Erma Bombeck once said, “When I stand before God at the end of my life, I’d hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left and could say, ‘I used everything you gave me.’” How each woman defines success might be a personal matter, but there are certain gems of wisdom we can all share.

Overview

Erma Bombeck once said, “When I stand before God at the end of my life, I’d hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left and could say, ‘I used everything you gave me.’” How each woman defines success might be a personal matter, but there are certain gems of wisdom we can all share. Editor Ellyn Spragins invited women from all walks of life to write letters to their younger selves, filled with the knowledge they wish they’d had before beginning their own journeys. Including tales from trailblazers like legendary news journalist Barbara Walters, finance expert Suze Orman, pro golfer Annika Sorenstam, fashion designer Kate Spade, newscaster Soledad O’Brien, and fashion icon Diane von Furstenberg, these letters highlight what helped each woman get ahead, what got in her way, and what really mattered.

Whether they address launching a company, running for office, starting a family, or succeeding in less conventional ways, these voices will both move and inspire any woman who counts herself a success-in-the-making.

    You'll laugh and cry....so moving!

    Ellyn Spragins does it again with this newest book on success...more than career success, the stories detail how lives well-lived can inspire us all. Perfect timing for young people graduating from college into the real world -- the stories from an amazing array of personalities will make you smile, laugh out loud, and shed a few tears as you realize that it's not luck, but hard work and personality that moves us each forward into our own definition of success. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
