Life-changing

My therapist recommended this book to me when I was down and out, emotionally, mentally and physically exhausted.
Since listening to the audio book I have already started implementing some of the strategies (mainly around boundary setting) and am already seeing positive results!
I absolutely loved the way that this book is not only written, but narrated in such a calm and soothing manner. It felt like I was getting guidance, compassion and reassurance from two maternalistic warriors, who have seen and done it all and could empathise with my pain.
My only critique, would be the overly gendered language that was used. I could see NB, gender queer/questioning persons also identifying with the principals in this book. Perhaps the use of gender neutral pronouns might foster a better sense of inclusion.
Otherwise, I love love love this book! I’m about to start listening to it again! Thank you Emily and Amelia for this wonderful gift.

For everyone

This was brilliant! Not only have I gotten insight into my friends, family, colleagues and co-humans who identify as female - but as a self-diagnosed cis-gender man (albeit gay) I also identified with a lot of the topics discussed and gained insight to myself as well. An unexpected gem!

Thank you!

Thank you for writing this amazing book. I read it twice to soak up all the concepts fully and am using it to move from coping to thriving.

Gently pragmatic

Emily and Amelia have an amazing balance of such big sciencey brains that are so passionate about women's health and wellbeing, and also a rare understanding of how to communicate with those who have big brains that aren't so sciencey or specifically passionate on this topic. This book is approachable for almost anyone, and yet so rife with real scientific info. Love love love it.

Burnout

I loved the book and the narrator. But mostly I loved how it opened my eyes to burnout from a woman's persepctive

Best!

Wonderful and insightful! Every woman should listen to it! And most of men.
Naration is just awsome!
Loved it from the begining to the end!

A beautiful, brilliantly researched book foe women

I heard their podcast on Dare to Lead with Brène Brown and got hooked to the book. It’s a scientific narration that tells what ails us Human Givers , a distinct category from human beings. We probably know what is not right but they put words, scientific research and and real life examples to help find the truth. Not preachy, not self helpish but more like a conversation with self. I recommend to every woman who feels all she’s done is being a “giver”.

Amazing!

Every woman needs to read this book! I'm glad I read it. It's a really nice work!

TLet us look after each other whilst looking after ourselves!

Amazing and very inspirational read thank you 🙏🏽
Every school, home, corporate, book club and person should have access to this book.

This isnt just a book for women!

I LOVED this book and having both authors narrate was fantastic. So many valuable learnings, key takeaways for me were how to recognise and complete the stress cycle (getting those 20 second hugs in regularly now!!), how to SMASH the patriarchy, and how to let go of being a human giver and the expectation that I need to do everything for everyone. I so enjoyed the emphasis in this book on the importance of support and connection, we are not meant to do things on our own. Buy this book, it will enrich your view of life!
