review 1: I received a copy through Goodreads FirstReads in exchange for an honest review. First and foremost, this book (collection of essays written by 10 women) was not at all what I was expecting. The title leads one to believe the book will discuss 10 things successful women have done/do that they believe has contributed to their success. Great! That sounds like something useful to read! However, this notion did not continue past the first few essays. I thought the first few were helpful and shared insights that could benefit me as a young professional woman. Later on, the essays became more about sharing a generalized idea, rather than a concrete "habit". Some of the ideas discussed in these later essays felt familiar, like I had heard it all before. Despite my disappointment... more in these later chapters, some of the anecdotes were entertaining and enjoyable. Since each chapter is an essay by a different woman, some were more enjoyable than others based on if her writing style was agreeable to me. In the end, I would recommend this book to young women who hope to work or who do work in the media world as most of the authors seem to work in this industry in some form or fashion. I believe the anecdotes from the authors could give these readers insights into their industry that could possibly be useful. (I do not work in this industry). If you're looking for advice/tips on how to improve yourself as a professional woman, there is probably a better book for you out there.
review 2: The title of this book is really misleading. It was originally a Kindle serial. I bought it as a book on one of the Kindle one day deals, so at least I don't feel like I wasted my money. Some of the writers do a great job, but almost all of them just tell you how they got into media (and then got stressed out and had to leave their jobs). What exactly were the 10 habits? The more I read the more frustrated I got that the chapters were all so much the same. Where are the women in engineering, business, sales, accounting, education, etc? Where are the women who decided to have kids and a career? I know they are out there and it would have been interesting to hear from them also. less
