An unflinchingly honest and sometimes hilarious look at hustle culture, exploring the forces that have shaped a generation of overachieving women who now find themselves in search of a better way forward. Have you ever heard someone say, “I’m trying to make it work,” and thought, “That sounds like a great idea”? Probably not. Because the thing about trying is that it’s tiring; it’s labor. Anyone who has tried to have fun or to relax or to fall asleep knows this to be true. And yet: we exist within a culture that encourages us—often with a frantic urgency—to try, and try harder. We are told to try a different approach, try to do or be better, try to squeeze in a little bit more. This is especially true of women, who not only have to try harder than men to receive access to the same opportunities and resources, but who are also conditioned to try in the name of meeting others'' needs and expectations, often at the expense of their own well-being. In this galvanizing and illuminating read, Kate tackles hustle culture head-on, exploring the ways in which women are primed to become relentless strivers. From the workplace to motherhood, from relationships to “self-care”—no arena of a woman’s life is safe from the pressure to exceed expectations. This conflation of self-worth with achievement, she argues, is both toxic and counterproductive, as the qualities we most seek—happiness, meaning, purpose—are not earned but rather owned. Known for her astute cultural analysis and pitch-perfect observations of generational trends, Williams takes readers on a journey rooted in her own struggle to divest from an overachieving identity, including the realizations that came in the wake of a painful fertility challenge. Deeply felt, passionately argued, and often laugh-out-loud funny, this is a book for every woman who has ever wondered what would happen if she stopped trying so hard—and just let go.

Joséphine beschrijft de onvoorstelbare opkomst en nog ongelooflijker ondergang van een vrouw wier energie en ambitie in haar tijd slechts werden overschaduwd door die van haar man, Napoleon Bonaparte. Joséphine de Beauharnais (1763-1814) was een jonge weduwe die tijdens de Franse Terreur wist te ontsnappen aan de guillotine, en een van de beroemdste societyvrouwen van Frankrijk werd. Tot veler verbazing ging zij in op de avances van een kleine, zes jaar jongere, onbekende militair uit Corsica. Voor hem was zij de ideale opstap naar een grootse carrière; met haar aan zijn zijde werd hij de machtigste man van Europa, keizer van Frankrijk. Maar hun geluk zou niet lang duren. Het lukte het beroemdste echtpaar van hun tijd niet om een zoon en erfgenaam voort te brengen, zodat de keizer besloot Joséphine te verlaten. Joséphine is een intrigerende en meeslepende biografie over de grote liefde van de kleine generaal - een vrouw die nog steeds tot de verbeelding spreekt. Historica Kate Williams (1974) studeerde in Oxford en Londen, en verschijnt regelmatig op bbc en Channel 4. Ze publiceerde onder meer boeken over de jonge prinses Victoria, de wording van koningin Elizabeth ii, en Emma Hamilton, de minnares van Nelson. `In een kleine vierhonderd paginas schetst ze een beeld van een ambitieuze, gewiekste, spilzieke, niet erg betrouwbare levensgenietster. NRC Handelsblad `Een schitterende biografie. de Volkskrant ***** `Zonder ook maar een langdradige alinea weet ze op minutieuze wijze het verhaal te vertellen van de slavernij op Martinique, de Franse Revolutie en de Parijse beau monde. Het knappe is dat ze Napoleons opkomst, succes en zijn neergang beschrijft als decor van het verhaal over de keizerin. Historisch Nieuwsblad
