4.6 . 27903 reviews

Short summary

Do you ever presume that every other person has their whole life in order while you have no hint of where your life is going? Assuming this is the case, Rachel Hollis has something to let you know: that’s a lie. Rachel Hollis is the founder of a super successful and popular lifestyle blog created solely for women. “Girl, Wash Your Face” contains harmful lies that Rachel Hollis used to believe, and you still might. The only truth is that your life is up to you, though most people find it hard to accept. She believes that the key to becoming a better version of ourselves is to recognize those universal lies that we come to believe about ourselves. Buckle up to relate with some of the lies and learn as she battles them with grace, support, courage, openness, and truth. With total confidence and strong persistence, “Girl, Wash Your Face” informs you of the best way to live with hustle and passion — and how to give yourself elegance without surrendering. You, and only you, are ultimately responsible for who you become and how happy you are. That’s the takeaway. ~ Rachel Hollis

first key point

The truth is that you are the only one in charge of how happy you are and who you become

Listen the first key point
00:00
00:00
You should accept that you can choose your happiness and you are in total control of your life. To start this process, you need to pinpoint and thoroughly destroy the lies that you made for yourself about your life.

You can’t become a better person without self–awareness, which originates from searching deep into your perspective about yourself. Do you believe that you are not smart enough? That you can’t find love? That you can’t succeed at anything? These are all harmful and devastating lies told by your family, the media, or society.
Only you have control over the way your life unfolds.
We can’t always discern what is true and false about ourselves because it turns into white noise after ringing in our ears for so long. We are bombarded daily with hateful narratives that we don’t even know it is there anymore. Once we identify the foundation of our problems and accept that we can conquer them, we can change our lives for the better.

At the beginning of Rachel Hollis’s career, she talked about every part of her life — from her negative emotions to postpartum depression and marriage problems. Once, she even posted a picture of stretch marks on her tummy online. Doing this, she wanted to be honest, sincere, and authentic.
Your life is supposed to be a journey from one unique place to another; it’s not supposed to be a merry–go–round that brings you back to the same spot over and over again. ~ Rachel Hollis
As Rachel Hollis revealed more and more about her life, she kept receiving notes from various women that needed advice for their problems. This inspired her to write a book about her struggles and how she dealt with those struggles. She shares how she took away the power from the lies that she made herself believe for long.

We will discuss some of the relatable lies in the following chapters.
second key point

You are wrong if you think that doing something else or living somewhere else will make you happy

The main gift of life is that we get another opportunity tomorrow. However, most women got a lot of wrong information — they believe that they have to give their best all the time or quit altogether. Life is meant to be lived, and you are doing yourself a disservice by simply playing catch–up.

Headway is the answer! No longer accumulating books I never read. With Headway, I initially chose the areas important to me such as productivity, time management, etc., and each day I'm provided several book summaries from which I devote 20 minutes or more each day reading. All of this on my phone! My life has improved with Headway. Truly my most useful app.

In today’s world, we rarely have time. Between our jobs, our families are social obligations, when do we have time to grow and develop ourselves? Headway is an excellent app that gives you that time it gives you those little snippets of information that you need to direct your focus in on your life. Headway gives you a chance to find out the meat of a book that you might want to purchase and read or listen to in-depth without wasting a lot of time trying to figure out is this book for me? I highly recommend the app.

I've gotten multiple books out of the library with the intent to read them, but always have a hard time finding the time. This app has helped me finally be able to get to them. Summarized, yes, and thank goodness too! Just short enough I can finish one on my way picking kids up from school/practice, or while I'm cooking dinner. I can't wait to listen to them over the summer when we visit the beach!

It amazed me! There is the possibility to highlight the most important points of each book and instantly translate unfamiliar vocabulary. With the ability to review the searched words. It's a great way to learn more about English as well. The price is great.

I’m enjoying what I’m learning on headway.each summary comes with quotes at the end which you can save to help you remember key points. You can listen or read, I’ve found that reading puts me to sleep before I can finish but the listening feature keeps me engaged and I can finish in a brief amount of time if not one session.

Exactly what I need! I always have booklist to read, but can't committed enough to finish/start bc of too much pages. Headway is really helpful and concise with their summary. What I love the most is that the essence of the book is well crafted, so I don't only read the key points, but also there's the story and how personality of the author still well shown through the summary. Well done!
