Break Your Own Rules MP3 CD – Unabridged, August 23, 2016

This book really resonated with me. I recognized so much of myself in the tendencies and rules they described and it's made me immensely more self-aware, decisive and brave. It's very much true that this was the first book I read of its kind and it has since started me on books like Lean In, Gender Intelligence and the Confidence Code. Having read those, I can see how someone might say this message is not as original and surprising as I experienced it to be, but this book does things that none of these others do in that it gets much better and more poignantly at the female tenancies, what goes through our minds, how we hesitate and self-criticize and doubt ourselves even when we are imminently qualified to take the next step. This was not just a good book, but a very important life change for me to have read it.

Sometimes self development books can all sound the same. I really enjoyed the research done for this book and the relatable stories. Well done and great for women who want to climb the ladder and flourish in business.

Great empowerment book!

I love this book; I have to admit that I am reading it slowly in an effort to capture and implement all the lessons taught in this book. I believe the lessons are applicable at any stage in your career, the earlier the better.

A colleague recommended this book, and I absolutely loved it. Truly an essential for the modern working women.

Fantastic book. I’ve used this for several dialogue sessions and its been very successful.

Enjoyable although nothing exceptionally different.

Are We Ruled by Rules?I feel relatively self-conscience posting a book review on a book that's clearly targeted to women. My problem is that I'm a veracious reader and read almost any book that someone sends me.I've also become an advocate of women executives and entrepreneurs, and actively invest in them through Golden Seeds.The book is short (about 150 pages) and divided into nine chapters.The first chapter talks about vision. Having a clear vision allows that vision to become reality. Clarity of vision helps.The second chapter talks about breaking your own rules and how we are all limited by the rules we set in our lives. We have to look at these rules and actively challenge them.The third chapter talks about taking center stage or being willing to accept compliments and accolades for what's being accomplished. Essentially saying that women tend to be too modest.Chapter four talks about proceeding until apprehended, which means we become what we say we are or fake it until you make it.Chapter five discusses projecting personal power. The theory is that women don't project power, therefore, the do not get power.Chapter six talks about being politically savvy. The gist of it is, not being politically savvy can hurt any success. It makes sense to pay attention to politics.The seventh chapter is " play to win". This talks about the competitive differences between men and women and the idea that perhaps women need to play harder.Chapter eight talks about its both-and. This points out the classic dilemma of wanting to have a successful career and at the same time balancing successful relationships and family.Chapter nine talks about standing together and closing ranks. This is about how women can help other women in business and the corporate world.This is a well-written book and I would recommend it to any women looking to get ahead in business.

Lo leí hace unos años por recomendación de una amiga y me encantó, lo tengo muy subrayado. Se trata de unas coach para ejecutivas que han encontrado ciertas pautas que se repiten entre mujeres. El libro trata sobre estos errores comunes y cómo podemos cambiar nuestra forma de actuar. Se trata de una lectura entretenida, que utiliza ejemplos de forma que resulta muy fácil de leer y además es útil.Esta compra ha sido para regalar.

This book is a must read for women striving to rise to the top levels of their organizations. The fact of the matter is that men and women are different and nothing will change that. This book teaches you how to recognize behaviours that hurt us and recognize natural abilities that we can leverage to move us up the corporate ladder.

Products as expected.

Ya no se trata de hacer más cursos y tener más experiencia... llega un momento en el que las mujeres, tenemos también que cambiar nuestra forma de pensar si queremos progresar profesionalmente. Este libro es una gran ayuda para saber cómo. El resto, es cosa de cada una de nosotras!

Some good advices for women or men alike. This is a good reference book to develop a Long term career plan
