I constantly recommend this book to friends, family and colleagues. It was introduced to me in a negotiations class and I learned the most from this book over any other book I was made to read in my graduate studies.

Although everyone would benefit from this book - I especially recommend this book to women for a particular reason. Female characteristics and emotions such as empathy and sensitivity can be great assets in life (don't let men tell you otherwise). However, especially in the male-dominated upper echelons of Corporate North America, it is important that we women know how to set those emotions aside and be equal powers at the discussion table. While many of us will naturally mature and learn from our mentors, this book will give you some tools that will put you way ahead of the game in terms of these critical skills.

The evidence is out there. One of the reasons women are consistently paid less than men is because we avoid or aren't as strong at the difficult conversations that matter most - negotiating our raises, advocating for ourselves and taking credit for our accomplishments.

So by that logic, reading this book will make you more money in your career :)
