![]() ![]() While the lessons - about planning, communication, teamwork, knowing your limits and when to push them, and when not to - are valuable, I think the bigger idea is that all of her failures and triumphs are part of a learning process. And she shares what she’s learned along the way. Throughout The Gutsy Girl, Paul models adventure through her own life, from racing a boat she made of milk cartons down a river as a young girl, to white-water rafting and working as a firefighter as an adult. All together, the book is everything it promises to be: escapades for your life of epic adventures. The Gutsy Girl comprises author Caroline Paul’s stories of her own (mis)adventures, accompanied by short bios and quotes from other inspiring ladies, and helpful how-tos (make a compass outside, find the North Star, recognize animal tracks, etc.). While I would have read it to pieces as a kid, The Gutsy Girl also gave grown-up me a powerful reminder: bravery and resilience are skills. ![]() But I’m just as glad to have it in the world now. If ever there was a book I wished was around when I was little, it’s The Gutsy Girl. A guide for a life full of epic adventures. ![]()
