书籍介绍
Maye Musk at seventy-one is a fashionable, charming, jet-setting supermodel with a fascinating and tight-knit circle of family and friends. But things were not always so easy or glamourous--she became a single mom at thirty-one years old, struggling through poverty to provide for her three children; dealt with weight issues as a plus-size model and overcame ageism in the modeling industry; and established a lifelong career as a respected dietician, all the while starting over in eight different cities across three countries and two continents. But she made her way through it all with an indomitable spirit and a no-nonsense attitude to become a global success at what she calls the "prime of her life." As the twenty-and thirty-somethings who follow her obsessively on social media know, Maye is a fount of frank and practical advice on how the choices you make in every decade can pay off in surprising, exciting ways throughout your life. In A Woman Makes a Plan, Maye shares experiences from her life conveying hard-earned wisdom on career (the harder you work, the luckier you get), family (let the people you love go their own way), health (there is no magic pill), and adventure (make room for discovery, but always be ready for anything). You can't control all that happens in life, but you can have the life you want at any age. All you have to do is make a plan.
用户评论
a strong woman
People say it’s all common sense in this book, but nothing is short of extraordinary for a woman ahead of her time. Stories of unconventional, or sometimes ‘crazy’, strong women who keep pushing the boundaries, if not crossing the line, never fail to inspire me.
老爸极致有钱,老公极致有钱,儿子极致有钱。她就像一个被god故意skip的洼地,single mom 苦透苦透。经历精彩。文字不好。不像两个master+一个phd写的。毕竟年纪大了,不能苛责。况且elon也不像penn毕业的。
这本书的全球首发安排在乌镇,有幸在现场参与了采访工作。 南非的家庭暴力问题真的很严重,trevor Noah的妈妈Patritia和May Musk女士都是没有在痛苦中沉沦,反而昂扬向上活出自我的人,令人佩服。(有个好儿子也是让人羡慕啊)
A badass woman. Respect!
最近补读了原著体验无比丝滑,令我深刻地意识到我的英文水平只适合读一个模特写的书(没有恶意哈哈哈!)。我印象比较深刻的几个事情还是她喜欢冒险的父母,被家暴十年后重新振作以及考虑去加拿大的时候视察回来,15岁的女儿把她的房车家具全卖了等她签字……就太硬核了!
买纸质是我对书作者的最高敬意
读的第二本英文原版书,没有用任何艰深的词,读起来还是比较顺畅的。不过有时候她的遣词造句可能太过口语化,不是我过学的正式规范的那种,反而把我搞蒙了。本来我想打三星的,但是感觉里面多多少少也有些女性主义的意思,她教读者敢于冒险做自己最想做的事,趁早远离混蛋,以及最重要的,不要怕变老。考虑到她本身就是一个较为成功的年长女性生活榜样,我还是打了四星。
学语言而已
有被激励到!不看书只知道她是埃隆·马斯克的母亲,看了才知道作为一个独立的个体她也是毫不逊色的,完全拥有自身的光芒,甚至于她那敢自己开飞机到处旅游的父母比她和她的子女们都更让我心生敬佩!
