In this remarkable new book, a team of highly credentialed psychologists shows women how to overcome unproductive, blameful thoughts and unrealistic expectations—the things they tell themselves about how their marriages, friendships, children, and careers should be.

Each chapter lays out a widely-promoted image of a modern woman—the mother raising a perfect child and loving every minute of it, the top-of-her-game career woman, the woman who loves her body just as it is—then reveals how women more often beat themselves up with these ideals than achieve them.

Women can counteract these idealized images by using self talk to sort our where those "should" messages come from, isolate their own voices, and take steps to meet their unique need.
