Summary
The much-anticipated and inspiring memoir by Indra Nooyi, the trailblazing former CEO of PepsiCo, offering clear-eyed insight and a call to action for how our society can really blend work and family - and advance women - in the 21st century.
For more than a dozen years as one of the world's most admired CEOs, Indra Nooyi redefined what it means to be an exceptional leader. The first woman, person of colour and immigrant to run a Fortune 50 company - and one of the foremost strategic thinkers of our time - Nooyi transformed PepsiCo with a unique vision, a vigorous pursuit of excellence and a deep sense of purpose. Now, in a rich memoir brimming with grace, grit and good humour, My Life in Full offers a firsthand view of a legendary career and the sacrifices it so often demanded.
In her book, Nooyi shares the events that shaped her - from her childhood in 1960s India, to the Yale School of Management, to her rise as a consultant and corporate strategist who soon ascended into the most senior executive ranks. The book offers an intimate look inside PepsiCo, detailing how she steered the iconic American company toward healthier products and reinvented its environmental profile without curbing financial performance - despite resistance at every turn.
At the same time, Nooyi built a home with her husband - also a high-powered executive - two daughters and members of her extended family. My Life in Full includes her unvarnished take on the competing pressures on her attention and time, and what she learned along the way. This book, as has her personal journey, will inspire young women everywhere to believe that they, too, can climb to powerful roles without giving up on the desire for a family and children. But, as Nooyi eloquently argues, her story is not a call for women to simply try harder, but is proof of the importance of organised care structures in all of our success. Nooyi makes a clear, actionable, urgent call for business and government to prioritise the care ecosystem, from skilled care networks to zoning policy, to paid leave and flexible and predictable work hours, each so critical to unleashing the economy's full potential and helping families thrive.
Generous, authoritative and grounded in lived experience, My Life in Full is both the story of an extraordinary leader's life and a moving tribute to the relationships that created it.

Inspirational!
Loved it! An inspiring life told with zero sugar coating!. Hard work and a passion for adding value through all one does, these are the huge take aways from Indra's story so far. Her story shows that there are many people out there who see only your potential and will move heaven and earth to support and help you through any challenge.

Inspiring story with authentic narration
Indira Nooyi’s presentations are notorious for being razor sharp. This book highlights that quality along with excellent story telling that keeps you engaged and empathetic at all times. An icon for most women in business in India, hearing the book narrated by her beats reading it, hands down!

An Extraordinary Live by an Amazing Woman
This is an incredible book to listen to. Indra Nooyi is a remarkable woman. Becoming the CEO of a global company is incredible in itself but she is a woman and a woman of colour so there were additional challenges and barriers. She openly talks about the challenges of having a family and responsibilities whilst being a high flying business person. And she never leaves behind her purpose for change. A must listen to.

Very good
Excellent account of Indra’s journey from her childhood in India to Pepsi’s CEO. I liked the fact that she is candid and doesn’t try to sugarcoat the personal sacrifices she had to make (as a wife and a mother) to allow her to get to where she got to, recognising the role her husband and immediate family played in it. It does unfortunately confirm that women can’t “have it all” and reinforces why increasingly more women with (or aspiring to) very senior leadership roles in big corporations feel no option but to choose between building a career or a family. I’m glad Indra choose to narrate the book herself.
