MAMASTE

Similar to 5 Love Languages, MAMASTE outlines the 5 major parenting styles so moms can find a style of motherhood that feels true to them – while discovering qualities they want to develop and grow, and learning how to relate to other types of moms.

It’s like a fun personality test and advice book rolled into one (complete with yoga poses and meditations for each type), and the perfect antidote to books like Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mom or even Bringing Up Bebe, which preach only one type of motherhood and create guilt and shame for those who don’t agree. The book is organized so moms can instantly identify with and relate to each “type,” and offers a uniquely holistic approach to understanding the world of motherhood, which too often feels unnecessarily confusing and full of judgment. It also taps into three major trends driving the zeitgeist – wellness and self-improvement, women’s solidarity, and celebrity motherhood – in a way no other parenting book has done before.
