In this ground breaking and life changing book, authors Lily Hills and Karen Hudson explore how women have inadvertently disempowered and sabotaged themselves personally and professionally by being their own worst critics. On a broader scale the book speaks to how women's collective self-denigration as a gender has not only diluted our influence in a world in desperate need of our social, spiritual and political contributions, but has also prevented us from uniting in ways that would benefit the entire planet. In order to support women in accessing the very best of who they are, their confident, joyous, wise and courageous selves, the book offers women three simple steps that will allow them to reduce the optional stress in their lives as they step into their strongest selves and access the joy that is their birthright. "Like The Feminine Mystique, A Feminine Manifesta has the potential to initiate the next women movement, where women come together from their most empowered selves to make the world a better place for all humankind." -
