*THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER*'A stunning, big and bold encyclopedia of how to live' LISA TADDEO'Astute, radical and utterly compelling' KATHERINE MAY'You will finish this book and immediately hand your copy over to your best friend' JENNIFER ANISTONWhy do women equate self-denial with being ‘good’?We congratulate ourselves when we resist the donut in the office breakroom. We celebrate our restraint when we hold back from sending an email in anger. We put others’ needs ahead of our own and believe this makes us exemplary. Journalist and podcast host Elise Loehnen explains that these impulses – often lauded as distinctly feminine instincts – are actually ingrained in us by a culture that reaps the benefits, via an extraordinarily effective collection of social mores:Lust. Gluttony. Greed. Sloth. Wrath. Envy. Pride. These so-called ‘deadly sins’ have been used by the patriarchy to control women throughout our history. For instance, a fear of gluttony drives us to ignore our appetites and an aversion to greed prevents us from negotiating a better salary at work. So, what would happen if we stopped trying to be ‘good’?Provocative and bold, On Our Best Behaviour is a probing analysis of history and contemporary culture that explains how women have internalised the patriarchy, and how they unwittingly reinforce it. By sharing her own story and the spiritual wisdom of other traditions, Elise Loehnen shows how we can break free and discover a path toward a more balanced, fulfilled way to live.

Fantastic product but only one arrived and NOT 12
My son attends a wonderful boarding school in Deerfield , Massachusetts. He was totally enjoying all that beautiful New England has to offer, when I received a frustrated email from him , that he was being eaten alive, every time he stepped outside into the great outdoors! Since I live thousands a miles away on a tropical island my self ,I knew that the only dependable solution would be OFF INSECT REPELLENT SPRAY.I have always used the unscented OFF from when my children were very young but when I saw that the OFF now also has Aloe Vera added ,I was thrilled ! Without hesitation ,I ordered the 12-60z bottles of Off Skintastic Unscented knowing that my son would soon have protection and relief from whatever was constantly biting him .And as always,with Amazon it arrived in a timely fashion but I thought that it was my error or something that ONLY ONE had arrived .We were both very disappointed and it was only today ,when I received a request from Amazon to review my most recent orders that I was positive that this error was the not mine by Amazons . Great Product but if you order 12, only 1 may come . Can I please have the rest of my order?

This bug spray is awesome! I wanted something more mild than the 'heavy duty' stuff. I'm not a big fan of DEET,but here in Florida, the mosquitoes are really bad and we need it when playing in the backyard. Though I wish I could find a waterproof spray, this is the next best thing. It keeps the bugs away the whole time we're out having fun. It goes on really easy, absorbs fast, and doesn't have a lingering potent smell. Overall, we're very happy with this spray.

It's not easy to use
It's not easy to use. I press the nozzle many times but it doesn't spray out.
