About this listen

New York Times Bestseller

Following the success of Lean In and Why Women Should Rule the World, the authors of the bestselling Womenomics provide an informative and practical guide to understanding the importance of confidence—and learning how to achieve it—for women of all ages and at all stages of their career.

Working women today are better educated and more well qualified than ever before. Yet men still predominate in the corporate world. In The Confidence Code, Claire Shipman and Katty Kay argue that the key reason is confidence.

Combining cutting-edge research in genetics, gender, behavior, and cognition—with examples from their own lives and those of other successful women in politics, media, and business—Kay and Shipman go beyond admonishing women to ""lean in.""Instead, they offer the inspiration and practical advice women need to close the gap and achieve the careers they want and deserve.

Gave me a good understanding of the theory behind confidence and gave me food for thought on my own self development. Was hoping it would give specific exercises on how to do so which it didn’t but the information I learnt from this book has definitely given me the foundation.

Loved the book

This was ok but didn't include much you won't hear from Tara Mohr or Sheryl Sandberg.

Meh

A good, engaging book, well performed. I'd have liked more detail on tips and practical advice, but it was a clear introduction on the issue. Plenty of food for thought

A nice introduction

The book itself is interesting and a lot of research has been done by the authors.
The person reading the audiobook could have also done some research into pronouncing names properly. She clearly gave herself license to pronounce them just as she felt like.
Her voice and accent were irritating.

Interesting
