I love Kendra Adachi and her podcast The Lazy Genius, so when I saw her latest book available, I had to read it!
From the very beginning, Kendra explains why she is writing this book and how it’s specifically written for women. She references stats and quotes a few other authors throughout the book, but generally it was all new advice and information to me. She includes notes where you can skip ahead to read portions you are most interested in and a great quick reference guide at the end summarizing the main points.
Kendra writes with her usual wit and candor so this book is helpful and entertaining. There's so much packed into the pages (in the best way possible) that I had to take it in over several weeks and months. It was well worth my time and made me reflect on several areas of my life as I was reading it.
Kendra does state she is a Christian and acknowledges that her beliefs inform her world view and some of her preferences, but that is less a part of this book than her first book, The Lazy Genius Way. I think this book has more wide appeal and you can tell Kendra is aware of the social climate we are in today and its effect on women. I love that she acknowledges how women are unique (regardless of whether you are a mother or not) and how living in a patriarchal system has affected our lives, how we manage our time, our opportunities, etc. It was powerful!
The book had a lot of acronyms which I love, but couldn’t remember on just one pass. I’ll read this one again and again, and think it’s a great choice for anyone who desires to have a better relationship with time management and wants to live an integrated life as Kendra says. Highly recommend and have already pre-ordered my copy to have in hand when it releases this fall!
Thank you to Convergent Books and NetGalley for the review copy. All opinions are my own.
