Lots of useful, in-depth worksheets that I thought I would hate (😅) but were genuinely helpful. Some chapters weren’t quite for me (crystals, healing), but I found this to be a great clear and straightforward complement to the Rachel Pollack books which tend towards the esoteric and mystical. Both have been educational and provide a well-rounded foundation.

100000/10, I loved it. I skipped a few things here and there that resonated less but the material that did was so worth it. I can see why it’s such a classic.
