I am quite ashamed to admit that before reading her book, I only knew her as the mother of the most prominent figure of our time, Elon Musk, but Maye Musk is famous in her own right through her career as a nutritionist and model. Her parents were super intelligent, and she can obviously be recognized as the symbol of beauty and brains in today’s society. Reading her book, one can really understand how she was able to raise such successful children.

Maye Musk shares many insights into her approach to parenting, to work, and life in general. I am not saying it changed my life, but I know that I will take many of her words of encouragement with me for – possibly – as long as I live. Her book came into my life at a very difficult moment, and I feel like it did help me reset my mind a little bit. She does not want to force her opinions and world views on the reader, but seeks to give them another perspective, a helping hand, if you wish, that they can take if they feel the need to do so. Her voice is authentic and thus, her advice very relatable, easily acceptable. Her life really was full of adventures, but also of hardships that she successfully faced and conquered. For someone who only knew her for her famous son, Elon Musk, Maye’s story is not only inspiring but also very surprising! In her biography, A Woman Makes a Plan Maye Musk shares intimate details of her life while also giving advice for “a lifetime of adventure, beauty and success”.
