When you raise a girl who likes herself everything else follows. She will strive for excellence because she has faith in her ability to achieve it and the confidence to pick herself up. She will nurture her physical and mental health because it's natural to care for that which you love. She will insist on healthy relationships because she believes she deserves nothing less. She will be joyful and secure, knowing that her greatest friend and most capable ally is herself. Raising Girls Who Like Themselves details the seven qualities that enable girls to thrive and arm themselves against a world that tells them they are flawed. Packed with practical, evidence-based advice, it is the indispensable guide to raising a girl who likes herself. Free of parental guilt and grounded in research, Raising Girls Who Like Themselves is imbued with the warmth and wit of a mum and dad who are in the same parenting trenches as you, fighting for their daughters' futures.

Kasey ist Anfang dreißig, als die Frauenärztin ihr eröffnet: Wenn sie ein Kind möchte, bleibt ihr nicht mehr viel Zeit. Bisher waren ihr der berufliche Erfolg und die Unabhängigkeit wichtiger, aber auf einmal beginnt Kaseys biologische Uhr unüberhörbar laut zu ticken. Überall sieht sie süße Babys und glückliche Eltern. Wie wichtig ist es, eine Familie zu gründen? Und muss sie dafür wirklich alles aufgeben? Gemeinsam mit ihrem Freund beschließt sie, sich auf das Abenteuer einzulassen. Doch schwanger zu werden ist gar nicht so leicht wie gedacht!

A memoir that shows how the desire for a baby can drive people to the brink of insanity, the logistical challenges of ovulating and trying to conceive on a longhaul flight, the indignity and despair of IVF and the price of buying sperm on the Internet.

This memoir will make you question our definition of the "perfect life", laugh at the absurdity of the modern workplace and be warmed by the story of a friendship. Kasey Edwards has everything she's always wanted: a successful career and the lifestyle and assets to match. But she's empty and uninspired and doesn't want to go to work. Ever again. Terrified that she'll spend the rest of her life wearing pinstripes and pretending to care about 'adding value', Kasey embarks on a journey to rediscover passion and purpose in her life and work. We follow her on a journey of self-discovery as she looks for meaning in a puppy's eyes, begs her gynaecologist to cure her existential crisis, dabbles with the Law of Attraction and braves ten days of silent meditation. Meanwhile, her best friend Emma, who also never wants to work again, concentrates her search in the fields of casual sex and vodka shots.
