9 Secrets of Women Who Get Everything They Want (Paperback)

by Kate White (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review
9 Secrets of Women Who Get Everything They Want is like a double shot of espresso with three lumps of sugar. It's more than just inspirational. It's a 194-page, super-charged cattle prod of a self-help book filled with the kind of advice and insight that all busy women could use.

White begins the book with "Covet Thy Neighbor's Things," where she suggests that being envious of someone else is a healthy way of determining your own secret desires. What follows is a series of motivational anecdotes combined with practical tips such as, "sweet-talk everyone" and "find TPB (their personal bonus)." She ends with "Rest on Your Laurels," an invitation to enjoy success.

White's 9 secrets are neither mysterious, nor are they eccentric. But they are unconventional. She suggests that the key to getting what you want is thinking "out of the box," and the best thing about the book is that she offers real success stories from women who've done it. --Mara Friedman --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thank you, Kate!, April 20, 1999

This review is from: 9 Secrets of Women Who Get Everything They Want (Hardcover)

I loved this book! As a divorced mom, I have very little time to read, and I sometimes feel powerless and frustrated in so many areas of my career and my personal life. Kate's book is the first one that has inspired me to take time to read. And I've done so -- carefully, cover to cover, and over and over. Her insight has helped me focus, evaluate and understand, and now I have hope -- no, I have a genuine *expectation* that I will have greater control and satisfaction in my life. And such a fun read, too! I need to return my treasured, dog-eared volume to the library, but I'm going to keep it and pay the overdue fines until the copy I'm buying from Amazon arrives, because this simple, well-written and thoroughly entertaining book has been my inspiration. I recommend it with all my heart.

5.0 out of 5 stars I loved 9 Secrets of Women Who Get Everything They Want, November 25, 1999

By	J. Meyer (South Dakota) - See all my reviews

This review is from: 9 Secrets of Women Who Get Everything They Want (Hardcover)

It isn't often I come across a book that really seems to speak directly to me. I couldn't put it down. I read the entire book in less than four hours. I kept thinking I wished this author was a friend of mine. I can't say I would try all the ways she talked about to get my way, but I relished the thought of more than a few of the suggestions! I live in a small town in South Dakota. Life is not that complicated here like it might be in a larger city. I adored this book, it's a KEEPER, one to be read regularly in life!

5.0 out of 5 stars Just as Great!, April 4, 1999

This review is from: 9 Secrets of Women Who Get Everything They Want (Hardcover)

This is not a case of 'well, it worked the first time, let's try it again and see if it sells'! I love her appealing, chatty style of writing and eye-catching titles (it must come from her years of working at magazines), and all those inspiring quotes and tips from successful gutsy women. This book is filled with more ways to get what you want -in fact, I think you can use a little imagination and try to use her suggestions to make anything more creative. The main point of this book is similar to her first one, "Why Good Girls Don't Get Ahead and Gutsy Girls Do!", which is why one might think that they are the same but I assure you, it's worth it! Three cheers for Kate White!
