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."

Some nice insight but a bit tedious
Revisado: 05-07-24
I appreciate some of the insight, introspection, and recounting of the journey losing her abode. Although some specific details are truly interesting, I felt it very tedious to have to listen to her unpacking of every little thing. I have my own clutter to get through, I really would rather have not spent so much time going through all of hers. It feels like this book could have been half the length it was and still have covered the meaningful ground. I kept with it curious to see where she was going with all of it and ended up being less than thrilled to have spent so much time ending up in a predictable place. I don’t know why I expected more, I guess that is my lesson to ruminate on.

For a quarter century, more than a million readers and listeners—scribes and scribblers of all ages and abilities—have been inspired by Anne Lamott’s hilarious, big-hearted, homespun advice. Advice that begins with the simple words of wisdom passed down from Anne’s father—also a writer—in the iconic passage that gives the book its title.

Violette Toussaint is the caretaker at a cemetery in a small town in Bourgogne. Casual mourners, regular visitors, and sundry colleagues - gravediggers, groundskeepers, and a priest - visit her to warm themselves in her lodge, where laughter, companionship, and occasional tears mix with the coffee she offers them. Her life is lived to the rhythms of their funny, moving confidences. But her routine is disrupted by the arrival of the local police chief, who insists on scattering the ashes of his recently deceased mother on the gravesite of a complete stranger.

A great story, an appalling reading

Beautifully written but no justice done in terms of vocal narration. So many French words butchered
Revisado: 04-15-24
Beautifully written but no justice done in terms of vocal narration. Should have been performed by someone who actually speaks French. I imagine Valerie Perrin must be cringing. How does this happen? So many words butchered! Overacted as well. Otherwise the story is masterfully presented.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 256
We congratulate ourselves when we resist the donut in the office breakroom. We celebrate our restraint when we hold back from sending an email in anger. We feel virtuous when we wake up at dawn to get a jump on the day. We put others’ needs ahead of our own and believe this makes us exemplary. In On Our Best Behavior, journalist Elise Loehnen explains that these impulses—often lauded as unselfish, distinctly feminine instincts—are actually ingrained in us by a culture that reaps the benefits, via an extraordinarily effective collection of mores known as the Seven Deadly Sins.

So much to contemplate. Grateful for the insight, exploration, and wisdom that Elise presents in this comprehensive analysis of what may doom the future of humanity and what can possibly save us.
