Synopsis


ERIC HOFFER AWARD winner for Self-Help
MONTAIGNE MEDAL finalist
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY BOOKLIFE PRIZE quarter finalist


Today's professional women are tired of feeling pressured to Lean In and Have it All.

Women's Equality isn't about getting more of us into the corner office or the boardroom. It's about having the freedom to choose our own path.

But mainstream messages have lost sight of this and turned our pursuit of professional achievement into a directive rather than a choice. As a result, many women of our generation are now chasing after careers and accomplishments that we may not truly want, all at the cost of our families, our health, and our happiness.

Instead of striving to have it all, it's time to have just what we want.

Leaning Out is a must-read for women who are tired of today's one-sided messages and looking for an alternative perspective.

What Readers Are Saying About Leaning Out:

"Leaning Out is a breath of fresh air for women, like myself, whose main focus is family and home life over career."

"This book came at a pivotal moment in my career, dare I say, my life. I'm having to make hard choices about whether to Lean In like I always have or whether I'm ready to prioritize my Immortality Project in a way I haven't given myself permission to do in the past."

"I found that the advice provided in this book not only applies to women but also to men. Men play an active role in helping women achieve personal happiness rooted from their deep values."

"This book is brief and smartly written and specifically questions the reader about what their true priorities are."

"A pleasant book that touches on something so very important to us today. Those who want to work and go home and be with their family are not lacking ambition or full of laziness. Those who don't want to climb the corporate ladder are not lacking confidence or living in fear. Some of us really just want to live a simple life and want to be home with what is important to us."
