Find Your Unicorn Space
ByPublisher Description
From the New York Times bestselling author of Fair Play comes an inspirational guide for setting new personal goals, rediscovering your interests, cultivating creativity, and reclaiming your Unicorn Space.
With her acclaimed New York Times bestseller (and Reese’s Book Club pick) Fair Play, Eve Rodsky began a national conversation about greater equality on the home front. But she soon realized that even when the domestic workload becomes more balanced, people still report something missing in their lives—that is, unless they create and prioritize time for activities that not only fill their calendars but also unleash their creativity.
Rodsky calls this vital time Unicorn Space—the active and open pursuit of creative self-expression in any form that makes you uniquely YOU. To help readers embrace all the unlikely, surprising, and delightful places where their own Unicorn Space may be found, she speaks with trail blazers, thought leaders, academics, and countless real people who have discovered theirs everywhere—from activism to artistic endeavors to second careers.
Rodsky reveals what researchers already know: Creativity is not optional. It’s essential. Though most of us do need to remind ourselves how (and where) to find it. With her trademark mix of research based, how-to advice and big-picture inspirational thinking, Rodsky shows you a clear path to reclaim your permission to have fun, manifest your own Unicorn Space in an already too-busy life, and unleash your special gifts and undiscovered talents into the world.

“I mean…I’m reading this book in my free time for a book club with friends that I attend regularly every month. It may not be “creative” but reading is my unicorn space. All that to say I didn’t really glean any life changing principles from this book. I did think it was a concept I wanted to share with my husband but then the book got really anti-man for a bit so decided not to share with him. It was extremely wordy, repeating things frequently, and didn’t feel super relatable.”
“Waaaaaayyyyy too long. I like the idea of everyone pursuing their creative interests. But also… it’s hard to take someone seriously when they pick up the phone at the end of a 2 week work trip abroad to tell their husband who’s been at home with the kids they’ll be staying 2 more days for fun. I’m sorry but what? If the shoe was on the other foot we’d be screaming “that man is entitled and has no respect for his wife” and it would be true. I also wish it had more practical advice rather than broad sweeping concepts because it leaves you thinking “yep that sounds great but now what?””
“A good read for needing a push to turn to reflect on my creativity, which is what the book intends to do, however in saying this it felt quite repetitive. I could zone in & out and not feel like I'd missed anything super important. Massive focus on motherhood, which the author is, but sometimes felt left out because I am not. Overall, decent read.”
“Honestly, there was nothing new or interesting in this book. I got about a quarter of the way through and I gave up. It felt like a chore to read.”
