Our Review
This book tackles the confidence gap that holds many women back in their careers, blending neuroscience, behavioral research, and interviews with powerful women to explain why qualified women often hesitate while less-qualified men advance.

What sets this guide apart is its actionable advice, which pushes readers to stop overthinking and start doing, breaking the cycle of perfectionism and rumination that stifles potential. It’s an essential read for any woman who has ever felt her inner critic holding her back in a meeting, a negotiation, or a career move, offering the tools to rewrite her internal script and claim the professional success she has earned.
