Summary of Lean In

Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead is the 2013 book by Sheryl Sandberg, the Chief Operating Officer of Facebook. In the book, she examines and challenges the entrenched societal expectations about women and their work-life balance. Sandberg lays out a clear plan of action for helping women equalize their roles in the workforce and gain more opportunities for advancement. She emphasizes the strength of a "lean in" approach and urges women to take advantage of the support networks they have around them. Sandberg also covers more personal topics, such as finding one's purpose, reacting to criticism, and making time for leisure to achieve a balanced life. Ultimately, her goal is for women to use their power, voices, and positions to create a better and more equal future for all.
