New Success Rules for Women was a great read (even if you aren't climbing to the top of anything). Great anecdotes and examples from the lives of very interesting, successful people (who happen to all be women!). Full of tips and lessons for women in any field--buy it for a friend.

I loved the book. Susan Abram's advice is insightful and important, and her messages are very positive...absolutely inspirational! The power pointers and chapter summaries are terrific tools for busy women to carry supportive reminders with them through busy days.

Women who want strategy ideas for achieving career goals will find this an important guide which gathers the ideas of presidents, vice presidents, CEOs and directors - all women in high positions in their companies. Their anecdotes serve as the foundation for practical tips by women who started at the bottom and worked their way up.

Susan Abrams' book is a fast paced, straight shooting guide for anyone who wants to get ahead in business. I enjoyed reading the success stories of many well-known business women. If I had to choose only one book on business for my four daughters and two sons, this would be it!

I found this book to be extremely easy reading, while offering solid advice for success that is ACHIEVABLE. This is not a get rich quick gimmick, but rather, the book offers straightforward strategies for becoming a more effective manager. I enjoyed hearing the ups and downs from women at the top, knowing they got where they are from effort and not sheer luck. I would highly recommend it for women starting their careers, and veterans who want to pick up a few good ideas.

As President of The Association of Chicago Bank Women, I strongly recommend this book for both mid-career women and recent college graduates employed across all business sectors. The interviews provide thought-provoking insight into career strategies of seasoned veterans and the advice given is refreshingly down-to-earth. For example, Abrams shares the Pittsburgh Airport tip and dedicates a chapter "To thine own self be true"---common sense reminders in today's global business world. This book will be on every successful woman's desk who wants to go places in the New Millenium and is hereby endorsed by The Association of Chicago Bank Women.

Contains actionable, practical, valuable advice for women AND MEN. The recognition that "having it all" means different things to different people and still involves sacrifices and tradeoffs is refreshingly honest and realistic.

Every recent college graduate should have The New Success Rules for Women! Its common sense approach to career planning and on the job problem solving will help bypass many otherwise difficult "lessons" learned the hard way. These "Rules" apply for both sexes. The insight and advice is priceless.
