I am currently reading Tranquilista: Mastering the Art of Enlightened Work and Mindful Play
Book description:
In this pithy, would-be full-service self-help, Wilson seeks to motivate women to be their best selves, without losing sight of what makes us human. Helpful and humorous, Wilson’s friendly style is welcoming, if occasionally cringe-inducing (cutesy internet vernacular, like substituting “heart” for “like,” is sure to wear on certain readers).
Attempting to cover a broad range of women’s lifestyle topics-eating better, exercising, going green, finding inner peace, entrepreneurship-Wilson’s guide is occasionally scanty on details, and heavily lopsided toward the aspiring businesswoman: eating suggestions span little more than a page, while nearly half the text is devoted to small business growth.
As an accomplished entrepreneur (founder of a women’s advocacy group and her own “eco-fashion” line), Wilson’s business advice is valuable and well-considered but would serve better in a more narrow, career-focused volume, rather than as part of a holistic guide to life. END
