Publisher's Summary

This is a book for working women and mothers who are ready to release the culturally inherited belief that their worth is equal to their productivity, and instead create a personal and professional life that's based on presence, meaning, and joy. As opposed to focusing on "fitting it all in", time management, and leaning in, as so many books geared at ambitious women do, this book embraces the notion that through doing less women can have - and be - more.

The addiction to busyness and the obsession with always trying to do more leads women, especially working mothers, to feel like they're always failing their families, their careers, their spouses, and themselves. This book will give women the permission and tools to change the way they approach their lives and allow them to embrace living in tune with the cyclical nature of the feminine, cutting out the extraneous busyness from their lives so they have more satisfaction and joy, and letting themselves be more often instead of doing all the time. Do Less offers the listener a series of 14 experiments to try to see what would happen if she did less in one specific way. So, rather than approaching doing less as an entire life overhaul (which is overwhelming in and of itself), this book gives the listener bite-sized steps to try incorporating over two weeks!

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

NOT JUST FOR MOTHERS

I enjoyed this EPIC listen over the span of just FOUR days! I found myself coming back to it while walking, driving, cleaning, working, etc. Thank you Kate Northrup for speaking your truth so that I may feel more relaxed living mine aligned with my true needs. Awesome book and so necessary for every woman ever! READ THIS BOOK. It couldn’t have come up for me at a better time. So grateful.

Loved this!!!

I am a self employed mom of 3 very busy kids and always find myself struggling to keep up. I am not alone and I don't need to be struggling. This was such an easy listen full of Ah-ha moments. Time to take control of the things that matter most to me and kiss the thing that don't...Goodbye.💗

A wake up call for all us busy ladies

I loved this book. I was feeling very overwhelmed and unbalanced. I listened to this book each day while driving into work (45 min commute). This book spoke to me and this book pushed me in gear to make a change. I changed my hours to part time. Changed my role within the organization (from Operations Manager to Sales Presenter). Negotiated remote work when otherwise not required at an event or clients. So now I can focus on my personal business, utilizing the hours "off" as my time to focus on the business, while being there for my family, and being able to predict how I might feel as each week goes on and I plan as best I can around that :). I recommend this to anyone who is busy and needs help!

Hated the beginning, loved the end!!

Was really struggling through the first 1/3 of the book, it talks a lot about your cycle and your energy related to that. Seemed like it could be a much shorter segment, and I wasn’t really into it. However the book really turned around somewhere in the middle, it went from kinda woo whoo to very practical and solid advice. I loved all the life examples and heard new perspective on doing less that I really identified with. So I did a 180, I definitely recommend this book and think it’s a great read (also there’s a lot related to motherhood but I don’t have kids and still felt it was applicable). You should get it!
