EPIC!: The Women's Power Play Book

by Carolyn Buck Luce

Do you have any idea how powerful you are?

On some level, you do. You know it in your very cells—what you're capable of on this planet; what you can do and who you can become. But all too often, women are asked to give away their power, to play by someone else's rules, and to turn away from their potential. That stops today!

EPIC! The Women's Power Play Book will help you unravel that conditioning and reclaim your destiny. Learn to create a life by design, not by default, through a unique framework of inspiring case "herstories" and provocative exercises you'll play like a game, equipping you to craft the best next chapter of your life.

Discover a wealth of power plays and tools that will help you uncover your purpose, recover your power, and discover your future. Start playing to win, instead of playing "not to lose"—without giving up even the smallest piece of yourself—and unleash the full measure of your natural-born power. This is the game you've been waiting to play all your life. Game On!

Across five decades, I have been a successful diplomat, Wall Street banker, management consultant, healthcare futurist, talent innovator, professor, author, philanthropist, wife, mother, and grandmother.

My life journey navigating a man’s world has given me a unique perspective on living an epic life of meaning and purpose, regardless of the obstacles. Today, I uses my proprietary Decade Game to coach leading women around the globe to step fully into their power at home, at work, and in the world.

I thought this book had a lot of really great insights on how to think and effectively live out your life in order to meet goals you have for yourself. It definitely gave me a lot to think about and put into practice. I would encourage any person who is struggling with finding out who they want to be or what they want for their life to read this book!

A epic read! Carolyn's Decade Game offers a playbook of sorts to look ahead and make choices that will allow us to live more fully, contribute meaningfully to the world, and build strong relationships.

Great book! Finally a game made by women for women! Fantastic methodology, well-written, relatable, great examples, clear and useful. That is, if you want to live a remarkable life. Now I am looking forward to applying the game in my reality.

Too much work to do all she asks

I think you can plan your future and reach for the stars without all the charts and pillars that are needed to follow this plan of action.

Really would not recommend for a self-help, female-led book. I found it really boring, not helpful, and dull.

This book just wasn’t for me. I’m not a planner in this way. For me, this book was like slogging through mud.
