Gumption: The Practical Woman’s Guide to Living an Adventuresome Life is an entertaining but totally rubber-hits-the-road manual for self-liberation, with a side-serving of zany illustrations by New Yorker cartoonist Victoria Roberts - because laughter is the best tool ever for accepting our foibles and getting past them. Gumption will help you: • Discover that being adventuresome is a skill anyone can gain. • Learn how, in a no-nonsense, 6-step program that helps you reframe your priorities, understand what’s possible, plan for it, and make it happen. • Bust through barriers of fear, guilt, obligation and other villains of self-sabotage. The Gumption program is built on the hard-won wisdom of scores of women just like you, who’ve started their own business, joined a rock band, moved to Hong Kong, shaken up their personal style, leapt from a plane, learned to tap dance, and more. What do they have to say? “I gained joy and confidence.” “I amazed myself.” “I regained my sense of wonder.” You could be saying those things, too. Whatever you’d love to do, Gumption will show you how to get to “I did it!” with laughter, tenderness, and a hefty dose of practicality.
