Unveiling the Power of Selfishness: Kerry Docherty’s Radical Journey to Truth and Liberation
Ever found yourself caught in a tussle where being called “selfish” feels less like an insult and more like a loaded accusation designed to clip your wings? Kerry Docherty’s memoir, Selfish: Unlearning, Reclaiming, and Telling the Truth, kicks off with just such a moment—sitting across from her husband in therapy, negotiating not just a salary but the tangled complexities of ambition, creativity, and identity in a family business. What does it really mean to be selfish? Is it a vice for women chasing their own dreams and a virtue dubbed “ambition” for men? This book doesn’t just ask these questions; it digs deep, weaving through the porous boundaries of personal growth, familial expectations, and the art of self-expression. Drawing from her struggles within the Flaherty clothing startup and her legal expertise, Docherty’s story is a raw, electrifying journey towards reclaiming her voice—and in doing so, she challenges us to rethink our own definitions of worth and courage. If you’re a creative soul yearning to break free from the cages of “shoulds,” this is a read that’ll stick with you long after the last page. LEARN MORE
