New Methods for Women

New Methods for Women

49 lessons for the life you want

Summary

‘Many self-help books will instruct women how to navigate the system as is, but Reid rallies for the ways to break it all down and start anew.’ Cosmopolitan

Sharmadean Reid’s 49 methods will empower you to become the person you want to be. Instead of shrinking to fit into a system that wasn’t built for you, she wants you to know yourself better, thrive, succeed and get what you want out of every aspect of life.

As a founder, creative director and mentor, Sharmadean has moved beyond ‘girlbossing’ into a new era of being unapologetically herself in work and life. Her fierce new perspectives on work, self, friendship, parenthood and relationships interweave the lessons she’s learned with a diverse range of thinkers, ideas and stories that have informed her approach.

Full of practical advice on identifying what is holding you back (sometimes the system, sometimes yourself), building community, using data for decision-making and holding a vision for your future, these are the 49 tools you need to achieve the change you want.

Reviews

  • As much as New Methods For Women is a book about work, it is also a book about emotional and physical health, understanding yourself and the world around you.
