Utterly Brilliant

I found this book uplifting, funny, inspiring and extremely thought provoking. I am now going to order a hard copy!! My challenge is to get my hugely over worked daughter to read it. I loved your reference to kindness throughout the book. Thank you Anya for your words of wisdom. Much love, Serena

*****

A brilliant book that will resonate with working mothers and give their partners a good insight into what's going on in their heads too.
Listening to "If in doubt, wash your hair" is like having a deep and meaningful conversation with your best and slightly more experienced friend, but in this case it's stylist British business Supremo Anya Hindmarch.
So much learnt and greatly enjoyed. I'm recommending it to everyone.

THIS IS SO BRILLIANT, GROUNDING AND REAL

I cannot recommend this enough. What a brilliant book and so well read. Anya is wise but real. I have separately bought the actual book so I can have it on my shelf and be reminded of her wisdom.

Really interesting

I found so much of this relevant to my life and really useful to apply. Lots of it was poignant to what I am going through right now and helped me take advice from what Anya has experienced

Pragmatic and enjoyable

Really enjoyed this book. Liked a lot of the tips and, although washing my hair isn't top of my list for feeling better, I totally get the principle!
Simple and achievable is the name of the game.
Thank you for putting yourself out there when it's not your natural way. 👍🏻

Heartwarming and motivational to read as a young mother

I am a 35 year old artist woman with two small children. We are in the thick of life as a family and it was great to hear her life story as well as her advices on organising one’s life. I found it very inspirational and supportive.
