Personal Review: A Life of Ones Own: A Guide to Better Living
Through the Work and Wisdom of Virginia Woolf by Ilana
Simons
Despite the fact that I am fairly unfamiliar with Virginia Woolf's work, I really
enjoyed this book. The author explains what Woolf's perspective on life is
through examples of Woolf's life experiences and with comparative
examples of the reality of the world we all live in today. The book is a great
blend of philiosophy, physcology and literature. Its a rewarding read that
will make you re-evaluate your own self-image and perspective of the
world around you.
