The so-called 'deadly sins' have been used by the patriarchy to control women throughout history. So, what would happen if we stopped trying to be 'good'? Provocative and bold, On Our Best Behaviour is a probing analysis of history and contemporary culture that reveals how women have internalised the patriarchy, and how we unwittingly reinforce it. By sharing her own story and the spiritual wisdom of various traditions, Elise Loehnen shows us how we can break free and discover a path towards a more balanced, fulfilled way to live.
