From the New York Times bestselling 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 bestseller 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 readers embrace all the unlikely, surprising, and delightful places where their own Unicorn Space may be found, she speaks with trail blazers, 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.

Run don't walk to get this book

"Creatively is not optional" I was blown away from the concepts and examples in this book. Eve Risky knows of what she speaks. If she doesn't, she finds the answers whether it be from the man who discovered the wreckage of The Titanic or her own children, she drills in until her own curiosity is satisfied. My copy is full of underlines and post it flags. Yours will be too. This is a book I can't praise any higher. Do yourself a favor and read it. Highly Recommended 5/5

Inspirational

This is a great New Years read. It will get you up and off the metaphorical couch. I am not a huge self-help book person. I’ve probably said this before but I read to forget about my problems and self-help books just make me think more about them. Ha! The author uses the term Unicorn Space to describe time a person spends developing their individual interests and how that benefits their overall health and happiness. The book goes through a lot of research to show how beneficial it is for everyone to have this and then maps out strategies for implementation. I plowed through this in like three days. That is unusual for me to get through a non-audiobook that fast. I was more motivated than usual because this book really resonates with me. I have four kids ages 18, 15, 8, and 4. I have been a stay-at-home-mom for most of that time. I wouldn’t change that for anything. I have loved it. However, with the gaps in their ages I have had little ones for soooooooo long. Enter Covid. Where I was already tired and burnt out then instantly everything got a lot harder. I am more than ready to open up different chapters of life to supplement what I have been doing for what seems like an eternity. I have been reviewing books for a few years now and I think this is the beginning of my Unicorn Space. I have a next step on how to expand what I am already doing and will hopefully add some more facets to my life over this next year. Thanks to @netgalley and @penguinrandomhouse for an advanced copy of this.
