Synopsis

The 10 Habits of Highly Successful Women is a collection of essays revealing the secret career habits and hard-won wisdom of a diverse group of accomplished women, selected by Rachel Sklar and Glynnis MacNicol, co-founders of TheLi.st, the well-known network dedicated to elevating professional women.Perhaps no group has experienced more upheaval in the last few decades than working women. In this series, each woman explores the one key habit or lesson that has made the difference in forging her career and attaining professional success.Whether it’s CNN personality Sally Kohn’s exploration of emotional correctness or What Not To Wear’s Stacy London on the wear and tear of our aspirational “Culture of Extraordinary”; why millennial Nisha Chittal won’t tell you her age and what Cindy Gallop learned about sex while dating men half hers; how lessons from waitressing led Jenna Wortham to The New York Times or how Paula Froelich perfected the art of the “controlled burn” to start over after the end of a dream career—these essays uncover the challenges and delights of chasing, and finding, success in work and life as a professional woman.This book was initially released in episodes as a Kindle Serial. All episodes are now available for immediate download as a complete book.

Goodreads review by Ivy on January 15, 2020

The title is misleading. It's not exactly about habits but more about general approach and experiences. The essays are interesting and some spoke directly to me, while others were just ok.

Goodreads review by Moh on April 08, 2017

Not sure what I expected (I got this book free with kindle unlimited), but it was pretty meh. Didn't deliver on the title and had a fairly narrow definition of success (pretty confined to media). Most of the stories were reasonably interesting but there was nothing tying them together and they were......more
