The 10 Habits of Highly Successful Women is a collection of essays revealing the secret career habits and hard-won wisdom of a diverse group of accomplished women, selected by Rachel Sklar and Glynnis MacNicol, co-founders of TheLi.st, the well-known network dedicated to elevating professional women. Perhaps no group has experienced more upheaval in the last few decades than working women. In this series, each woman explores the one key habit or lesson that has made the difference in forging her career and attaining professional success. Whether it’s CNN personality Sally Kohn’s exploration of emotional correctness or What Not To Wear's Stacy London on the wear and tear of our aspirational “Culture of Extraordinary”; why millennial Nisha Chittal won't tell you her age and what Cindy Gallop learned about sex while dating men half hers; how lessons from waitressing led Jenna Wortham to The New York Times or how Paula Froelich perfected the art of the “controlled burn” to start over after the end of a dream career—these essays uncover the challenges and delights of chasing, and finding, success in work and life as a professional woman.This book was initially released in episodes as a Kindle Serial. All episodes are now available for immediate download as a complete book.

This book would be a lot better with a different title, pretty much any other title. How about "Chicks who made it big in the tech boom" or "Several financially well-off women speak randomly"? It is not about habits at all, and some of the advice (like "always say "yes" and "never let people know how young you are" could just as easily lead to failure as success. The book is very sparse when it comes to actual actionable advice. It did help with values clarification, since some of these women may make a lot of money, but some can't write worth a damn and at least one has an annoying, cutesy, self-aggrandizing style. It that is the price of success, I don't think I want it.
HAving a strong background in management, and having read numerous books on management, I felt this book left a lot to be desired. It rambled a lot, did not clearly get it's points across and several chapters seemed to focus on the individual's confused life. A successful individual has more specific goals and focus. Those essential steps and qualities were not always stated and would not help a novice become successful.
First couple chapters are good, after that it is more of just stories of successful women, rather than habits you can learn from.
THIS IS NOT a very good title for the book and I am bothered by the obvious "grab" from Steven Covey which I assume was done to entice you to buy- thinking it must be the same caliber. IMO it is not. This is just a bunch of stories for the most part and really basic stuff like "just breath." Sorry I wasted $3.99 and my time.
Many of these essays were interesting and funny, while also inspiring. However, some were off base, it was tough to glean what the habit or advice was. The situations, especially the time period during which some of the writers were in their early careers, was very different than what young women currently face. It seems irresponsible to advise women to spend money they dont have (or presumably rack up credit cards) for example. The environment the target reader is experiencing is much different than that in the early aughts. It would have been nice to read more practical, timely tips than those that are drawn from what seems like the writer's lucky breaks, connections and special circumstances.
First essay spoke to habits. The rest not. I was expecting a book with habits and application, more like Covey's. Instead I read about how successful, but burned out a twenty something was, and a rambling piece about love sex vs. porn sex.
The essays you'll find in this series don't just focus on being a successful woman, they teach you how to be a better human. What's unique here is that you're learning these life lessons from a diverse group of women who have all achieved success in their chosen fields. Certainly more wisdom than you can get in a cup of coffee (which in my city is more expensive than this series).
Not bad- however, these are more miniature biographies than tips or habits. There is some pretty interesting information in here, and I do enjoy reading about successful women. They’re all interesting women and their chapters are well-written.
