Summary

The New York Times best-selling author and renowned clinical psychologist teaches women how to transcend their fears and illusions, break free from societal expectations and rediscover the person they were always meant to be: fully present, conscious and happy.

A Radical Awakening lays out a path for women to heal their psychic wounds and prepares them to discover their own powers to help heal others and the planet. Dr Shefali helps women uncover the purpose that already exists within them and harness the power of authenticity in every area of their lives.

This is an eloquent and inspiring, practical and accessible book, backed with real-life examples and personal stories, that unlocks the extraordinary power necessary to awaken the conscious self. Dr Shefali will empower and inspire all women to uncover the person they always wanted to be: fully present, conscious and happy, by deconstructing the archetypes that still exist in society today, inspiring women to live authentically - and, importantly, elevate other women along the way.

Pop psychology self help book

Being interested in psychology I was intrigued when I heard about this book. It is written by New York Times best selling author Dr Shefali Tsabary who has appeared on the Oprah TV show and is known for having views on conscious parenting.
Narrated by the author, this is primarily a self help book aimed at empowering straight cis women and is based on the author's strong opinions rather than anything evidence / research based. There is plenty of discussion of biology versus culture and how addressing pain is painful and needs an emotional seat belt and how easy it is to become caught in a fear / blame ./ shame cycle.

Despite the fact that this book is mostly the type of pseudo science found in glossy magazines and not particularly radical, there comes a point in everyone's life when it is time to remove obstacles to live as your authentic self and this book will serve as a useful catalyst for those in search of inspiration to take the first step towards this.

It was okay

I'd say the book started off great. But i quickly found myself skipping bits because the book turned very boring and negative. Ended up regretting my purchase.

mixed feelings

I just finished to listen to this audio, usually it takes me a week to finish one but this one took me 9 months simply because eventhough there are good learnings i.e the chapter on the egos... this lady is just trying to impose her view of life as it was a universal one. This is quite disturbing coming from a 'psychologist'. My advice is to pick and choose what you think will help you and leave the rest.

not so great as I expected

the book starts off great but got so boring when she went on about divorce and then really confusing when she started talking about how humans are animals and sexuality. I'm an open minded person but this was so bizarre and no real solid explanation to her conclusions.

So many words yet so little content

I'm all for a self-help book however I returned this title a few minutes into Chapter 4. I'm not even sure I can review the few chapters I listened to as nothing really sparked my interest enough to remember it. From 3 and a bit chapters I gleaned that the author thinks all women are hiding their 'true self', that they will have to unlearn everything. The author seems to think women need to be told to be supportive of one another and that women attack and push comparisons on each other. Isn't that a bit of a reach? I'm always supportive of other women. She also seemed to imply (to paraphrase) that we shouldn't want botox and push ourselves to look better than other women as that will put unnecessary pressure on them and that we are Ok sagging and ageing. What if a woman wants to look good for herself? What if it makes her happy? Now she needs to feel bad because her wanting to look good makes someone else feel bad? I know that's probably not what she meant however I could see after 3 and a bit chapters that this book would not really offer anything of value to me. If it cannot grab my attention within chapter 1 then it's not going to be worth sticking with and she seems to be framing women as victims. Women aren't victims.
This seems to be a book for someone who is new to their self-help and development journey. For someone more confident and aware this isn't for you.

Takes to long to get to the point

Listening to Shefalis voice is soothing, but I feel the book could be shortened.
I found the content to be repetitive in parts, and may suit women who are very submissive or from East Asian background.
I’m 10 chapters in and I’m getting bored. I hope the second half becomes more interesting.

So refreshing

Empowering, deconditioning, wonderful. Dr Shefali has done it again. I hope everyone gives it a listen to decondition from society norms.
