Starred review from February 15, 2019
As an ad agency executive, Wintsch surveyed mothers worldwide to track their hidden feelings and deepest secrets. What she found beneath polished exteriors and happy faces were real fears and self-doubts, which she calls dragons. Pairing her findings with research from self-help books and hours of Oprah reruns, Wintsch comes up with a series of steps to help readers slay their dragons and revitalize their lives. She begins by using prompts to help readers dig into the origins of their doubts. She uses her own experiences as well as those of women she met in workshops as examples as she focuses on the messages we tell ourselves in contrast with what we tell trusted friends. Urging everyone to tear off their masks and be honest with each other, Wintsch offers a blueprint for forming reasonable expectations and accepting ourselves as we are. She focuses on gratitude, self-compassion, and honesty as ways to dispel doubts and guilt and suggests ways to teach children how to confront their own dragons. Wintsch's style is brisk and forthright, with enough humor to make readers laugh even as she illuminates dark corners. Although it's aimed at moms, any woman will find this enlightening and encouraging.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2019, American Library Association.)
