Some of these essays worked better for me, personally, than others. I really connected with Luvvie Ajayi Jones (been a huge fan for years) and Priya Parkers.
Hands down my favorite though was On Silence by Natalie Guerrero.
"We have to break our silence - first inside our own lives, and then outside of them too. It may not inoculate us from heartbreak, but it will protect us from betraying ourselves. Because the only thing I'm sure of now is that when we break our silence and speak our truth, we don't only free ourselves. We free the world."

This is a book of essay by various people - most of which are female. They tell stories about how they faced low points in their lives and how they came out of those low point to empower their lives in one way or another. They were able to see the world in better ways and were able to find, and use, their voices to enrich the world around them. I like it!
