This edition of Sheryl Sandberg’s Lean In contains all the contents of the previous edition with an additional five chapters from experts and a passionate letter from the author to graduates. Summary of the Book Sheryl Sandberg became quite the hit with this book as it sparked conversations about women and ambition around the world and made her the leader of a global movement. This version of the book is updated with a letter from Sandberg asking graduates to find work that they love and commit to it. It also includes five exclusive chapters that tell graduates about how they can get the most out of their first jobs. These chapters will also teach them how to present their CVs and write them, give them interview practice, and help them understand salary negotiation. Women today have a right to equality at work and will agree with that, but when these women need to ask for a raise, promotion or equal pay, there is a certain level of hesitance from their end. Though the number of working women around the world has increased, the statistics still show fewer women than men. Even in the parliament, women hold just twenty percent of the seats, and only a handful of women have made it to the list of Fortune’s 500 CEOs. This book intends to stop women from worrying and lacking confidence, and aims at pushing them to the top.
