Excuses, borrowed guilt and the habit of apologising for ambition are what Rachel Hollis sets out to dismantle.
The book is organised in three parts: excuses to drop, behaviours to adopt and skills to build, with each part broken into short, direct chapters. Hollis writes conversationally, uses her own setbacks as illustration, and closes sections with concrete steps rather than affirmations.
Where its value sits:
• A three-part structure moving from excuses through habits to practical skills
• Goal-setting exercises that ask for specifics instead of general intentions
• A conversational voice drawing on the author's own working life
• Chapters short enough to read between other commitments
Written with women balancing work, family and personal goals in mind, and useful to any reader building confidence, available in English at Boipoka.
