Unapologetically Ambitious: Take Risks, Break Barriers, and Create Success on Your Own Terms by Shellye Archambeau

4.0

This one was a bookclub book -- but I also had the great fortune of seeing Shellye Archambeau speak at a conference. This isn't a memoir, it's a book about pursuing your goals in your professional (and personal) life. Because of that, at times it felt too "success in a linear motion" and less relatable to the diversions, disappointments, and derailments that many of us have taken on the path to our goals. I imagine this was strictly to keep to the message of the book, but the auto-biography style of writing made that challenging to keep in mind.

That being said, I've taken several pieces of advice from Archambeau and have started applying them in my planning. So if that was the whole point, and I think it was, then the message was delivered successfully.
