About this listen

#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.

I read this book in 2 days as I simply couldn't put it down.
I think it's a "must read" for everyone of every gender & age; studying, working and stay at home - it explains so much about the way things work (or don't), about the incredible waste of a pool of talent, and about how to negotiate, act and try to think about traditional gender roles.
I also think it will help many to think about the way ahead and what kind of society we want ourselves and our children to live in.

Must read for everyone.

I loved it! I now sit at the table confidently and keep encouraging more women to do same, no matter how young. Thank you Sheryl.

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!
