Blaze Your Own Trail: An Interactive Guide to Navigating Life with Confidence, Solidarity and Compassion
Description
by Rebekah Bastian (Author), Sarah Lacy (Foreword)
A modern, feminist
take on the classic choose-your-own-journey book, inspiring readers to
embrace the fact that there is no singular right path - just your own!
So
many women enter their adult lives believing that they should know
where they are going and how to get there. This can make life decisions
feel intimidating and overwhelming. While some choices that lie ahead
are fairly predictable, such as those surrounding career, partnership,
and motherhood, the effects of these choices can lead to more
complicated and unexpected turns that are seldom discussed.
Rather
than suggesting a rule book, Rebekah Bastian, vice president at Zillow
and recognized thought leader, inspires you to Blaze Your Own Trail. "I
have the benefit of being a living example of crooked paths, magnificent
screw-ups, and shocking successes," she writes. Through storylines and
supportive data that explore workplace sexism, career changes,
marriage, raising children, existential crises, and everything in
between, you will learn to embrace and feel less alone in your own
nonlinear journey. Even better, you have a unique advantage while living
in the pages of this book: you can turn back decisions and try other
routes. There are nineteen possible outcomes many routes to get there.
You will find that you have the strength to make it through any of them!
