Grow - The Modern Woman's Handbook - How to Connect with Self, Lovers, and Others

by Lynne Franks

Learning to juggle career and relationships, while living a healthy, fulfilled life, has created a whole new set of circumstances unique to the modern woman. At the same time, we’re living in a world that needs the balance of feminine energy at its most powerful to create a sustainable, positive future for humankind. Lynne Franks’s new book, GROW, is aimed at women of all ages who wish to get back in touch with their feminine center, where they remember how to connect, first, with themselves and the divine; second with their families and loved ones, and third with their local and global communities. It’s an encyclopedic examination of all of the issues that face a woman of the 21st century, including health and well-being, spirituality, career, relationship, sexuality, family, community, and social change. GROW, based on the colorful format of Lynne’s previous work, The SEED Handbook, contains fun exercises, stories, and guidance to take you through a ten-part program to enable you to reach the Gorgeous Real Original Woman inside and find your life’s purpose.

Note to self: don't read self-help books written by people who aren't qualified to help out with anything.

To be fair, some sections were better than others. A lot of them left the ballpark for me personally. The interactive questions and activities aren't groundbreaking or particularly insightful.

This really just...wasn't for me.

More compelling than the typical self help type book.
Franks has a frivolous and friendly style that is enchanting.
It's a good read on a rainy day if you are in need of a bit of inspiration for a change in life

[Deirdre · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is one of those books that has become quite popular in the last number of years, a book about self-exploration and learning more about yourself. It's also a mish-mash of different cultures and has a fairly rigid view of women and their role.

Interesting to read but to be taken with a grain of salt.

Feel good book, it enables you to like/love yourself and look beyond your faults and focus on the positives.
