Sheryl Sandberg’s Lean In is a massive cultural phenomenon and its title has become an instant catchphrase for empowering women. The book soared to the top of bestseller lists internationally, igniting global conversations about women and ambition. Sandberg packed theatres, dominated opinion pages, appeared on every major television show and on the cover of Time magazine, and sparked ferocious debate about women and leadership.

Ask most women whether they have the right to equality at work and the answer will be a resounding yes, but ask the same women whether they'd feel confident asking for a raise, a promotion, or equal pay, and some reticence creeps in.

The statistics, although an improvement on previous decades, are certainly not in women's favour – of 197 heads of state, only twenty-two are women. Women hold just 20 percent of seats in parliaments globally, and in the world of big business, a meagre eighteen of the Fortune 500 CEOs are women.

In Lean In, Sheryl Sandberg – Facebook COO and one of Fortune magazine's Most Powerful Women in Business – draws on her own experience of working in some of the world's most successful businesses and looks at what women can do to help themselves, and make the small changes in their life that can effect change on a more universal scale.

Product description

Review

A landmark manifesto ― New York Times

Lively, entertaining, urgent, and yes, even courageous … Lean In is both a radical read and incredibly accessible … While it’s obvious that women have much to gain from reading Sandberg’s book, so do men – perhaps even more so ― Guardian

A brave book to write … direct, funny and critical ― The Economist

The business manual of the year ― The Times

Any woman should welcome Lean In as a guide to cracking the glass ceiling ― Independent

From the Inside Flap

In 2013, Sheryl Sandberg's Lean In became a massive cultural phenomenon and its title became an instant catchphrase for empowering women. The book soared to the top of bestseller lists internationally, igniting global conversations about women and ambition. Sandberg packed theatres, dominated opinion pages, appeared on every major television show and on the cover of Time magazine, and sparked ferocious debate about women and leadership.

Ask most women whether they have the right to equality at work and the answer will be a resounding yes, but ask the same women whether they'd feel confident asking for a raise, a promotion, or equal pay, and some reticence creeps in.

The statistics, although an improvement on previous decades, are certainly not in women's favour - of 197 heads of state, only twenty-two are women. Women hold just 20 percent of seats in parliaments globally, and in the world of big business, a meagre eighteen of the Fortune 500 CEOs are women.

In Lean In, Sheryl Sandberg - Facebook COO and one of Fortune magazine's Most Powerful Women in Business - draws on her own experience of working in some of the world's most successful businesses and looks at what women can do to help themselves, and make the small changes in their life that can effect change on a more universal scale.

Victim blaming, and putting the pressure on the oppressed has never helped anyone to overcome any discrimination or oppression

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

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 February 2021

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 10 November 2015

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.

Self is the reference point for the author's value

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 June 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.

well worth reading - for women and for men

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 August 2013

Career advice for women from a very successful woman.

Key tips: 'sit at the table' (ie put yourself forward and don't hold yourself back - 'what would you do if you were not afraid?"); be aware of gender stereotyping and explain why you are going to negotiate before you do negotiate - but don't fail to negotiate (men negotiate naturally and it is expected of them); 'make your partner a real partner' (and, for example, don't go in for gatekeeper behaviour at home and ask him to step aside and let you do it when he's making a mess of things - let him do it himself and learn); generally in finding a job look at the growth potential of the company (as the author did with Google) and think what you can offer an employer that the employer actually wants/needs; and on living your life understand that time is a scarce resource and you can't have or do it all - the whole essence of the thing is trade-offs and decisions.

So, there's a lot of interest here; and the book gives every appearance of being well researched as well as full of personal material. The author tells us in the afterward that she has a co-writer; and that even so writing the book has taken out of the time she spends with her husband. This also has the ring of truth - but it does to some extent underscore the idea that the author is something of an exceptional human being.

I would recommend cross-checking her thinking against the recent book The XX Factor by Alison Wolf. That carefully explains that there are three life styles for women today - one fot the top 1%, another for the remainder of the top 20%, and a third for the other 80%. Sandberg is definitely part of the top 1% in that grouping. So perhaps her thinking is not entirely for everyone....

worst read ever book is terrible. has no purpose, author has no writing skill to engage her audience. struggled to get through 1 chapter. This is the reason why not just anyone should start writing books just because they have funding doesn't mean they can write...

I hate most "business books" but this is different. Male or female, read this book. It stuck with me and most people in my team have borrowed it (it's rather dog eared now!). It really is excellent.
