Find Your Unicorn Space

Reclaim Your Creative Life in a Too-Busy World

Publisher's summary

From the New York Times best-selling author of Fair Play comes an inspirational guide for setting new personal goals, rediscovering your interests, cultivating creativity, and reclaiming your Unicorn Space.

With her acclaimed New York Times best seller (and Reese’s Book Club pick) Fair Play, Eve Rodsky began a national conversation about greater equality on the home front. But she soon realized that even when the domestic workload becomes more balanced, people still report something missing in their lives - that is, unless they create and prioritize time for activities that not only fill their calendars but also unleash their creativity.

Rodsky calls this vital time Unicorn Space - the active and open pursuit of creative self-expression in any form that makes you uniquely YOU. To help listeners embrace all the unlikely, surprising, and delightful places where their own Unicorn Space may be found, she speaks with trailblazers, thought leaders, academics, and countless real people who have discovered theirs everywhere - from activism to artistic endeavors to second careers.

Rodsky reveals what researchers already know: Creativity is not optional. It’s essential. Though most of us do need to remind ourselves how (and where) to find it. With her trademark mix of research-based, how-to advice and big-picture inspirational thinking, Rodsky shows you a clear path to reclaim your permission to have fun, manifest your own Unicorn Space in an already too-busy life, and unleash your special gifts and undiscovered talents into the world.

“Teaches us to prioritize time for things that fill us up...essential.” —Vanity Fair

Very Hetero

Lots of good ideas in here but it was very bias towards heterosexual couples. I would have liked her interview some same sex families with kids. Long winded at times yet still with the read if you’re struggling with carving out time for yourself.

This book is geared towards mothers

I think this author has good information but it’s not geared for everyone so I would say the description is very misleading. I could’ve relate

Just amazing!!!!

Came to me in the perfect moment of my life, in the middle of a dramatic life change and it gave me te inspiration to go after my dream of making mom’s lives more fulfilling through my coaching and setting an example for my boys to go after their dreams too! A must read for EVERY woman!!

The case for carving out the time to pursue what makes you interested and interesting!

There is no better feeling than that "lit up" feeling when you do something that matters to you, brings joy to your world, and gives you meaningful connection to your community. in a world full of to dos, obligations, and distractions, it's easy for time to slip by and realize you've lost that part of yourself. Eve has created a passionate work to make the case that's it's never to late to rediscover, reconnect, and find your Unicorn space. Through hundreds of interviews, and utilizing science based research from experts in a variety of fields, Eve makes a tremendous case for not just the desire, but the need and beneficial impact to individuals, communities, and the world of claiming this space. A must read!

a must read for women of my generation

from start to finish I felt this book was speaking to me. a mother going through a pandemic that feels that she has lost herself. I have found my sparkle through this book. must read for my generation!

Very inspiring

She gives a lot of examples and seems like she’s in my head when describing the life of moms and wives.

Amazing concept

I loved this idea of creating unicorn space. As a ever driven person I find that sometimes there just isn’t anything to look forward to be all the thing I’ve over scheduled for myself. Finding so unicorn space is helpful to really have some me time and discover who I am as a creative person again.

A great concepto too much focused on maternity

I liked it… and concepts are good , but too tight to the maternity crisis and hassles. All
Human beings need a unicorn space and the pursuit of their own purpose in life. The book should be named the unicorn space of mothers … in this case..

I needed this book this year!

Insight I didn't know I needed as a Professional, partner and parent. I'm ready to get back to creating and sharing. 💖

Fantastic and Inspiring!

I absolutely loved this book. Would recommend to anyone interested in reigniting their creative spark!
