Wander Woman: How High-Achieving Women
Find Contentment and Direction
by Marcia reynolds, Psy.d
M
arcia Reynolds, Psy.D., the author of
Wander Woman: How High-achieving Women Find Contentment and Direction
(Ber- rett-Koehler Publishers, June 2010), is a master coach, cele-
brated author, and professional speaker. Turns out, she can write pretty
compelling self-help books, too. In
Wander Woman
Reynolds identifies
five stress-inducing assumptions that many women tend to make, from
“there is a right answer and it is mine” to “I have to be great at every-
thing I do” and a few choice others in-between.
What is interesting about the
book is that it helps a Type “A” per-
sonality, who may have ingested a
whole lot of “you can be anything
you work at” in her life to under-
stand how to deal with, well, the
imperfections of life, without feel-
ing like somehow she’s failed. A
cross between self-help book and
analytical prose, Reynolds in-
sights in
Wander Woman
will
stick with you long after you put
down the book.
