520 |a Women are living with too much guilt. Across motherhood, careers, relationships, and beyond, we are powerfully socialized to feel guilty -- for not doing enough, for doing too much, for putting ourselves first. Often without realizing, we end up making decisions based on what we think we should be doing instead of what we actually want and need. Why is guilt so powerful? And what does a guilt-free life look like? For over a decade, psychiatrist, Jennifer Reid, MD, asked herself these very questions as she worked with hundreds of highly functioning, successful women otherwise burdened by guilt. In Guilt Free, she helps us understand and dismantle its roots in order to access more joy, agency, and purpose in our lives. --  |c Page 2 of cover.
