The new Lean In, from the multi-award-winning Founder and CEO of national non-profit Girls Who Code and New York Times bestselling author Reshma Saujani. 'We are raising our boys to be brave, but our girls to be perfect. And this is holding us back.' Imagine if you lived without the fear of failure, without the fear of not measuring up. If you no longer felt the need to stifle your thoughts and swallow what you really want to say in order to please and appease others. If you could stop berating yourself mercilessly for human mistakes, let go of the guilt and the strangling pressure to be perfect, and just breathe. What if, in every decision you faced, you made the brave choice or took the bolder path. Would you be happier? Would you impact the world in the ways you dream you can? I believe the answer to both is yes.

      The founder and CEO of Girls Who Code, Reshma Saujani shares her own experiences with being brave, along with the experiences of other females, to empower women to accomplish their goals. She is relatable and sincere when speaking of times she decided to be brave instead of indecisive and is convincing in reassuring listeners that the act of pursuing is essential to achievement. Saujani offers a warm and encouraging tone when explaining the importance of practicing fearlessness, taking chances, and not being afraid to fail. She is especially nurturing when explaining the necessity of being willing to fall short of perfection, while being particularly lively when voicing ways women can be more assertive.
