly ! I purchased three more books for friends that where going through break ups. I then decided to purchase the audiobook so I could take in all of the information again. It's changed my life , and I know I will be re-reading the book and listening to the audiobook again and again .
Florence narrates the book beautifully and makes you feel like she's talking directly to you . If you purchase the audiobook and enjoy it , I really recommend purchasing the hard copy so you can enjoy all the beautiful artwork in it.
This book isn't just about feminism - it covers racism , ableism, LBGTQ+ , privilege , the importance of setting boundaries...I could go on forever!
This is a much needed book for anyone who wants to grow and start taking care of their goddamn selves !
I hope you find this review helpful x
