Sexy + Soul-full: A Woman's Guide to Productivity
What if love was your highest priority? What if your to-do list began with this commitment: "I will give highest priority to what I love most"? Sounds radical, doesn't it? If you're like most women, you tend to over-commit, saying "yes" to everything - with family, work and other activities jostling for your attention. You hear the message that society expects you to do and have it all, yet you're spread too thin. Whatever happened to your true self and authentic aspirations? In Sexy + Soul-full, Tara Rodden Robinson, Ph.D. examines this syndrome with humor and honesty, through the lens of her personal story and insights gained as a professional coach. She encourages you to look deeply into your life and (re)discover what you love most. Then, to make time for what you love, she teaches you the secrets of the alchemy of time. You will learn to convert scarcity into enough, urgency into ease and impatience into equanimity. Sexy + Soul-full will guide you through examples, reflections and exercises designed to help you define productivity-and success-on your own fully feminine terms.

This book really hit home for me. It takes the well known idea that women don’t give their highest priorities to what they love most, and transforms the reader into someone who not only knows how to discover and make time for their true loves, but knows how to achieve peace, equanimity, grace and gratitude in the process.
It immediately understands what it means to be a woman seeking greater productivity in time that seems restraining, and shows how it can be achieved while emphasizing what is beautiful and most important in our lives. With guided exercises and visualizations, the reader learns how to deal with what Tara calls the Three Destructive Myths About Time - #1: You will have more time later, #2: Time is outside my control, and #3 My time is precious. These helped change my shortsighted perception of time, which has made all the difference in the world. Now I can appreciate beautiful moments in life I hadn’t noticed because I was rushed and too impatient, and yet at the same time accomplish more of what I love. Honestly, it's hard not to stumble upon gratitude and happiness in this way!
This book is at once an insightful, encouraging, and sage companion that provides support in the journey to find things you love and make them a priority in time you’re given. I'd recommend it to anyone.
