This was much better than expected, super practical and includes lots of different situations/households which I appreciated. It's all about stepping back, taking stock, shutting out the "but everyone else says/does/has..." bull in your head and creating balance. Prioritizing yourself so that you can be the best you! Non-judgemental, refreshingly logical and rational thinking.

An easy and practical read by one of my Professors at LSUS, Dr. Bost. The book has helpful insights that I found beneficial since I, like most women nowadays, have hurried woman syndrome.

Every woman should read this book- because we ALL go through those times where we just aren't handling life like we would want to. The most informative section was how depression works, and how important it is to realize when we are ALMOST depressed- heading towards a deeper darker place, but not there yet. Completely helped me understand the way I (and most women I think) feel sometimes. The ways to combat the "hurried woman syndrome" are very practical and logical- when I read them- I felt like saying "duh- don't we all know this?" Yet the way it is written is pretty inspiring and clearly explained- and helped me actually get up and make a priority those things I know will overall help my well being.
