Find Your Unicorn Space: Reclaim Your Creative Life in a Too-Busy World
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
Description
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. With her trademark mix of research based, how-to advice and big-picture inspirational thinking, Rodsky shows you a clear path to reclaim your permission to have fun, manifest your own Unicorn Space in an already too-busy life, and unleash your special gifts and undiscovered talents into the world.

October 25, 2021
Overburdened women are issued a “permission slip” to explore their creativity in this energizing invitation by Rodsky (Fair Play) to pursue passion projects. Much of the guide deals with how to carve out time for such endeavors, which she terms “the unicorn space.” Rodsky helpfully breaks down common obstacles, both external and self-imposed (key is “learning to say no”), and reminds readers, “You won’t find untouchable space and time... you have to assert and create it.” She takes aim at the guilt-driven sense of constant obligation people often feel and offers concrete tips for enlisting the help of partners in assigning equal time for individual pursuits. She goes on to detail the process of creative exploration, broadly defined as anything that piques curiosity and fulfills personal values. While this brand of creativity boosterism is not especially novel, what resonates are the challenges to reconnect to one’s values and dream big. The stated audience is gender inclusive, but the takeaways will be particularly relevant to women raising children while balancing other commitments. Whimsical design details and plentiful stories round out an attractive package. It would make for a welcome gift passed around the late-night PTA crowd. Agent: Yfat Reiss Gendell, YRG Partners.
