Two Kates. I was getting really confused there. lol As soon as I saw Bonnie Fuller's name in the byline, I rolled my eyes. But the book still might make good reading if only to scoff at it. Whoa.

As soon as I saw Bonnie Fuller’s name in the byline, I rolled my eyes. But the book still might make good reading if only to scoff at it.

I encourage it. Life does require choice, sacrifice and hard work to hold everthing and everyone together. The thing about Fuller than differentiates her from those of us with real lives is that she consider celebrity gossip, going to fashion shows and telling women how to spend their non-existent liesure time, well, work. I guess the cosmetic companies who buy ad space in the magazines she edits will be wondering where to sell their products since the main shill doesn't have time for that sort of pampering.

They act as if life doesn't require choice and sacrifice and that it's perfectly possible to be everything to everyone at all times. Worse, they make it seem like all you need to achieve all that is your own dedication and efforts ("you can do anything you put your mind to") so when you almost inevitably fail to achieve the same, it's something to blame on your own personal failings rather than anything larger or systematic. And that's my rant of the morning. I have not read this book, so I really shouldn’t comment, but I am of the mind that most of those sorts of books do more harm than good.
