I just started this book and have not gotten into the advice section. Eleanor's childhood biography is inspirational on its own. Her ability to overcome the emotional adversity she experienced as a child is inspiring in itself. The book is great for someone starting into leadership, like an at home mom or someone who has been trying to move from a less experienced or less public position to one where confidence and assertiveness is needed. I found it ultimately interesting, especially if you have had a lull in your career and want a pick me up. If you are in the thick of your career or are comfortable and experienced in a management position, this is too light. It was a light biography and it opened up my interest in Eleanor's life and the great depression and Roosevelt himself.(
