Goodreads Rating: 4.2

Amazon Rating: 4.6

In this powerful and inspiring book, Dr. Brené Brown tackles the issue of shame and vulnerability.

After years of rigorous social research, Daring Greatly invites us, readers, to take courage in showing up and letting ourselves be seen, and shows that without vulnerability, there can be no real connection or growth.

Published: March 2017

In this fast-paced, perpetually-stressed, and sleep-deprived world, Huffington shifts the focus back to the importance of a good night’s sleep. The Sleep Revolution aims to demolish our cultural mindset that a night of good, complete sleep is time wasted, and shows that a lack of sleep not only compromises our health but also damages our personal and work lives.

With research-backed discussions and recommendations from leading scientists, Huffington offers solutions on how we can achieve better and more restorative sleep that can power us up to transform our lives.  

Rise of the Rocket Girls: The Women Who Propelled Us, From Missiles to the Moon to Mars

Author: Nathalia Holt

Published: 2017

Amazon Rating: 4.5

Produced after extensive research and interviews, Holt’s Rise of the Rocket Girls tells the story of the female “human computers” who worked at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California during the 1940s and 50s. These group of brilliant young women computed rocket trajectories with only pencils, paper, and their mathematical prowess—which has transformed rocket design and, later on, made the exploration of the solar system possible.

In this well-researched book, Holt puts the spotlight on the roles women play in science—what they’ve done in the past, and what greater things they can do in the future.

Tender at the Bone: Growing Up at the Table

Author: Ruth Reichl

Published: 2010

Goodreads Rating: 4

Amazon Rating: 4.3

Not a self-help book, but Reichl’s well-crafted memoir Tender at the Bone points readers back to the most important ingredient in entrepreneurship—passion. People often relate entrepreneurship with the drive for financial success that they forget about passion, but Reichl proves that professional success can come from love and affection for your craft.

In Unfinished Business, Slaughter addresses the issue of true gender equality, both in the workplace and at home. Backed with extensive research and written in a warm, down-to-earth tone, Slaughter debunks all the “half-truths” young women are told about “having it all”. The book is also filled with wise and funny anecdotes, effectively making her one of the most trusted and admired voices on the issue.
