Men are masters of deception, women are mistresses of disappointment: they constantly expose themselves, even though no one asked. The not-quite-perfect hairstyle, lack of expertise, mistakes made – instead of handling it confidently, they justify themselves and are the hardest on themselves. Bestselling author Hanna Dietz knows this well; she catches herself doing it time and again and understands just how much easier life would be if we were better at overlooking our mistakes and pretending to have everything under control. With great humor, she navigates through the female self-flagellation craze and shows how, through small acts of deception, we could not only be more successful but also calmer and happier.
