Thoughts: I enjoyed this book. I think there is a lot of value in the advice Rachel Hollis gives. The main takeaway is that you should own your dreams and goals rather than letting fear of what others may think stop you. It’s a good message and a good read.
Favorite Quote: Who you are is defined by the next decision you make, not the last one.
First sentence: Excuses disguise themselves as any number of things.
Summary from Amazon.com:
“I believe we can change the world. But first, we’ve got to stop living in fear of being judged for who we are.”
Rachel Hollis has seen it too often: women not living into their full potential. They feel a tugging on their hearts for something more, but they’re afraid of embarrassment, of falling short of perfection, of not being enough.
In Girl, Stop Apologizing, #1 New York Times bestselling author and founder of a multimillion-dollar media company, Rachel Hollis sounds a wake-up call. She knows that many women have been taught to define themselves in light of other people—whether as wife, mother, daughter, or employee—instead of learning how to own who they are and what they want. With a challenge to women everywhere to stop talking themselves out of their dreams, Hollis identifies the excuses to let go of, the behaviors to adopt, and the skills to acquire on the path to growth, confidence, and believing in yourself.
