Anne Morrow Lindbergh's Gift from the Sea is one of those books you're supposed to love. As a woman, I'm supposed to melt at the thought of it. It's soothing and inspiring, right?
I'm only a few chapters in, but so far the statements are vague and I'm more concerned about the sand fleas that must be crawling out of Mrs. Lindbergh's marine decor than I am about gleaning advice from seashells. The only complaint I've heard from others seems to be that the book is outdated and not feminist enough. I have no problem with things that are outdated, but I fear I'll finish this "inspiring" book without gaining any useful insights.
