*THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER*'A stunning, big and bold encyclopedia of how to live' LISA TADDEO'Astute, radical and utterly compelling' KATHERINE MAY'You will finish this book and immediately hand your copy over to your best friend' JENNIFER ANISTONWhy do women equate self-denial with being ‘good’?We congratulate ourselves when we resist the donut in the office breakroom. We celebrate our restraint when we hold back from sending an email in anger. We put others’ needs ahead of our own and believe this makes us exemplary. Journalist and podcast host Elise Loehnen explains that these impulses – often lauded as distinctly feminine instincts – are actually ingrained in us by a culture that reaps the benefits, via an extraordinarily effective collection of social mores:Lust. Gluttony. Greed. Sloth. Wrath. Envy. Pride. These so-called ‘deadly sins’ have been used by the patriarchy to control women throughout our history. For instance, a fear of gluttony drives us to ignore our appetites and an aversion to greed prevents us from negotiating a better salary at work. So, what would happen if we stopped trying to be ‘good’?Provocative and bold, On Our Best Behaviour is a probing analysis of history and contemporary culture that explains how women have internalised the patriarchy, and how they unwittingly reinforce it. By sharing her own story and the spiritual wisdom of other traditions, Elise Loehnen shows how we can break free and discover a path toward a more balanced, fulfilled way to live.

I’m buying more!
Size: Twin, Color: White
The quality of this product is amazing! It looks fantastic, super fluffy and comfortable, keeps accidents from getting onto mattress. It works so well! And is so worth the cost, I’m buying more for the rest of the beds in our house.

Fits great and very comfortable
Size: Queen, Color: White
I purchased because my cat is older and I need something waterproof. It fit my queen bed and my deeper mattress that usually needs extra deep mattresses. It looks nice and went on the bed easily. I have not had her test its waterproof feather yet. I am relieved I do not need to worry or put pee pads down for her. I reas some people find it hot and hear a squeaky sound. I have not experienced either. The padding is a nice addition. I was surprised by the soft padding feature as I was not looking for it. The price was great. I did not want to spend a lot of money for something that did not need forever given my cat is older with kidney problems now. I will not remove it even if it is not needed anymore because I like the cushion. I have purchased the Bedsure brand for other items and always been pleased with their price and quality. I recommend this product

Perfect to stop leaks or stains
Size: Twin, Color: White
This is a wonderful mattress protector that gets the job done. It absolutely prevents stains from leaking through to the mattress. The only thing I don’t like that could be improved is the size and lack of snug fit. It moves a lot but still does the job and is not too hot. It’s very soft and comfortable. Would be 5 star if it had a snug feature or bands to fit under the mattress. Worth it for the price and is long lasting.
