Sometimes in life you need a plan to set you in the right direction。 It does not matter what age you are when that plan goes into effect。 Maye Musk may have just turned seventy-one， but each year of her life seems to be getting better。 Maye is the mother of noted businessman Elon Musk。 Her two children， son Kimbal and daughter Tosca have had successful careers， learning much of their good business sense from Maye。 Maye became a supermodel， and she credits that with allowing her hair to go silv Sometimes in life you need a plan to set you in the right direction。 It does not matter what age you are when that plan goes into effect。 Maye Musk may have just turned seventy-one， but each year of her life seems to be getting better。 Maye is the mother of noted businessman Elon Musk。 Her two children， son Kimbal and daughter Tosca have had successful careers， learning much of their good business sense from Maye。 Maye became a supermodel， and she credits that with allowing her hair to go silver at age 59。 That was the start of her transition to cover girl and much more。 The path has not always been smooth。 Life has not been totally easy as evidenced by a former marriage to Errol。 He was manipulative， violent and controlling。 He made sure her life was a living hell。 He was jealous of everything she did。 The day she broke free from him， was the day she had more than her freedom。 She had her life back。 Maye has earned multiple Masters degrees， from universities in South Africa and Toronto。 She has helped clients in their quest for health and fitness， advocating good eating and living as prime goals。 Maye adds in her book she would rather have the notation “she was funny，” than “she was beautiful，” said about her。 A WOMAN MAKES A PLAN is an exceptional reference and self-help book， where she shares her recipe for good living， plus being able to overcome odds no matter at what stage of life you are in。 She says at the end of the book， “You have to decide for yourself when you want to be happy。” Maye admits she has lived with plenty and lived with nothing。 You never know what may come next。 It is her optimism that shines through in the book， an anthem for being the best you can be at any age。 。。。more

May Musk's book is a clear confirmation that a person can cope with all difficulties if he has the will to live and faith in his own strength， close people who can support and inexhaustible enthusiasm。 May Musk's book is a clear confirmation that a person can cope with all difficulties if he has the will to live and faith in his own strength， close people who can support and inexhaustible enthusiasm。 。。。more

Українське видання має деякі недоліки перекладу。 Сподіваюсь， у наступних тиражах помилки виправлять。 Загалом книга легка， з гумором， тут про все по трохи） Мей дуже цікава жінка， хотілося б почитати про неї щось більш об’ємне і детальне。

Fantastically written; a true page-turner。 Contains stories of resilience without redundancies in a manner that seems both seemly and captivating

Urge me to eat healthy and not to feel anxious of ageing。 Raw， vulnerable stories。 Yet funny and enjoyable。 Easy read。

Another easy-to-read book。 I also listened to the audio book。 Words are simple。 Key ideas:1。 Find the way to change when you don't feel happy。 Don't tolerate to be unhappy。2。 Persistence is key to success。3。 Be willing to try new things and don't easily say no。4。 It's never too late to start something。 5。 Dogs are helpers to find an excuse to leave a boring date。 You can say: "Sorry I have to go， I have to walk my dog。" Another easy-to-read book。 I also listened to the audio book。 Words are simple。 Key ideas:1。 Find the way to change when you don't feel happy。 Don't tolerate to be unhappy。2。 Persistence is key to success。3。 Be willing to try new things and don't easily say no。4。 It's never too late to start something。 5。 Dogs are helpers to find an excuse to leave a boring date。 You can say: "Sorry I have to go， I have to walk my dog。" 。。。more

A beautiful story！I really enjoyed reading about the ups and downs of Maye Musk’s amazing life。 She has some great tips on how to survive difficult circumstances while staying optimistic and she certainly has raised three wonderful children。

Definitely enjoyed reading this book。 It was very present and seemed like Maye is standing in front of me telling all these stories and advices。 Was very interesting to know also details about this fascinating family and turns out that Maye is also a very determined， hard working and strong woman。 She is never afraid to start over at any age and this really truly inspired me。

The author has been through a lot of challenges and ups and downs in her life。 I am very encouraged by the messages delivered in the book as a young woman （compare to the author）。 Now I am looking forward to ageing and hopefully as healthy and positive as her！

Not a deep book， it’s more like an interview or a talk show。 But I give five star， because I do appreciate that she wrote this book and talked about her life， her stories， and her thoughts。 It’s indeed very inspiring to see such a great successful woman has suffered so much for three decades！ She even felt that she couldn’t find happiness again during the dark times， but now she is actually more and more happy。 I guess the better people look in public， the more they suffered in many situations。 Not a deep book， it’s more like an interview or a talk show。 But I give five star， because I do appreciate that she wrote this book and talked about her life， her stories， and her thoughts。 It’s indeed very inspiring to see such a great successful woman has suffered so much for three decades！ She even felt that she couldn’t find happiness again during the dark times， but now she is actually more and more happy。 I guess the better people look in public， the more they suffered in many situations。 There is need to envy anyone’s life。 The more hardworking you are， the more lucky you tend to get。 The more difficulties you went through optimistically， the more likely you are going to be successful。 。。。more

Great feel-good can-do kind of book。 Inspiring story of a woman who stayed positive & pro-active no matter what happened in her life。 Although there's not much new in what she says， there's a lot in the compelling way she does it。 I specifically liked her attitude towards aging: "With every decade it only gets better"， with age you get more confidence because you've been through many things already Great feel-good can-do kind of book。 Inspiring story of a woman who stayed positive & pro-active no matter what happened in her life。 Although there's not much new in what she says， there's a lot in the compelling way she does it。 I specifically liked her attitude towards aging: "With every decade it only gets better"， with age you get more confidence because you've been through many things already 。。。more

I was so excited about this book but it was a total disappointment。 She has so many stories to tell and just passed through the interesting topics。 Everything was briefly touched upon， not adding much info。

Loved it！ Listening to Maye narrate the book is the absolute best thing - she talks about her life in such an authentic way， and I felt like she was sitting next to me on the couch and we'd both drink coffee。 It's not about advice， but about embracing life with ups and downs， with smiles and bruises。 About saying "why not？"， experimenting， taking chances and making the most of everything。 Loved it！ Listening to Maye narrate the book is the absolute best thing - she talks about her life in such an authentic way， and I felt like she was sitting next to me on the couch and we'd both drink coffee。 It's not about advice， but about embracing life with ups and downs， with smiles and bruises。 About saying "why not？"， experimenting， taking chances and making the most of everything。 。。。more

計劃，一般是預期在一段較長時間裡做的事情。然而，本書教導我們要享受當下，安心活好當下。把「計劃」的層次提升到只要活出自己、吃自己喜歡的東西、做自己喜歡的事情⋯⋯計劃的法則，只有一個！就是「對自己好」對健康有幫助的可以吃，不用刻意節食，而是要想想（計劃）怎樣才對自己的身心發展有幫助。不管年歲多少，忠於自己便可以活出自己計劃的人生

女性视角自传，关于女性被社会环境塑造的年龄羞耻，归罪于自身，不敢尝试和要求帮助都蛮有启发意义。最后一段大谈营养学，都是非常基础的通识，在我看来大可不必。不过如果确实陷在身材焦虑中被消费陷阱欺骗的女性，应该还是有用处的。

I really enjoyed the audible version of this little book narrated by the author， Maye Musk， filled with her down to earth practical advice。 Her accent and tone of voice made it even more special！ Maye Musk has had an amazingly interesting life and she's worked very hard。 She didn't just come out of nowhere and end up on a billboard in Times Square。 It took years of work and plodding and she's come through with a great spirit。 One thing I like in this book is her words about ruminating。 She is qu I really enjoyed the audible version of this little book narrated by the author， Maye Musk， filled with her down to earth practical advice。 Her accent and tone of voice made it even more special！ Maye Musk has had an amazingly interesting life and she's worked very hard。 She didn't just come out of nowhere and end up on a billboard in Times Square。 It took years of work and plodding and she's come through with a great spirit。 One thing I like in this book is her words about ruminating。 She is quite clear and honest that she wishes she'd not ruminated for so long on certain occurrences in her life。 Boy can I relate！ As a nutritionist by trade， Maye recommends real basic foods anyone can afford， and to stay away from anyone pushing expensive vitamins and quick weight loss plans。 I love that she says eat fruits and vegetables but if you don’t like Kale don’t eat it！ To look at her you would never think that she had any adversity in her life but she had more than most， including overcoming domestic abuse and obesity。 I enjoyed listening to this strong woman share her daily diet & exercise routines， inspirational stories and lessons learned。 。。。more

this book is nothing short of Maye Musk being real about her life journey， you’d think that being the mother of the richest man alive would have had a luxurious lifestyle; however， she has shown humbleness， kindness， family importance and every bit of her struggles to motivate you at any point of your life because she did not have it easy to get to where she is right now， more so being proud of the woman at the age of 71 and still gunning for her career path！ i have loved every chapter of it， no this book is nothing short of Maye Musk being real about her life journey， you’d think that being the mother of the richest man alive would have had a luxurious lifestyle; however， she has shown humbleness， kindness， family importance and every bit of her struggles to motivate you at any point of your life because she did not have it easy to get to where she is right now， more so being proud of the woman at the age of 71 and still gunning for her career path！ i have loved every chapter of it， not prying on her mishaps but i could totally relate to it。 Worth grabbing this book at any point of time！！ 。。。more
