What Makes Women Happy

By Fay Weldon

Book Overview

A delicious treat of wisdom for better self-awareness and satisfaction. Tackle anxiety, envy, guilt, while giving in to sex, food, friends, family, shopping - and chocolate.

What makes women happy?
Nothing, for more than ten minutes at a time, so stop worrying.

In this new book, Fay Weldon offers wisdom gleaned from a remarkable life, a brilliantly successful career and a fair share of trouble. She explores what makes women happy, and what we can do to lead more rounded and desirable lives. Chapters contain sassy morals, illustrative and sympathetic stories, and a lot of frank advice to show women how to stop obssessing and feeling bad about themselves. Later chapters confront the four horses of a woman's apocalypse: despair, depression, isolation, and self-doubt.

A blend of philosophy, storytelling and self-help, this inspirational work shows Weldon at the peak of her creative powers, as brisk, stylish and entertaining as ever.

Great Christmas Gift for Women Friends.

Funny. True. Years ago my Mom explained behavior coming down to basic biology. At 46 I really understand that she was correct. Fay Weldon is so funny and so true in this book. Sometimes our behavior is dictated by nature, sometimes by nurture. Plan to give this book as a Christmas present to my best women friends.
