APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Self-improvement is serious business, but who says it can’t be fun? That’s the message that turned blogger and motivational speaker Rachel Hollis’ Girl, Wash Your Face into one of 2018’s breakout hits. With her follow-up, Hollis amplifies her earthy-but-inspirational philosophy, zeroing in on the message that women shouldn’t be afraid to want things for themselves—and to go after them with everything they’ve got. For those of us who tend to put others’ needs first, that simple idea can seem more scary than empowering. But Hollis’ confidence-building pep talks and relatable humor help quell the anxieties that often hobble our plans before we even start.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Hollis (Girl, Wash Your Face) presents strategies for women to pursue their ambitions in this passionate guide to building confidence. She wants readers to know that she "did not wake up" motivated and organized and relates stories of personal struggle to illustrate how lies can hold women back; particularly revealing is her discussion of her decision to undergo breast augmentation, which she originally believed was "artificial and vapid" but later realized "would make me feel more confident." Being open about her own priorities (herself, her marriage, her kids, and her work, in that order), Hollis writes with an authority that feels grounded and tested: "So stop waiting for someday; someday is a myth. Don't wait to have the time; start planning to make the time." Hollis's plan comes in three phases: letting go of excuses (such as being unworthy of success or paralyzed by fear of failure), adopting new practices (asking for help, learning to say no), and honing new skills (organization, and optimism). She also provides a list of practices she calls the "five to thrive": proper hydration, waking up earlier, giving up one unhealthy food for 30 days, daily movement, and daily faith-based gratitude practices. Hollis's writing is beautifully blunt, and she humbly thanks her fans for her success. Her actionable ideas and captivating voice will encourage women to believe in themselves.
