Book Reviews of Beyond Motherhood: Choosing a Life Without Children
Book Review: good but not great
Summary: 3 Stars
This book definitely put some good perspective on living childless, and helps outline the emotional journey of making the decision to live a fulfilled life without children, but I felt it could have been better, and ended up wanting more from the book. I agree with a prior review that relating to these extraordinary, artistic people was sometimes difficult, and I feel many of them did make the decision to live a childless life for purely selfish reasons. I also felt the book suggested that most people who choose not to be parents are defective or incapable in some way, and are better off or more balanced without children. I personally disagree with that sentiment, and hope that most people who choose not to have children do so because they have made a rational decision to go in a different direction with their lives. Despite my negative comments the book was worth reading if you are trying to decide whether or not children are for you.
