Do you have a favorite book that you refer back to, that you read when you need a pick-me-up, that you pull quotes from to inspire yourself? I certainly do and almost all of them are books from my childhood. <em>Alice&#8217;s Adventures\u00a0in Wonderland<\/em> by Lewis Carroll is one of my steady go-to&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/rivershare.polarislibrary.com\/search\/title.aspx?ctx=14.1033.0.0.3&amp;cn=1197883\" target=\"_blank\"><strong><em>What would Alice do? : Advice for the Modern Woman<\/em><\/strong><\/a> with a foreword by Lauren Laverne pulls quotes from Lewis Carroll&#8217;s <em>Alice&#8217;s Adventures in Wonderland <\/em>and its sequel, <em>Through the Looking-Glass<\/em> and matches them up with a wide variety of categories that all relate. Instead of\u00a0reading this\u00a0book cover to cover, I found myself flipping through\u00a0looking for quotes that\u00a0caught my eye.<\/p>\n<p>Crack open this book for advice from Alice on:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Being Inspirational<\/li>\n<li>Having a Bad Day<\/li>\n<li>Getting On at Work<\/li>\n<li>Dealing with Difficult Characters<\/li>\n<li>Taking Risks<\/li>\n<li>Saying What You Mean<\/li>\n<li>Minding Your Manners<\/li>\n<li>Keeping\u00a0Cool in a Crisis<\/li>\n<li>Being a Feminist<\/li>\n<li>Health and Safety<\/li>\n<li>Enjoying Food and Drink<\/li>\n<li>Being Brave<\/li>\n<li>Appearances<\/li>\n<li>Fun and Games<\/li>\n<li>The Value of a Good Education<\/li>\n<li>Growing Up<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Even though this book is marketed as advice for the modern woman, the quotes present inside, I felt, are not uniquely meant for just women.\u00a0The categories that Laverne chooses are full of helpful advice for everyone and the messages present everyone could benefit from.
