A Woman Makes a Plan
By Maye Musk
Penguin Books 2020
Her son is making all the headlines but it’s this mother who can hand out some spectacular advice for raising children drawing from her own experience.
And she does. The mother of Elon Musk and two other very successful offspring gives stories of her own experience from the days when she was a youngster and her very brave, gutsy and adventurous parents took the family camping in the desert to the present day when this very attractive septuagenarian is still doing the unusual, including modeling for the fashion industry.
The paperback is a quick read, with all 205 pages giving you a glimpse into both the good and bad times in this woman’s life, all with the intent of having the lessons she learned the hard way make similar catastrophes and changes in the reader’s life a bit easier.
Because her father taught her to Live Life Dangerously…But Carefully, Musk knew how to cope with life; knew how to bear the abuse and insults of a cruel husband until she split from him and knew how to teach her own children that life isn’t always easy and certainly isn’t what you expect it to be.
Musk means the book to show women in particular, men if they want to learn, that while you cannot control everything that happens, you can learn to adjust, challenge, change, and live a happier and more fun-filled life …if you have a plan.
The book highlights her plans, many of which presented challenges of their own, but all worked out to her advantage and her success.
It’s a great read, great ideas, and a lot of the basics on which to start that plan for a happier life….stay active, mix with happy people, take time to enjoy the sunrise, and eat well….. it all works.
