Synopsis

"There's nothing particularly easy about being a working mother... But there are some key things we can do to make it easier."

In our culture, the way we work isn't working. Our addiction to busyness and obsession with always trying to do more leads us to feel like we're always failing our families, our careers, our spouses, and ourselves.

We need to revolutionize the way we work. It's not acceptable to work ourselves to the brink of exhaustion, to constantly be "on-call" and checking our work e-mail around the clock.

How do we fix the system? The answer isn't some corporate policy. And it isn't "leaning in." It's a system within ourselves, in our daily work lives, and in our homes.

Because the only way to create a new system is to be it.

Instead of "leaning in," and "doing it all," entrepreneur and best-selling author Kate Northrup invites you to experiment with doing less. By doing less, paradoxically, you can have - and be - more.

In this book, you'll get the permission and tools to change the way you approach your life, and embrace living in tune with the cyclical nature of the feminine. By cutting out the extraneous busyness, you'll have more satisfaction and joy, and you'll let yourself be more often instead of doing all the time.

"This book will help free many women to fly into the destinies they were born for." - Dr. Shefali Tsabary, New York Times best-selling author

About this title

Review

In Do Less, Kate uses her signature, crystal clear wisdom to insist that we stop wearing busyness as a badge of honor and begin to claim our time, our peace, our lives. Then she shows us how. I inhaled Do Less and as I finished, I found myself breathing easier. Important book, perfect timing. (Glennon Doyle, founder of Together Rising and author of #1 New York Times bestseller 'Love Warrior')

Do Less had me from the very first page. Its message and method are game changers. Kate Northrup has written the new manifesto for how to claim your birthright of peace, health, and sanity in a world that teaches us just the opposite. This book is a must read for just about everyone. (Christiane Northrup, MD, New York Times bestselling author of 'Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom' and 'Mother Daughter Wisdom')

As a recovering doer and as a psychiatrist who has witnessed the grave consequences of a life dictated by masculine principles of achievement, I will go so far as to say this book is essential reading for any woman in the feminine reclamation process. (Kelly Brogan, MD, New York Times bestselling author of 'A Mind of Your Own')

From the moment I opened up Do Less, my heart was put at ease. As a new mother, I am so grateful for the road map Kate lays out to make women more happy and full of joy. (Vani Hari, New York Times bestselling author and founder of FoodBabe.com)

If you want off the 'I'm so busy/I'm so tired' train while making even more of an impact at work and at home, this is your ticket. (Melissa Hartwig Urban, Whole30 co-founder and CEO, New York Times bestselling author and single mom)

Do Less is here to help us honor our cyclical, nonlinear nature and redefine productivity. We're already wired with power and wisdom; rather than telling us what to do, Kate invites us to choose where to focus and when to rest, why to ask new questions, and how to nourish our intuition in order to arrive at the answers. Thank you, Kate, for this heartfelt, witty, and real map to doing less and loving more. (Elena Brower, author of 'Practice You and Art of Attention')

Kate Northrup's new book is a fabulous, paradigm-shifting guide for moms who are ready to bring rest and rhythms back into their lives - while thriving creatively and earning a living as well. (Tara Mohr, author 'Playing Big: Practical Wisdom for Women Who Want to Speak Up, Create, and Lead')

I inhaled this book because it illuminates a language about women and work that I've lived by without realizing it. I've never felt more validated or less alone in the way I do work as a woman in the world. (Meggan Watterson, bestselling author of 'The Divine Feminine Oracle')

Working moms need all the support they can get these days. This book is a practical, loving guide that helps women see their true worth, which changes the game for them financially, in relationships, and in every other facet of their lives. (Farnoosh Torabi, bestselling author of 'When She Makes More' and host of the So Money podcast)

Kate Northrup has written one of the most relatable, current, and savvy books for this new era of womanhood. For every mom who is trying to do it all without doing herself in, Kate has provided you with a trustworthy loving road map: do less! (Kimberly Ann Johnson, author of 'The Fourth Trimester')
