Totally in live with this book!
Totally resonates with my vision for myself in the corporate world. The book sheds light on what holds us back as women at work. I've been made to feel guilty about hopping, but now i know, that's a jungle gym approach! Highly recommended for ambitious men & women.

Disappointing
I was pleased to see that Amazon offered a summary of Sheryl Sandberg's "Lean In" for the Kindle. I was hoping that reading this summary would give me a fairly clear idea of the high points of the actual book. Unfortunately, I was so distracted and frustrated by the numerous typos and grammatical errors found throughout that it was a struggle to even finish it. It appears that this was published without being edited at all.
