Plappen Tao of the Defiant Woman: Five Brazen Ways to Accept What You Must and Rebel Against the Rest

Recommended For Women Of All Ages

Review

Here is a book that explores how women can learn to accept the things that life puts in their path, but not let it get them down.

Nature changes throughout the seasons with cycles of birth and death. Trees grow leaves, lose them and grow more leaves. People are part of nature, so women should understand that their bodies are changing as they age. Learn to embrace your maturity and life experience. Much as you may wish it to be otherwise, you can’t be twenty-five years old forever.

Just as your body is changing, so too are your friendships. People enter your life, and people leave your life. Not everyone is intended to be a lifelong companion. Learn to treasure those friendships for however long they are part of your life.

Think about creating a kind of support network of other women that you can laugh, and cry, with. When life gets difficult, as it will now and then, maybe one of them can help you to navigate the emotional rapids. Perhaps you can be the one to help someone else through a tough period. For instance, if you are going through a divorce, you may not be able to do anything about the end of the marriage, but you can do something about your attitude. Are you going to, figuratively, lay down and die, or are you going to pick yourself up, and move on with your life? No doubt, he has already moved on.

Positive role models can be found in the most unique places. Find one, and learn how to be one yourself. You don’t have to do anything extraordinary, sometimes just being a kind and decent person is enough to qualify you as a role model. Don’t give up on your desire to learn new things, or to realize when your life is moving in a new and different direction. You never know what could be just around the corner.

The Tao (The Way) is all about living in harmony with nature, about "going with the flow." This book does a very good job of pointing out the things women need to accept and the that they can change. It is recommended for women of all ages.
