Starting a business as a way of getting out of a toxic relationship is an interesting story

Her life story was nothing short of inspiring. A lot of life lessons you can take away from this. Loved it

I wavered between 3 and 4 stars on this one. While I have several inspiring quotes marked on this book, it was a difficult one for me to read in large chunks, as I easily lost focus. So, 3 stars for the writing, and 4 stars for inspiring takeaways. I think I’ll try the Dermalogica Microfoliant, too, so good marketing insert!

Not sure if others would be as into her story as I am. But it was interesting to me because I worked for her.

In “Skin in the Game,” Jane Wurwand shares the journey of Dermalogica, from its inception to its sale, offering practical advice for entrepreneurs based on the principles that drove their success. While the book is insightful and clearly aims to help others grow, it’s evident that Wurwand’s strengths lie in business, not writing, as the execution could have been more polished.

I love listening to an author read his or her book, whether non-fiction or fiction. The passion that triggered him or her to write the tome bleeds through the actual words to deliver a deeper, emotional story. Jane Wurwand “Skin in the Game: Your Biggest Life is Already Inside You” is a perfect example of this. Part memoir, part entrepreneur handbook, the volume is a must-read for anyone looking for his or her passion, hoping to build a successful business, and/or simply yearning to find his or her place in the world. Definitely, definitely worth the read.
