Machiavelli for Women by Stacy Vanek Smith
Finished my first audiobook today- had a couple of prompts to read one in this format- so I wanted to make sure it was a good one and boy was I surprised!
I listened to it during a 9 hour road trip and I learned so much. It was so insightful and I enjoyed listening to this new perspective about women in the workplace and will be applying some of the tips in my own career.
Some things that stood out for me personally:
When negotiating salaries- women typically think about what they need while men usually think about their market worth.
Men are likely to apply for a job when they are at least 60% qualified while women will usually try and find those they are 100% qualified.

A women's empowerment book that uses the book The Prince for inspiration to create lessons to show women what they can do to move the needle to more of an equitable society. (Not that women should be doing all the work) But lessons for women to ask for what they want and need in a way that uses the skills that women typically possess to get the outcomes they want.
While the author includes the references needed from The Prince to show her points, for me, I wish I had recently read it and was a little more educated in the source material and I think the book would have been a smoother and more enjoyable read for me.

When I first saw the title of this book I laughed. I thought it might be a gag book. Joke’s on me! Machiavelli for Women is a must-read for women in the workplace. It contains tons of valuable information and advice about how to navigate many aspects of professional life. Definitely give it a read!
