Summary
Electrifying lessons in power， influence and persuasion to equalise women in an unequal world， from former dominatrix and nun turned sought-after coach
Kasia Urbaniak spent 17 years studying to become a Taoist nun。 To foot the bill for her studies， she worked as a high-paid （and extremely successful） dominatrix in dungeons around New York City。 What she learned in these two wildly different settings has turned into her life’s work。
UNBOUND brings Urbaniak’s unique teachings for women on speaking power， persuading others and navigating conflict to a mainstream audience for the first time。 Part polemic， part practical， it opens women’s eyes to why they frequently find it so difficult – personally， professionally and socially – to raise their voices， why they freeze in challenging circumstances and what they can do to change this。 Too often women find themselves in the role of ‘sub’ when they need to be more ‘dom’ – in short they are paralysed by their Good Girl Syndrome and a deep-seated need to please everyone and anyone except themselves。
UNBOUND shows women how to cut through layers of self-censoring and self-doubt to direct and command attention so they can express – and get – what they really think， feel， need and want。

Unbound is a brilliant， entertaining， treasure trove of well-organized information， presented in a way that is immediately applicable to everyday life。 This book is generous， tender， and humorous。 The tone is inclusive and non-blaming。 Anecdotes illustrate power dynamics and provide inspiration while making the book fun to read。 This one gets my highest recommendation possible。
