Summary
Following the success of Lean In and Why Women Should Rule the World, the authors of the best-selling Womenomics provide an informative and practical guide to understanding the importance of confidence - and learning how to achieve it - for women of all ages and at all stages of their career.
Working women today are better educated and more well-qualified than ever before. Yet men still predominate in the corporate world. In The Confidence Code, Claire Shipman and Katty Kay argue that the key reason is confidence.
Combining cutting-edge research in genetics, gender, behavior, and cognition - with examples from their own lives and those of other successful women in politics, media, and business - Kay and Shipman go beyond admonishing women to “lean in.” Instead, they offer the inspiration and practical advice women need to close the gap and achieve the careers they want and deserve.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

a light hearted read
Was an easy one to read but had to skip chapters as there is one how to raise confident kids and could not get with the program as I don't have one. The book looks to combine science and the diagnosis of women confidence (or the lack of) as a good to know basis but now what?
A few interesting insights now and again but if you are looking for tools and techniques to raise confidence then there are better books out there.

Loved it!
It wasn't exactly what I was expecting, a step by step guide with the typical tips you get, but I think it was what I actually needed. A proper insight into the science and art of self-assurance that allows you to build your own brand of confidence. Definitely a top recommendation.

Meh
This was ok but didn't include much you won't hear from Tara Mohr or Sheryl Sandberg.

Good voice
Her voice is good and constant & she performed a very good job reading. It made it easy to listen. I just thought that the content would have more stories to relate to and that was the only reason I didn’t rate it higher.

Journal of authors' thought process
This is an entry level book to the idea of it being possible that women have confidence, a journal following the painstaking though process of two journalists playing authors and scientists. Diluted soup.

Loved the book
Gave me a good understanding of the theory behind confidence and gave me food for thought on my own self development. Was hoping it would give specific exercises on how to do so which it didn’t but the information I learnt from this book has definitely given me the foundation.

A book full of gender stereo type cliche
I was initially interested in this to go deep into the blueprint of what "confidence" is and how one could develop confidence, I.e a more how to guide. this was the opposite for me. it was very loose and seemed to focus more on comparing men and women, generalising that men are cocky confident and women are repressed and afraid to put themselves out there. Not very intellectual, more for those who want to bash men to be honest.
