Be Your Own Windkeeper Updated | Book

For the single woman, or the woman stuck in a relationship with a man who refuses to turn off "Deathtrap" on movie night, this book is a revelation. It offers a vocabulary for frustration that many didn't know they had. It empowers you to say "No" and to mean it, even if that means kicking your unemployed boyfriend out of your apartment.

Dr. Moyer’s thesis is deceptively simple. She posits that women possess an internal "wind"—a metaphor for autonomy, spirit, and emotional energy. Society, and men in particular, act as "wind-takers." They diminish us, trap us in emotional grids, and leave us windless. The book is a guide to closing the shutters of your soul, lighting the ceremonial candles, and keeping that wind for yourself. book be your own windkeeper
