IQ "'As black women, we know from early childhood that we are going to be discriminated against. It is a fact that runs through most of our lives. So when we get to corporate America, there are no surprises for us. White women, however, are in shock'. In this book, Sheryl writes that she graduated from college believing that equality would be achieved in our generation. I was raised to know we still had a long way to go."

I loved this. Ultimately, very helpful. 2015 will be the year i Lean In.
I think this book is a valuable starting point for people who want to raise their awareness about the existing subconscious gender-based biases. It is not easy to to understand the depth of a problem without ever having experienced, something that is at least a bit similar, yourself; this might be an obstacle to men in the case of subjects relating to gender-based discriminations. Instead of jumping to the problems directly, the author takes you to a personal journey of her life after graduation...
The added content is ok but definitely seems like it was put there to combat some of edge original criticisms of the book. While I did enjoy the added content as a soon-to-be graduate I didn't feel like there was a whole lot of game changing stuff in there. If you've never taken on a job hunt before it could be really great, but as someone who has worked her way though college I felt it left something to be desired.
Getting this book because I follow Rosianna Halse Rojas on Youtube & she made a wonderful argument for it...as well as contributing to it.
I love Sheryl Sandberg! I'm going to have to buy this book so I can highlight just about every page. I have not read the original Lean In, which was an instant must read. This edition adds some career advice for graduates and personal anecdotes from prominent female leaders.What I found completely fascinating about the book is how Sheryl takes every type of behavior, breaks it down and shows the ultimate consequence. For instance, don't quit your job until you are actually ready to leave. If you...
4 stars for the original Lean In, 2 for the extra material in this edition (more on that later). Sandberg talks in a down-to-earth way about the underrepresentation of women in positions of power, and uses statistics, studies, and personal anecdotes to give women advice on how to avoid holding themselves back in the workforce. I was worried that she’d overstate women’s abilities and responsibilities to affect change, but she does a great job of acknowledging systemic problems while encouraging w...
I wasn't certain if this book would feel relevant to me, since I have never had the ambition to climb any corporate ladders, but it did. The book is a poignant (and often humorous) reminder that sexism and glass ceilings still exist, and Sandberg makes a strong case for why we need to have women at the very tops of corporations and governments - for the good of all. She also expands her thesis enough to motivate women(and men)who want to prioritize family, volunteer efforts, or creative endeavor...
this book was AMAZING! 😍 I suggest this book for everyone! discusses about life in the workforce. I was deeply inspired to make a change for women in the workplace. I learned so many helpful tips that were so RELEVANT with my graduation date in December!
Here is a book that is a must read for all women ! The writing style is engaging and the author mentions anecdotes that every woman can relate to. I found the book a little more suitable for women who have been in the workforce for a few years, but the last few chapters are extremely useful for recent graduates. So all in all, if you're looking for an inspiring read, look no further !
I’d give this 6 stars if I could. For a young woman who has just ventured out into the “real world”, navigating the labyrinth of your career and life (a.k.a. Adulting) can be quite daunting. This was just the book I needed! I spent two weeks reading this relatively small book, because every line struck a chord with me and sent me into a tangential train of thought. I could relate to so many things mentioned in the book, that I had previously dismissed as a personal flaw or had even failed to not...
I'm noticing a trend where no matter how much I enjoy a book, it takes me about 2 weeks to read it because of my stupid life. Anyway, I VERY MUCH enjoyed this book. It has fantastic (if not depressing) data on the state of affairs for women in the workforce and outstanding advice for how to handle the obstacles women often face in their careers. I was on the defense because this book was written by extremely privileged women and I assumed the entire thesis depended on the reader having very loft...
I loved this book! I might not be graduating from university or looking for a job right now, but later I will. This book made me realize many things I dismissed before. I never even knew that even in the US, there's still a considerable discrimination between both genders. I support every word of her book and the next is to be bought. This was my first feminist book. And definitely not the last. I truly admire Sheryl Sandberg, this book helped me gain confidence to speak up. I even told my frien...
