Everything I Need to Know I Learned from Other Women [Paperback]

B. J. Gallagher (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 1, 2002

Women don't need experts to tell them how to live wonderful lives; they just need to look to other women! The world is full of women who can inspire other women: women who overcome seemingly impossible difficulties, women who follow their dreams into uncharted territory, women who rise to incredible heights of achievement and success, and women who are mentors on finding spiritual fulfillment, creative expression, and deep personal satisfaction in life. Everything I Need to Know I Learned from Other Women is a collection of short stories, personal anecdotes, inspirational quotes, remembrances, and even comedic one-liners whose purpose is to celebrate what women teach each other. Inspirational lecturer, business consultant, storyteller, and bestselling author BJ Gallagher lets us in on the simple but essential wisdom that women can hold for each other. By sharing the stories about the women she has encountered in all walks of life from clients, coworkers, neighbors, shopkeepers, to mothers, daughters, sisters, aunts, grandmothers, and girlfriends, BJ helps reveal truths about the topics most women care about: friendship, love, sex, motherhood, food, body image, and happiness and fulfillment.

This happy little book is filled with reflections, wisdom and wit about women. It is uplifting and affirming. The stories, quotes and quips are both serious and playful. It caused me to laugh at myself and lighten up, as well as, to honor the women in my life who have influenced me in many positive ways.

Would that there were more books like this out there. It doesn't aspire to be anything more than it is: a sweet, life-affirming book that celebrates the impact women's wisdom has had on other women. I have read other books by B. J. Gallagher and I have to say she totally gets it. More, please!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book...but Beware the quality if they are gifts!, May 16, 2010

Great reading...so loved it that I bought six to give as gifts. Packaging was fine, but each one is damaged in some way. They have black dirt on the pages, folded or bent covers, and the tags were so sticky they left residue which cannot be removed... those things should be mentioned if they are being sold as NEW. Probably sitting around a dusty warehouse.
