Get the Girls Out

A rousing, funny, straight-talking, inspirational and generally awesome book from social entrepreneur Lucy Bloom, part memoir, part life-lessons, which urges us all to find our courage, take joy in life and celebrate our extraordinary ordinariness…

'We are all ordinary. Every single one of us is an ordinary person who has a set of talents, opportunities, challenges and experiences to work with. Whether we turbo charge those into greatness or lie on the couch is usually entirely up to us … It is enormously motivating to think you're equally as ordinary as people who have had an enormous impact. You are just as ordinary as Richard Branson or Oprah Winfrey or Bill and Melinda Gates. We're just as ordinary and human as each other. How cool is that?'

Rousing, straight-talking, incredibly inspiring, funny and full-on - Lucy Bloom is one of a kind, and so is her book, Get the Girls Out. Rollicking, rude, brimful with joy and laughter, and written with a take-no-prisoners, bare-all honesty, Lucy wants us all to recognise our capacity for extraordinariness. Life does deal out unfair, sudden and shocking pain, loss and kicks to the vag - and Lucy has experienced her share - but in this book, what she wants us to focus on is how we can rediscover our courage, kindness, bravery, optimism and sense of fun. This book will make you laugh and cry and nod your head in recognition - and ultimately inspire you to do more, have more, be more.

'My deepest wish is that reading this book makes you want to do cool stuff, make plans, launch that business, pack your bags, shave your head, ride that horse, date that hottie, apply for that job, chuck that party - and, most of all, get your girls out.'
