It’s 2006. After a string of rejections from men who tell her they could never, ever, ever see her “that way,” awkward third-grade teacher Micaela Blei signs up for a mysterious course called “The Divine Feminine,” and feels like she might have found the key to the perfect life. Turns out if you’re an A student, you can get an A in anything–including men. Pretty soon she’s learning to "conjure" her desires with vision boards, flirtations, and even a daring jumbotron viewing party for her, ahem ... "divine center."

Humor, Humanity, and the Heart of Self-Love
Revisado: 12-12-24
Listening to this felt like tuning into an amazing podcast season. Micaela Blei’s voice is captivating, and it’s no surprise she has a background in improv performance and has won awards at The Moth. I'm so glad she performed her own story - it makes it so warm and personal!
It’s a relatable coming-of-age story for anyone who’s ever longed for a rule book to make life work, especially in a world that seems to hand out instruction manuals to everyone else. Blei’s honesty, humor, and self-awareness turn moments of pain into something deeply human—and even laughable.
Her storytelling is courageous and precise, full of the kind of grace that comes from reflecting on a time of uncertainty and self-doubt. It’s an invitation for all of us to look at those tender, messy parts of our own lives with more compassion.
The events in this memoir are often funny, but the story as a whole is not entirely "light". Blei uses humor and observations about social norms to keep up the pace and —perfect for a total listen under three hours. I devoured it in two long drives the day it was released.
This is a beautiful memoir for anyone striving to love themselves a little more.

In 2010, pioneering sociologist Catherine Hakim shocked the world with a provocative new theory: In addition to the three recognized personal assets (economic, cultural, and social capital), each individual has a fourth asset - erotic capital - that he or she can, and should, use to advance within society. In this bold and controversial book, Hakim explores the applications and significance of erotic capital, challenging the disapproval meted out to women and men who use sex appeal to get ahead in life.

The book was solid. It's relatively quick and will provoke discussion. Reviews on Amazon will do the content more justice.
The recording and the narrator are the weak point. Neither is intolerable, but the recording is poorly spliced while the narrator butchers any French words or names, which are surprisingly common.
