Rachel Hollis has seen it too often: women not living into their full potential.

In Girl, Stop Apologizing, number-one New York Times best-selling author and founder of a multimillion-dollar media company, Rachel Hollis sounds a wake-up call. She knows that many women have been taught to define themselves in light of other people - whether as wife, mother, daughter, or employee....

Summary
A new kind of career playbook for a new era of feminism, offering women a new set of rules for professional success: one that plays to their strengths and builds on the power they already have.
Weren't women supposed to have "arrived"? Perhaps with the nation's first female president, equal pay on the horizon, true diversity in the workplace to come thereafter? Or at least the end of "fat shaming" and "locker room talk"?
Well, we aren't quite there yet. But does that mean that progress for women in business has come to a screeching halt? It's true that the old rules didn't get us as far as we hoped. But we can go the distance, and we can close the gaps that still exist. We just need a new way.
In fact there are many reasons to be optimistic about the future, says former Wall Street powerhouse-turned-entrepreneur Sallie Krawcheck. That's because the business world is changing fast - driven largely by technology - and it's changing in ways that give us more power and opportunities than ever, and even more than we yet realize.
Success for professional women will no longer be about trying to compete at the men's version of the game, she says. And it will no longer be about contorting ourselves to men's expectations of how powerful people behave. Instead it's about embracing and investing in our innate strengths as women - and bringing them proudly and unapologetically to work.
When we do, she says, we gain the power to advance in our careers in more natural ways. We gain the power to initiate courageous conversations in the workplace. We gain the power to forge nontraditional career paths, to leave companies that don't respect our worth and instead go start our own. And we gain the power to invest our economic muscle in making our lives and the world better.
Here Krawcheck draws on her experiences at the highest levels of business, both as one of the few women at the top rungs of the biggest boy's club in the world and as an entrepreneur, to show women how to seize this seismic shift in power to take their careers to the next level.
This change is real, and it's coming fast. It's time to own it.

An inspiration and still practical
A colleague recommended that I read /listen to this book. So glad she did. It is wonderfully honest, inspiring and practical. So many great nuggets of our strength, power and influence as woman, several of which I had never heard. The best piece of advice, in my opinion, is the chapter on investing. Just wow!

A Sales Pitch For Ellevest
I got this book looking for a more down to earth realistic point of view as I start my career. And as much as I wanted to like it and be inspired the whole thing just felt off.
There are a few inspiring points in this book and some stories from the authors life that are relatable. But every chapter contains at least a small sales pitch for investing in the author's company.
There is one main point that is repeated in this book ad nauseam. Women add diversity to the workspace so don't feel bad for not "fitting in" in an office full of men. You bring something unique that the company needs to succeed so be yourself and follow your instincts.
The writer makes clear she wants to buck the stereotypes of women in business books but tends to lean on them heavily to support herself being a "stronger businesswoman."
I don't recommend it.

Great advice & insights narrated well.
This is definitely one of the better books on women in business I've heard/read. Sometimes when I'm listening to these types of audiobooks, I can get distracted and feel like I didn't miss anything, but with this one, I consciously pushed pause when I found myself not paying attention. To me, that's a sign I'm fully engaged in learning from the author!

Interesting personal story, too much promotion for her businesses
The author’s personal story is interesting and her accomplishment impressive. However half the book is about her two startups and reads like sales pitch (although it’s not exactly selling their service, but she’s promoting networking and financial management disproportionally). Not every reader is so interested in those specific topics.

This book was a real eye opener. It made me realize some things about myself and experiences that I never thought were issues. Can't wait to start using my power.
