How Women Rise: Break the 12 Habits Holding You Back from Your Next Raise, Promotion, or Job by Marshall Goldsmith, Sally Helgesen

DID NOT FINISH: 55%

The only reason I tried to read this was for a book club. I really didn't like this book. It is completely disingenuous to write a self help book for women in the workplace and completely disregard sexism and patriarchy. Both of these things have a huge impact on how women have to move through the workplace and how they can become successful. To pretend those aren't issue and to just completely ignore it makes the entire premise of this book worthless. On top of that none of the advice given in this book was new or unique. You can find this kind of advice anywhere. Save your time and read something better.
