review 1: There are two messages that students, especially girls, get about making mistakes: one says they are learning opportunities, and the other says to avoid them at all costs. The women who contribute essays and tips to this collection explore this tension as they relate the mistakes they've made and what they've learned. This is a good way to learn from others' mistakes as well as to become more comfortable with making your own. A good companion book for LEAN IN.
review 2: I thought this was a great book. It reads well, and I felt jam-packed with valuable lessons, with no part that dragged on or lost my attention. I found myself thinking about work situations and my own aspirations and thinking of ways to apply the lessons to my own life. I like the format, and... more while I was a bit disappointed that not all of the contributors really laid out a mistake they'd made, every chapter certainly had an impact. I have also compiled a long list of books, articles, and websites to look at. I would recommend this to any woman in the workplace. less
