"The reason I chose this book, The Girl's Guide, was because I originally wanted to use the book to assist me with deciding whether or not I wanted to change career.
The book is a self-help book, and inside of the book, they have different web tools that you can go to, and they also have stories from different women who have also encouraged the authors, and so that's what the book is about. The decision that it helped me make was how to improve some things that I was doing wrong, and also it gave me a check and balance as to what I could do to improve.
What I liked most about the book was the web tools, because I enjoy going on the internet and finding different things. They have -- they talk about social networking like Linkedin, which a lot of people know about. They also told you to FindYourSpot, which was a reference guide that tells in different towns. So that was one of the other things I had thought about, was moving into a different town.
It was specifically geared to women because it talks about women's issues, and it also talks about how different women had approached different situations from a woman's perspective and not just, you know, pull up your bootstraps and if you do this.
I would recommend this to anybody who is interested in improving themselves at work, anyone who is starting off at work and anyone who is interested in just motivating themselves if they're at a lull in their career.
I would rate this book at four stars."
