Lean in: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead by Sheryl Sandberg
3.0
Liked it more than I anticipated. I started reading it, and then listened to it on audio (one pet peeve - the narrator was not the author, but rather some actress from Sabrina the Teenage Witch. Not sure if it's because she tended to over-emphasize/dramatize Sandberg's words, or because Sandberg is such a public figure that most have heard her voice, or both, but the narrator annoyed me to no end.)
I am single and childless, I wasn't sure how much this book might apply to me, but I still found she made some very interesting points about leadership and gender; the book is thoroughly footnoted and well-researched. I don't have any aspirations to be a CEO or COO - not because I couldn't do it, but because I choose to want and have a job that allows me to contribute something to the world and meshes with my life - so I don't have to choose one or the other.
Sheryl Sandberg's world of high-roller power-players is something I will never see. Though she continually acknowledges that she has access to unusual resources to help her family, I wonder how much of her advice would shift if she had experienced any struggle to get by.
