“I read this book at a time of career upheaval and it definitely helped me in regard to the direction I wanted to take my career and gave me an extra boost of confidence and relevancy in my job interview. I found a lot of the advice to be applicable and helpful and I enjoyed the author's anecdotes. This book is definitely great for those who need a little spike in their ambitions and attitudes. I especially liked the advice about equalizing with others. This will help me in my career, networking and social life.”

That said, this is definnitely one of the stranges business books I've read in a long time - and this is the genre I read about 95% of the time. About half way through the book I was saying to my friends "can you believe she's writing about sleeping with Bill Gates in this book?" - but you know what, I was talking about it, I was creating buzz for the book and I certainly couldn't put it down. I don't know if you'd describe the author Christine as likeable, nor would I say she's trying to be: she's flawed, but she knows it (and aren't we all), she's a character (wait a minute, she's a monk, a geisha, a burnout, a tech-head, an investor, an entrepreneur - make that she's multiple characters), but by the end of the book I really connected with the message that she was trying to put out. Interesting and slightly shocking reading, definitely not predictable.

“I am currently reading this book. It is great to finally get a real perspective of a business leader from a "REAL" woman's perspective. I appreciate Christine's perspective...she is coimg from a place of real life experiences not theory. ”
