I have mixed feelings about this book. The author mocks and degrades a selfless woman as one who is controlled & compliant with the conditioning of a patriarchal culture. I disagree. A "free" woman can be selfless with her time and skills but also pursue her passions and purpose in what she is called to do in life. This doesn't makes her blindly compliant with societal norms. It means she lifts people around her.

“There is another kind of pain that comes not from losing beautiful things but from never even trying for them.”

Couple poignant thought-provoking paragraphs:
“In my thirties, I learned that there is a type of pain in life that I want to feel. It’s the inevitable excruciating necessary pain of losing beautiful things: trust, dreams, health, animals, relationships, people. This kind of pain is the price of love, the cost of living a brave, open-hearted life—and I’ll pay it.”
