Summary
#1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER • “A landmark manifesto" (The New York Times) that's a revelatory, inspiring call to action and a blueprint for individual growth that will empower women around the world to achieve their full potential.
In her famed TED talk, Sheryl Sandberg described how women unintentionally hold themselves back in their careers. Her talk, which has been viewed more than eleven million times, encouraged women to “sit at the table,” seek challenges, take risks, and pursue their goals with gusto. Lean In continues that conversation, combining personal anecdotes, hard data, and compelling research to change the conversation from what women can’t do to what they can. Sandberg, COO of Meta (previously called Facebook) from 2008-2022, provides practical advice on negotiation techniques, mentorship, and building a satisfying career. She describes specific steps women can take to combine professional achievement with personal fulfillment, and demonstrates how men can benefit by supporting women both in the workplace and at home.

Critic reviews
“Lean In is an inauguration more than a last word, and an occasion for celebration ... Many, many women, young and old, elite and otherwise, will find it prescriptive, refreshing, and perhaps even revolutionary.” (Anna Holmes, The New Yorker)
“A landmark manifesto ... Fifty years after The Feminine Mystique ... Sandberg addresses 21st-century issues that never entered Betty Friedan’s wildest dreams ... Lean In will be an influential book. It will open the eyes of women who grew up thinking that feminism was ancient history, who recoil at the word but walk heedlessly through the doors it opened. And it will encourage those women to persevere in their professional lives.” (Janet Maslin, The New York Times)
“I approached it wearing two hats—one as CEO [and] the other as the parent of a nine-year-old daughter. In both capacities, I feel that Lean In is a must read.” (Mohamed El-Erian, CEO of PIMCO, in Fortune)

Inspiring, wise with sense of humour. Wonderful.
Wise, successful woman, who is not afraid to speak out, about what we all feel and experience as women. She delivers the message without patronising or criticising other women. Instead she shares her experiences, insecurities imposed by herself and others (that most women I know, can relate to). At the same time she focuses on solutions to the problems, points the way forward.
I found this book uplifting, inspiring, educational and well written. Serious matters delivered with reflections and sense of humor.

a book to recommend to everyone I meet
I love this book. I don't really have the struggle with the family and children, but I relate because people assume that I have that struggle.
My new years resolution is right out of this book "what would you do if you were not afraid?"
this book is funny, brilliant, and I'm buying copies and giving them out like candy.
Everyone should read this book!

Why Have I Not Read This Before?!
Have known about this book for years. So glad I have read it now but wish I had earlier. An important book which explains so much of what a female endures, with explanations of why and with tips on how to overcome. Good for you Sheryl for sharing your story, and the encouragement, and thank you. Recommended for both genders.

Love this!
I listened to this audiobook after watching Sheryl Sandberg on YouTube during doing some research on women in Leadership. This is a truly inspirational book and I will be recommending it to all my women in Leadership members to help them to lean in!

Very compelling listen
I wish I'd have read this book a long time ago. It gives an informed view of what is required of me & the reasons why.

Excellent recommendation to support the individual
very much written to give both men and women a better insight how to frame each individual to his or her best performance.
Men that are still living in the middle ages can’t be reached anyway, but the less the better.

Inspired Female
I have struggled with learning back but could see it hindered my growth at the male dominated automotive industry. I must say I feel inspired and from today onwards I will be at the table. The narrator is the best. Thanks

Really inspiring!! Total motivator!
Would you listen to Lean In again? Why?
This was a great audiobook. Really enjoyed the different chapters and how it was broken down. It was really inspiring and really motivated me to change the way I behave at work. Really liked the narrator too, she gave the book a lift so I didn't feel like I was listening to a "business" book.
Any additional comments?
This book basically changed my career. I'm in my early 20's and made me realise all the small ways I put myself down on a daily basis, both to myself and to my colleagues. This book blew me away and I think its an essential read for anyone whose at the start of their career.
