Publisher's summary

"Warm, honest and true - A Woman Makes a Plan is full of insight as well as a good dose of humor, offering readers a lifetime of hard-won advice." (Diane Von Furstenberg)

The international supermodel shares personal stories and lessons learned from a life of "living dangerously - carefully"

Maye Musk is a fashionable, charming, jet-setting supermodel with a fascinating and tight-knit circle of family and friends - and is 71 years old. But things were not always so easy or glamorous - she became a single mom at 31, struggling through poverty to provide for her three children; dealt with weight issues as a plus-size model and overcame ageism in the modeling industry; and established a lifelong career as a respected dietitian, all the while starting over in eight different cities across three countries and two continents. But she made her way through it all with an indomitable spirit and a no-nonsense attitude to become a global success at what she calls the "prime of her life."

As everyone who follows her obsessively on social media knows, Maye is a fount of frank and practical advice on how the choices you make in every decade can pay off in surprising, exciting ways throughout your life. In A Woman Makes a Plan, Maye shares experiences from her life conveying hard-earned wisdom on career (the harder you work, the luckier you get), family (let the people you love go their own way), health (there is no magic pill), and adventure (make room for discovery, but always be ready for anything). You can't control all that happens in life, but you can have the life you want at any age. All you have to do is make a plan.

Must read

Yes, I picked up this book because it’s Elon’s Mum. What does it take to raise a genius? Apparently good genes but love and support brings genius to it’s full potential and realization. I’ve learnt about living dangerously carefully, taking chances, being a better mom, being a better person. Being fearless is stupid. Overcoming your fears is what makes you fierce. This woman is remarkable! She is intelligent, straightforward, beautiful inside and outside.
“A woman makes a plan” is refreshingly honest and humorous. A lovely read that endears you to the writer and her family.

What a wonderful book and fabulous women!

Right from the beginning you will be drawn into Maye’s adventures. This is one of few books I couldn’t wait to be done with an appointment and return to. I am motivated by her wisdom and so appreciative of her humor and humility. I am inspired by her advice in so many areas. Thank you, Maye!

Easygoing reading/listening

It was a perfect timing to start this book. Very interesting biography. It is not necessarily that everyone should follow the advices. But the book is certainly adds motivation to day to day life. Very recommended!
