Girlosophy Real Girls' Stories by Anthea Paul
With the rise of the cult of celbrity over the past few decades, all of us are increasingly (over)exposed to images and stories of people who, for the most part, act or live in ways that are far too removed from our own life experiences. This has left a gaping hole for those who could rightly be considered role models or true leaders for us to aspire and look up to. There are many worthy individuals who would be far more appropriate for hero worship out there, but they are not reported on nearly enough.
This book is based on the firm belief that the best role models are those whom we can relate to and understand. Each person we meet possesses qualities or an approach to life that we can learn from. And on closer inspection, the most humble and the most accomplished have much in common.
Personal and intimate, the featured girls offer their perspective on many subjects. They speak of family matters, love and the role of the heart, work and studies, the future, a sense of their unique purpose and destiny, and of their understanding of the mystical side of spirituality.
A beautiful gift for any woman or girl, and even as a coffee table book, this would be hard for anyone to put down.
