Published by Allen & Unwin

If you want to be inspired and empowered this is the book to get! Girlosophy is a book with eye popping, big full colored pictures and large texts of inspiring words, quotes and lessons. It is truly dedicated to the girl and the woman to help herself become a better person for herself and with others. I picked this book up at my friend's house and fell immediately in love with this book. In page after page, pictures of girls and women from different nationalities are in beautiful settings of nature, cultural exotic scenery and a variety of symbolic icons in lively colors, bringing out the unity, fun and happiness in life. Any reader will be able to identify with the variety this book offers. I ended up buying a copy for myself and is a great gift for any female relative or friend.

The book is sectioned in chapters titled: girl, life, purpose, love, beauty, healing, then moves into evolution with chapters on spiritual, awareness, growth spirit—the last chapter ending with—woman. An obvious evolution of the journey we take as females. It is a book filled with practical, spiritual advice for any girl to look inward within herself to be honest and true to her individuality. Girlosophy is a must have for any girl, from simple quotes "choose to be happy, you have the power" and "be mindful not mindless", to advice, "How do you find your true calling?" listing steps to start you off on journey to yourself. It also includes insight on understanding breakups and heartache to dealing with death being part of our humanity and life cycle, keeping it all in a positive light. The books' main goal—positive thinking! Author Andrea Paul has achieved an enlightening book that grabs hold of our imagination to be ourselves and to be our best.
