Not the advice women should be receiving

Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2018

Verified Purchase

What is so disappointing to me is her putting the onus on women to get ahead in corporate America. The author comes from a privileged background and had powerful men as mentors throughout her career. I don't think women should depend on finding male mentors nor should they work hard to get a seat at the table at male-dominated businesses. Sheryl should be encouraging women to start their own businesses, businesses more in step with female values, and using her clout to make this happen.

Life (and career) changing

Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2016

Verified Purchase

This book CHANGED MY LIFE. I had been working in the same position at the same company for the last 12 years wondering why I wasn't being promoted or approached by competitors. Along with gaining experience over the years and building my own self confidence, I needed this book to push me to take the next steps. I know this sounds silly and self absorbed, but when I was reading it, it was like Sandberg was talking directly to me. She gave me insight into some of the things that were happening around me, and some tips on what I could do to change the course of my career.

Within a week of finishing it, I stood up to a male coworker who was minimizing and deflating everything I said in a meeting in front of my manager and colleagues. Pre book I probably would have just let it go and been deferential even though I knew I was right. I didn't back down on my position, but I remained calm and logical, and was still friendly. He on the other hand became angry and raised his voice. I asked him why he was becoming so emotional about he topic, and that question disarmed him completely. He said "you're right, I'm sorry." Later he came to my office and apologized again. I know he didn't like it, and I don't think his apology was sincere, but I know I at least gleaned some respect from him and my colleagues.

I later noticed in another meeting in which a female coworker and I were presenting, several male audience members kept interrupting us despite the fact that we were supposed to be teaching them the material. I finally stepped in and said "gentlemen, thanks for your insights but we're going to hold questions and comments until the end." They shut up.

I have finally recently been selected to attend a conference across the country with a select few other employees. I attribute this selection to my newfound confidence in my abilities and contributions to the organization, and I attribute that confidence to this book!

I think every working woman should read this (especially working mothers), and possibly more importantly, every manager, male or female, should read this book.

My four favorite quotes from “Lean In”

Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2018

Verified Purchase

I read most of “Lean In” when it originally came out, and decided to revisit it while on sabbatical this month. My favorite thing about it is Sheryl’s sheer honesty throughout. Here are four quotes from the book that gave me particular inspiration:

1) “Writing this book is what I would do if I weren’t afraid.”

—> what are YOU afraid of? Maybe you should also embrace it rather than running away from it. That’s how we accomplish some of our most satisfactory growth.

2) “I wish I were strong enough to ignore what others say, but experience tells me I often can’t. Allowing myself to feel upset, even really upset, and then move on - that’s something I can do.”

—> this (and the chapter it was in) resonated deeply. I was once essentially not given a promotion because I had cried behind closed doors in an executive office, at a time when I was failing to get by on four hours of sleep per night. That executive then didn’t believe I was emotionally ready to be promoted. Reading this book, I felt vindicated knowing that other successful people bring emotion to work, and it hasn’t held them back.

3) “success is making the best choices we can... and accepting them”

—> Fact: we can’t have it all, and the sooner we get comfortable with compromises and imperfections, the more comfortable we’ll be.

4) “We must raise both the ceiling and the floor.”

—> I love the ideas in this book around helping ALL women find the balance and equality that they are looking for. Yes, we need more female leaders, but we need more examples at every level and in multiple professions.

Blames her gender for critism of her flaws

Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2018

Verified Purchase

I tried three times to get through chapter 2 and I just couldn’t do it. For example, even if she was a man, her siblings would have told stories about her bossing them around as kids growing up. This book was not for me. I couldn’t get through it.

Loved this book!

Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2017

Verified Purchase

I loved this book. I didn't read it when it came out partly becaused I listened to reviews who claimed Sheryl's persepective was irrelevant because of her elite statue as a Silicon Valley exec. Boy, was I wrong to listen to the negative press. Should Sheryl not have a voice because she has been successful? I think not. She had quite a bit to say that I felt was relevant to my middle class lifestyle and the issues I face as a career mom. She acknowledges herself, that she can afford to have help but that didn't make her insights any less perceptive. One of the first steps we can take as we "Lean In" is to be supportive of women who speak out. Having read the book, I highly recommend it and now her critics seem mean spirited and small minded.

Lean In

Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2017

Verified Purchase

One of the best books I have ever read. I am not a self-help book reading kind of person, but was struggling through some issues on the job. The book was recommended to me by a few people so I purchased it. It's a very easy read and the style conversational and chatty.

Although the book is written from the perspective of a white female, throw any "ism" in and you would probably be able to identify. Worth reading because it gives women plenty of insight into how we sometimes perceive ourselves and our roles on the job.

I could certainly identify with some of the behaviors she points out!

Every woman should read “lean in” at least once in their lifetime.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 16, 2021

Verified Purchase

I am absolutely in love with this book! In my opinion every woman should read “lean in” at least once in their lifetime.
I feel so sad that so many people criticise Sheryl’s book Without reading it. When I told my partner I was reading “lean in“, he said, “Oh..., People say it’s only for rich elite women who can afford full-time nannies.“ That is a result of malicious rumour. In my opinion people who criticise the book are the ones that focus too much in little details and very often forget the bigger picture that the book is trying to present. “Lean in “has been recommended to me by my mentor, a powerful and knowledgeable business woman after I shared with her that I am struggling with my confidence and almost constantly doubting myself. The book helped me realise that there are many talented and successful women out there who feel the same as I do. Whilst reading the book there were a lot of examples that Sheryl gives that I could resonate with and I agree with almost everything she says. I am competitive and ambitious but think that I am not experienced enough or I am not ready for the big challenge.
We have to help change the world so that our sisters and daughters don’t need to go through the same thing. In my opinion this book is not only suitable for women but men can benefit from it as well. This book is great conversation starters you might want to read it which are partner, and talk about the issues you have always wanted to bring up but couldn’t.

A Bible for cis white middle-class professional women who are married to men and intent on motherhood (that is, assuming that your cishet white middle-class privilege can sufficiently compensate for the institutional bias against women in the professional world, and indeed life in general). All other women can give this book a miss - a note the author failed to signpost, perhaps due to her unawareness of the existence of any other sort of woman.

You must read this!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 10, 2015

Verified Purchase

If you are a woman, or the parent of girls, you must read this. I like the way Sheryl Sandberg uses her own experience, backed by facts from creditable research. She doesn't just moan about life, she has ideas about how to actually make things better. And unlike many people who write such books, she doesn't pad it out with interminable guff - she sticks to the point. As a result this is a short and very readable book, that has inspired me to be more confident and proactive as a woman. I have told my friends about it too.

Too much case studies

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 3, 2019

Verified Purchase

It was an interesting read (if you can find the nuggets of wisdom). The fiction was supposed to be a fiction however I felt I was reading someone's thesis/dissertation on "women in the workplace".

There were many unnecessary details and stories which were more than half the book.

Self is the reference point for the author's value

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 22, 2018

Verified Purchase

I am sure that this book has the potential to inspire women to step outside of their comfort zone and adjust personal biases owned by themselves and others. However, I was disappointed in the focus on self and thelsck of value given to personal integrity. The author gave examples of where she had lied in her approaches to ealing with difficult situations.
