I picked this book up after signing up for a talk with Vee and her best friend, so I can come prepared. I knew about this powerhouse of a woman before, but did not actively follow what she has been up to.
Now I have big regrets about not doing so before. Luckily, this books summarizes quite a bit of it very well!

In her book, Vee describes basically every aspect of life that is needed to feel empowered and successful (in whatever way you want to define that). She discusses various steps and mindsets we can all take to lead the life we want and feel great about it.
I really liked how each chapter was based on an anecdote or story from her life that made the points especially clear and easier to relate to.

During and after reading this book, I feel incredibly motivated and good about my current place and future goals. Vee's concrete steps to take are straightforward and realistic, and she has a great way of making these shown in the book.

Some people found her age confusing, but I think there would have been no better time for her to write this book. I know feel like it is so much easier to relate to her and her journey. Yes, she did not reach an end yet, but is there ever really going to be one?
I love to see women my age thrive despite the challenges put into our way. It is simply inspiring and remarkable what Vee and others have achieved. Reading from someone who is going to similar difficulties as me and my peers is in itself an empowering experience.
Highly recommend for young women (and men too, really) with ambitions. Mostly in work and education, but in everything else really too.

Became a bit less applicable to me as the book went on but I found it very positive and inspiring.
