Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead

Sandberg is the chief operating officer of Facebook and is positioned on Fortune’s list of the 50 Most Powerful Women in Business and as one of Time’s 100 Most Influential Individuals in the World. In 2010, she gave an electrifying TED Talk in which she defined how women inadvertently hold themselves back in their careers. Her talk, which became a phenomenon and has been seen more than two million times, motivated women to “sit at the table,” seek challenges, take risks, and pursue their goals with passion.

In a day where women hold 4.2 percent of the CEO jobs in Fortune 500 companies Sandberg is saying it should be 50% because woman are 50 percent of the College graduates,is she right?

There's many more , but my point being women still held back , if you  read this book you will believe they are i promise.

Good reading with a lot of quotes and facts surely an inspiration to all women who want to achieve a successful career should be required reading in any motivational class.

As you can see she is a brilliant speaker writer and coo, it is a book all should read.Lean in the number one seller at Amazon for a reason it is great.

“Important . . . This is a great moment for all of us—women and men—to acknowledge that the current male-dominated model of success isn’t working for women, and it’s not working for men, either . . . The world needs women to redefine success beyond money and power. We need a third metric, based on our well-being, our health, our ability to unplug and recharge and renew ourselves, and to find joy in both our job and the rest of our life.”

SAFE HAVEN, by Nicholas Sparks review

Safe Haven By Nicholas Sparks
SAFE HAVEN, by Nicholas Sparks

When a strange young female named Katie shows up in the little North Carolina town of Southport, her unexpected entrance elevates questions about her past. Gorgeous yet with drawn, Katie seems driven to stay clear of developing personal relationships until a sequence of situations attracts her into two hesitant relationships: one with Alex, a widowed store proprietor with a gentil heart and two young kids; and an additional with her plainspoken single next door neighbor, Jo. Regardless of her concerns, Katie gradually begins to let down her shield, putting down root base in the close-knit local community and becoming significantly connected to Alex and his family.

But even as Katie starts to fall in love, she battles with the dim secret that still haunts and terrifies her, a past that set her on a terrified, shattering voyage across the nation, to the protected retreat of Southport. With Jo’s empathic and tenacious support, Katie ultimately becomes aware of that she must select between a life of transient security and one of more dangerous rewards and that in the darkest hour, love is the only true safe haven.

This is a very good read with lots twist, spooky secrets, sexy love, one of the better books i have read this years.

Nora Roberts can make me devour a 500 page Novel in fewer than 24 hours. I enjoy Nora"s writing type, I adore her heroes, I thought this was the best  novel that she has written in some time as i have been critical of her in the past for mass producing books like a Detroit assembly line. this book is worth the recognition of her 200th publication a feet only a select few have reached mostly because her books have well-developed plots, that are enjoyable to read and are perfectly researched.

The Racketeer

John Grisham has sold more books than anyone on earth except for maybe Nora Roberts does it again with this mystery suspense thriller The Racketeer.A former attorney serving a 10 year sentence cuts a deal with the feds.Well written exciting one of John,s best books.

John Grisham's work runs the gambit. Some serious, some funny, some nostalgic, and some sporty. But no matter what you know you're in for a good read. This one is no different. 'The Racketeer' falls somewhere between the seriousness of 'The Confession' and the fun of 'The Litigators'.

Gone Girl:by Gillian Flynn a good book about a bad marriage
Gillian Flynn’s previous books, Sharp Objects and Dark Places, were very good books well written and interesting to read, her most intricately twisted and deliciously sinister story Gone Girl is dangerous for any reader who has ever been married, this is her break through book to greatness. Gone Girl: A Novel


Gone Girl is a book with more twist than the viper and more violence than war of the roses.If you are a newly wed do not read this book because you will start suspecting your spouse of everything from cheating to murder.Gillian does a great job of keeping your attention by adding odd twist to this story although there are parts that are very slow i think they are set up poonts for the next twist.

The Hunger Games (Book 1)

A futuristic action thriller that was made into a hit movie one of my favorites.

The nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. Long ago the districts waged war on the Capitol and were defeated. As part of the surrender terms, each district agreed to send one boy and one girl to appear in an annual televised event called, "The Hunger Games," a fight to the death on live TV. Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives alone with her mother and younger sister, regards it as a death sentence when she is forced to represent her district in the Games. The terrain, rules, and level of audience participation may change but one thing is constant: kill or be killed.

No Easy Day: The Firsthand Account of the Mission That Killed Osama Bin Laden

For the first time anywhere, the first-person account of the planning and execution of the Bin Laden raid from a Navy Seal who confronted the terrorist mastermind and witnessed his final moments.
From the streets of Iraq to the rescue of Captain Richard Phillips in the Indian Ocean, and from the mountaintops of Afghanistan to the third floor of Osama Bin Laden’s compound, operator Mark Owen of the U.S. Naval Special Warfare Development Group--commonly known as SEAL Team Six-- has been a part of some of the most memorable special operations in history, as well as countless missions that never made headlines.
No Easy Day puts readers alongside Owen and the other handpicked members of the twenty-four-man team as they train for the biggest mission of their lives. The blow-by-blow narrative of the assault, beginning with the helicopter crash that could have ended Owen’s life straight through to the radio call confirming Bin Laden’s death, is an essential piece of modern history.
In No Easy Day, Owen also takes readers onto the field of battle in America’s ongoing War on Terror and details the selection and training process for one of the most elite units in the military. Owen’s story draws on his youth in Alaska and describes the SEALs’ quest to challenge themselves at the highest levels of physical and mental endurance. With boots-on-the-ground detail, Owen describes numerous previously unreported missions that illustrate the life and work of a SEAL and the evolution of the team after the events of September 11. In telling the true story of the SEALs whose talents, skills, experiences, and exceptional sacrifices led to one of the greatest victories in the War on Terror, Mark Owen honors the men who risk everything for our country, and he leaves readers with a deep understanding of the warriors who keep America safe.
