"Meh. The JFK motorcade chapter was so lame. I've stopped there and probably won't finish this book-- first one I've dumped all year." Oct 16, 2015 08:08PM

“Our work, our relationships, and our lives succeed or fail one conversation at a time. While no single conversation is guaranteed to transform a company, a relationship, or a life, any single conversation can. Speak and listen as if this is the most important conversation you will ever have with this person. It could be. Participate as if it matters. It does.”
Susan Scott, Fierce Conversations: Achieving Success at Work and in Life One Conversation at a Time

Caitlin Moran
“When statistics come in saying that only 29 percent of American women would describe themselves as feminist - and only 42 percent of British women - I used to think, What do you think feminism IS, ladies? What part of 'liberation for women' is not for you? Is it freedom to vote? The right not to be owned by the man you marry? The campaign for equal pay? 'Vogue' by Madonna? Jeans? Did all that good shit GET ON YOUR NERVES? Or were you just DRUNK AT THE TIME OF SURVEY?”
Caitlin Moran, How to Be a Woman

Brené Brown
“It's in our biology to trust what we see with our eyes. This makes living in a carefully edited, overproduced and photoshopped world very dangerous.”
Brené Brown

Brené Brown
“Compassion is not a virtue -- it is a commitment. It's not something we have or don't have -- it's something we choose to practice.”
Brené Brown, I Thought It Was Just Me: Women Reclaiming Power and Courage in a Culture of Shame

Caitlin Moran
“...there is the sheer emotional, intellectual, physical, chemical pleasure of your children. The honest truth is that the world holds no greater gratification than lying in bed with your children, putting your leg on top of them in a semi-crushing manner, while saying sternly, "You are a poo.”
Caitlin Moran, How to Be a Woman
