The Naked Truth: A Working Woman's Manifesto on Business and What Really Matters

NOTE EDITORE

With the sharp eye of a journalist and the brutal honesty of one who has been there, Margaret Heffernan states her case directly and provocatively that women are at odds as to how to find happiness and success at work while remaining true to themselves as women. In her own voice and the voices of the hundreds of women she has interviewed, from VPs of Fortune 100s to financial assistants climbing the ladder, Heffernan provides insight without sugar-coating the facts, preaching, or oversimplifying. Like a supportive and knowledgable friend, Heffernan discusses power, choices, love, sex, money, and many other difficult topics. She offers solutions and shares the naked truth about the working world (e.g. women's choices ARE limited, you CAN'T have it all, and women DO work differently than men). Similar to the bestselling Bitch in The House, this book tells it like it is, and also reveals new options that will offer women support, humor, and perspective on the realities of working.

SOMMARIO

In this provocative book, Margaret Heffernan, former CEO and Fast Company contributor, fuses her own experience with that of hundreds of women to identify the biggest challenges and the best solutions that women face today. From VPs of Fortune 100 companies to entrepreneurs to women just starting their careers, she traces the patterns and themes underlying women's power, choices, love, sex, money, and many other vital topics for working women. Without sugar-coating the facts, preaching, or oversimplifying, she offers solutions and shares the truth about the working world: women's choices are limited, you can't have it all, women do work differently from men and, yes, it is possible to find success amidst all of this and feel good about it. "Finally! A book that exposes the masculine myths about what it takes to be effective in business and helps women reclaim the relational intelligence we have been taught to ignore. A must-read for all women who want to increase their power and influence in the workplaceespecially those who are thinking of leaving because they are tired of the corporate gamesmanship that requires splitting themselves into a 'work me' and a 'home me.'"
