We: A Manifesto for Women Everywhere by Gillian Anderson
4.0
To be honest, I picked this up because Gillian Anderson co-authored it, but I liked it and found it helpful. (I ACTUALLY GOT TO MEET GILLIAN WHILE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF READING THIS BOOK, VIA VIRTUAL CHAT. She’s been a huge influence in my life since I was 12 & it was so surreal and amazing.)
This is definitely a self-help book with a feminist slant, so if you don’t like the self-help genre, you probably won’t like it. But it has a lot of simple, age-old advice, stuff my therapist would encourage me to do. And I’ve already found it helpful when I’ve actually applied it.
Some people said they couldn’t relate to it, but it mostly just talked about being grateful, loving others and yourself, being kind and taking action against injustice. It was about finding unity and inner peace, and I’m down with all those things. It’s kind of introductory level to doing self-work, or a good reminder for others who have already done this work.
It was good for me because my life is a literal mess of misery and pain, lol, so I’m always looking for any positive changes I can make to help myself and the world around me.
I have the hardback but I listened to the audiobook & really enjoyed it, as GA reads part of it. I found more connection to the authors that way.
If you follow even just a couple of these principles, I think it could make a positive impact on your life.
