Jenny Block writes for a variety of regional and national publications as well as for various anthologies. The inspiration for her new book, "Open: Love, Sex, and Life in an Open Marriage" stems from her piece, “Portrait of an Open Marriage” which ran in Tango, and was reprinted by Cosmopolitan Germany and The Huffington Post.
Jenny holds both her Bachelor’s and her Master’s in English from Virginia Commonwealth University, where she taught composition for nearly ten years. She also spent time teaching at the University of Richmond as well as at Strayer University and wrote and lectured about teaching and learning for Newsweek Magazine and Addison Wesley Longman Publishing.
Thanks to the ALC program by @librofm I was able to get familiar with Block’s writing and I fully enjoyed her Badass Manifest every step of the way.
This is by no means the regular manifest future whatever book. This is serious business. I didn’t want the audiobook to finish. I needed that voice chapter by chapter telling me, encouraging me that to do, to manifest and mainly to believe in myself.
Jenny Block created a whole new way to talk to ourselves and unlock our true potential! If you feel that manifesting is not for you, or you feel a bit skeptical: this is the book that will change your mind!
I don’t recall the last time I didn’t want a book to finish! Thank you, Jenny! I had an amazing time!
The narration was so powerful as well! I loved it!🙌🏼
The book talks about how manifesting is not magically making things go your way but it is setting an intentional goal and working towards it. The author is realistic about what you can achieve. With personal anecdotes and quotes from other powerful manifestors, the book is a quick read. I was glad to see that the author did not perpetuate the idea that there is a mantra or a formula that will get you everything you desire if you say it everyday. The book talks about how you can make goals for yourself and work towards it. However, since it was an audiobook, I wish the narrator used some means of differentiating other people's stories or quotes from the author's words to avoid confusion.
