Book review : "Lean in" by Sheryl Sandberg
When I read business books there is a sense of boredom attached to it. But Sheryl Sandberg's "Lean in" is too interesting to drift off.Lucid in language and contains lot of anecdotes which most women will agree to.(at least I did very strongly)
Go or not go ?
"MUST READ" for all women out there trying to balance their personal & professional lives. Also a must read for men if you want your wife/gf to be always satisfied & happy with life.
What to expect?
Book is based on the fact that whatever jobs we are in have come after a lot of struggle and now we should try utmost to preserve & nurture it - which is why "leaning in" is important at every point of your career.
Sheryl from her personal expriences tells us most glaring mistakes which women can avoid and simple creative solutions in case we struggle to keep alive our jobs.
You can't help but agree (at least I do) with what Sheryl says in Lean in - girls hold themselves back from being called the achiever. I am also a culprit to this - not "sitting at the table" maybe because I didn't want to annoy the down to earth self in me- but NOW i realize that i was not being down to earth but "foolish" in not seizing the best opportunities when I should have.
Another point which i strongly agree to is importance of Making your partner a real partner. I am lucky to have a partner who is very supportive of my career - all our decisions are mutual and we have very smartly done the division of labour at home - one who packs lunch in morning will be discounted from warming the milk at night. These arrangements are not always written in stone but it helps your better half realize you are half responsible for some of household chores too.
All in all a fantastic read. !!!
