Publisher Description
New York Times Bestseller
Following the success of Lean In and Why Women Should Rule the World, the authors of the bestselling Womenomics provide an informative and practical guide to understanding the importance of confidence—and learning how to achieve it—for women of all ages and at all stages of their career.
Working women today are better educated and more well qualified than ever before. Yet men still predominate in the corporate world. In The Confidence Code, Claire Shipman and Katty Kay argue that the key reason is confidence.
Combining cutting-edge research in genetics, gender, behavior, and cognition—with examples from their own lives and those of other successful women in politics, media, and business—Kay and Shipman go beyond admonishing women to ""lean in.""Instead, they offer the inspiration and practical advice women need to close the gap and achieve the careers they want and deserve.
Customer Reviews
A great book every woman should read!
And most men too, to be honest.
More Problem Than Solution
The Confidence Code spends most of its time explaining why women lack confidence rather than providing actionable steps to build it. While the research and interviews are interesting, the takeaway boils down to “just do the thing,” which feels insufficient. I was looking for practical tools, but instead, I got a reminder that even the most successful women struggle with self-doubt. The audiobook narration didn’t help, as the tiny voice made it hard to stay engaged.
Book seems okay-cannot listen to this narrator
The premise of the book seems decent but this narrator sounds like Ms. rachel... like shes talking to two year olds it was just too soft too sweet just not good to get the point of this book across unfortunately
