Adventures in Opting Out: A Field Guide to Leading an Intentional Life by Cait Flanders

2.0

I really like the message of this book, listening to your gut, managing the pushback you might get from opting out, keeping important people in your life even if they might not understand… I think the tone and writing style just didn’t work for me. All of the analogies were cute but didn’t always make sense, and it veered more into self-help and giving directions rather than telling the story of how she spent a year traveling from place to place. I think these days I prefer my “self-help” more in the form of reading what works for other people and taking what might work for me over an instruction manual, and that’s a little what this felt like.

The ARC of this book was provided by the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
