On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to Be Good by Elise Loehnen

challenging informative reflective medium-paced

4.25

This book exceeded the expectations I had going into it.  I think this is a really great read for anyone that wants to become more aware of the way the society we live in shapes us and molds us into these patterns and behaviors that are ultimately harmful to our wellbeing.  I wouldn't say this is a perfect book, but I think even the parts of the book where I paused or didn't fully agree were points where I think further discussion would be good.  Plus, one book can't cover it all, and the author seemed pretty aware that she is privileged and that there are people who are further disadvantaged than she is.
