Woman-Written Personal/Professional Development
Glow up, girl 💅🏻
Why is it considered "personal/professional development" when men read & write these types of books, but "self help" if a woman is reading or writing it?
Actualized, confident, and educated women are less controllable, so they shame us for seeking to better ourselves in an attempt to discourage our growth and strength. I say screw that. Become ungovernable.
Personal and professional development books (including personal finance) by women authors. Suggestions welcome.
Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking.
Just a collection of books from across the genre spectrum featuring eye-catching flowers on the covers. Suggestions welcome!
The least self-help self-help books
Self-help-ish books that don’t prescribe waking up at 5am, bubble baths, or generally making you feel worse about yourself than you already do. Feel free to comment suggestions!
