Pushback: How Smart Women Ask--And Stand Up--For What They Want by Selena Rezvani
5.0
I've read dozens and dozens of books on business, workplace behavior, advancing in the workplace, navigating the professional world as a woman, learning to be a productive working mother--and the list goes on. But none of them have come close to the searing, thought-provoking, and actionable content in this book.
I started dog-earing pages early and ended up folding over the corners of nearly every single page. There are constant gems: some you can use today, some you will use tomorrow, some you can pass along to someone else. Although the book was written for women, the content is applicable to anyone in the workplace. It's such an important book that I want to share it with my friends, family, and the people I work with. Unlike the good but lofty ideals of a Lean In-style book, or the sometimes self-important musings from productivity experts, this book was immediately and intensely empowering for me. It challenged my thinking almost from the first page.
