Gluttony. Greed. Sloth. Wrath. Envy. Pride.These so-called deadly sins have shaped how women relate to their bodies (gluttony, lust), limit their ambition (greed, pride), and suppress anger and truth (wrath). This is not just theory – its a system that still influences how women behave every day. On Our Best Behaviour offers a new path – one where we build a life rooted in self-trust, autonomy and emotional freedom.’A guide to liberation and a return to the authentic feminine self’ GABOR MATÉ ’Brilliantly reframes our toxic cultural programming’ LORI GOTTLIEB ’This is a really important book’ CHELSEA HANDLER
