Summary of the Book:
From the New York Times bestselling author of Fair Play and the Marie Kondo of relationships comes an inspirational guide for setting new personal goals, rediscovering your interests, cultivating creativity, and reclaiming your Unicorn Space.
In her acclaimed New York Times bestseller (and Reese’s Book Club pick) Fair Play, Eve Rodsky urged women to rebalance their domestic responsibilities and reclaim time for themselves. Her book started a national conversation and launched a movement toward greater equality on the home front…and then quarantine hit, and life as we knew it was upended. Now all of us are faced with an even more pressing question: how can we–even in the bleakest days of working-from-home, remote-schooling, and too-much-togetherness–carve out a little time for ourselves?
This personal time–what Rodsky calls Unicorn Space, what makes us interesting–isn’t just a luxury, she explains. The research is clear that it’s a necessity for our mental health, our physical well-being, and our very sense of self. But how do we find any time for ourselves in a moment when we have less autonomy than we’ve ever had? And what do we do with that freedom when we actually get it? Find Your Unicorn Space is a practical program for reclaiming (or discovering for the first time) the natural gifts, interests, and talents that make you uniquely you. With her trademark mix of how-to advice and big-picture inspirational thinking, Rodsky shows us a clear plan to reclaim the lost art of having fun, manifest your own Unicorn Space in an already-too-busy life, and unleash your talents into the world.
Whether readers are partnered or not, have three children or none, or whether their work is paid or unpaid, Find Your Unicorn Space teaches anyone how to create time in their already-busy life to tap into their unique expression of creativity, and find purpose that will allow them to live a happier, more fulfilled life.
My Personal Review: I received a copy of this book for a fair and honest review. I have to admit that before reading this book I had no idea what Unicorn Space was or how it could be helpful to me. I know that life is busy and there is a need to carve out time for one’s creative self. When I got to the section of the 3 C’s of Creativity. I had no problem with the first two Cs. But the last one called completion. That one tends to be a nemesis of mine. I am doing my best to work on that one and this book gave me some ideas on how to do that and not lose myself in the process.
My Rating of the Book: 4 Stars
