Lighten Up on Yourself

I am not Elizabeth Gilbert's biggest fan.  I don't dislike her, but I've got to tell you, her book "Eat, Pray, Love", the major bestseller, underwhelmed me.  I didn't really like it.  And I LOVE that sort of spiritual/personal memoir genre.  I read a ton of them every year.

I did really like the talk she gave on thinking creatively for TED.

I am enjoying (to some extent anyway) the audio book of her more recent memoir, "Committed".

But I really liked this article that I came across this morning, advising women everywhere that perhaps they can't be superwoman, and to maybe lighten up on themselves.
