Fierce Self-Compassion

A fiery sequel to her book, Self-Compassion, this book is about harnessing the yang energy frequently denied/discouraged in women. The author covers all aspects of life, and it would be an excellent read for someone who needs encouragement to stand up for themselves.

She speaks deftly on the challenges faced by women in the workplace. She emphasizes the need for yin/yang (feminine/masculine) energies to be balanced in individual people (vs genders), and specifically outlines how viewing men as agentic and women as communal creates unwinnable situations for many women.
