From Library Journal
Psychologist Ross first published this book in 1982, with a subsequent edition in 1985 and a related cassette and video in 1983 and 1988. After her death last year, her daughters used her notes and some additional interviews to create this final version. Ross opposed the "scarcity principle"-the idea that there is never sufficient money, love, sex, power, etc. to go around-that seems so thoroughly ingrained in our competitive society. Instead, she encourages women to think in terms of prosperity, to be open to the opportunities, alternatives, and resources that surround them, if only they will see them. This book provides specific suggestions for overcoming fear of failure, taking responsibility for managing money, finding balance in relationships, and developing self-awareness and direction. Although a few of the passages reflect the earlier era from which some of this material derives, much of her advice seems as sorely needed as ever in the 1990s. Recommended for public libraries.

Review
Many women are uncomfortable with personal success, internalizing underlying social messages that women should not be successful and independent. Ross shows women who to overcome these underlying messages, from defining prosperity and understanding goals and desires to blending career and home aspirations to achieve fuller lives. -- Midwest Book Review
