On Our Best
Behavior
Do you yearn for a community of women who are also ready to learn more about how we are unknowingly conditioned and how this impacts us? Introducing "On Our Best Behavior" Luminary Book Circle: a transformative book study for women who are ready to pull back the curtain and take a good look at the hidden norms keeping us stuck.
Inspired by Elise Loehnen’s book "On Our Best Behavior,” this isn’t just a book study. This is a journey of awakening, a burning exploration that leads to collective activation. This book examines the unwritten social rules and behavioral expectations placed on women. The book explores how women are conditioned to prioritize likability and conform to various behavioral standards, such as:
- Being nice and accommodating
- Appearing effortlessly perfect while hiding effort
- Managing others' emotions and comfort
- Suppressing sexuality, sensuality, anger, and strong opinions
- Maintaining impossible beauty standards
- Being constantly productive and helpful
Loehnen argues that these internalized rules and expectations create psychological burdens for women, impacting their personal and professional lives. The book combines social science research, cultural analysis, and personal narratives to examine how these behavioral codes developed and their ongoing impact on women's lives as well as how men are impacted. She also discusses ways women can recognize and challenge these restrictive social rules.
The book aims to help women understand how these unspoken rules shape their behavior and offers strategies for breaking free from constraining social expectations while maintaining authentic relationships and professional success.
