Success is about trusting your instincts and following your gut, knowing which rules to follow and which to break. This book shows that success doesn't come from where you went to college or how popular you were in school.

Description

'A millennial alternative to Lean In' - New York Magazine

The first thing Sophia Amoruso sold online wasn't fashion. It was a stolen book. At age 17, she was a dumpster-diving, shoplifting anarchist. By 29, she was the founder and CEO of Nasty Gal, a $100 million plus fashion empire.

Filled with brazen wake-up calls ('You are not a special snowflake'), frank observations ('Failure is your invention'), and behind-the-scenes stories from Nasty Gal's meteoric rise, #Girlboss is more than just Amoruso's story. It is a book for anyone seeking a unique path to success - even when that path is winding as all hell and lined with naysayers.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

The book is widely seen as a motivational and empowering memoir that combines elements of a business guide and girl-power manifesto. Sophia Amoruso shares her journey from humble beginnings to becoming a successful entrepreneur, encouraging readers to embrace their individuality and pursue their ambitions. Despite its humorous and candid tone, it offers practical advice for young women seeking to carve their own path in business, often compared to Sheryl Sandberg's Lean In but with a focus on those who are yet to make it.
