Publisher's summary

How to Build a Better Life implodes the decades-long narrative that women should prioritize career above all else and provides a new path forward for women who would rather focus on family and build the balanced lives they crave.

So you’re tired of being single and would rather be married with children. Or perhaps you’re already a wife and mother, but you want to stop working and stay home with your kids—if only for a season.

Either way, you have no support for your desire to do so.

If you’re single, you’ve been told to put career front and center and that marriage and motherhood can wait. If you’re married, your family and friends—even your own husband!—want you to work full-time, despite the fact that you have young children at home.

It feels like everyone wants you to be a workhorse, but you just want to slow down. You want to live a simpler life that’s centered on family, not career. You want to raise your own babies, not put them in daycare. You want to live in your home, not use it as a place to just sleep and shower.

In How to Build a Better Life, relationship and life coach Suzanne Venker charts a new course for women who want to prioritize love and family and to build strong relationships at home.

In this book, you will learn:

• Why your femininity is a superpower
• How to date for marriage
• That you don’t need to be rich to have a baby
• How to live on one income
• Why “lazy girl jobs” can be a great choice for moms
• What no one told you about daycare

A call to arms, How to Build a Better Life will ignite a much-needed debate about the misplaced priorities of the modern generation. This guide is the antidote women need to reject the lies they've been fed by our culture so they can build the happier and slower-paced lives they crave.

Women Need To Hear This

This book is short and to the point, but the message is excellent! Women in our country are getting sick of the feminist lie that, “we can have it all”. We are suffering and our families are suffering greatly. Suzanne, explains that we don’t have to be miserable, but that it takes planning and change. Her roadmap on how to make these changes is so helpful and one that you won’t hear many other places. I highly recommend this book to women of all ages.

Truths that need to be heard

I really like the authors perspective, personality, way she reads, makes you feel like she is really there with you giving advice. Book is just the right lenght and leaves no information out. Thank you so much for this we all need it!

Thank You Suzanne!

Loved this listen as a new mom wanting to be home with my baby! Was so encouraging of the way I intuitively want to be. So funny how I still notice part of me trying to talk myself out of the perfectly healthy mothering instinct. Mid-listen, I sent this book to my younger sister as a graduation present as she gets her masters this spring. She has always wanted babies and family and I look forward to chatting about this book with her.

Suzanne knows realistically how life works. And why it is best to cooperate with it to get the best results.

I liked the way she made femininity appealing and natural while pointing out that some de-training may be necessary.

Recommending this book to all the women I know!!

This book is FULL of valuable knowledge that I think any women could glean from no matter her age or stage of life. The author lays out her points simply and with so much good research. I will be re reading this book ever year and recommending it to all the women I know.

What every women desires to hear

This book shaked me to my core.
Changed my life forever
Thank you thank you thank you

Absolutely enthralling to visualize the possibilities

This book is empowering for women that want to be women with options and a bright future filled with true fulfillment and happiness. I feel more equipped to boldly aim to acquire the life I want after listening to this book, which means working along the grain of my instincts and desires for marriage and children rather than trying to brainwash myself to believe I have to live a big “Girl Boss” life in order to be worth anything. I want an authentic life, and this book has certainly helped this 20-something year old woman confidently strive for that. I recommended Suzanne Venker to a friend in her late 30s and she felt the same way! Highly, highly recommend.
