For all the female entrepreneurs, professionals, and ‘side hustlers’, Girl Code can be the book for you.

Written in a “girlfriend-to-girlfriend” style, Girl Code also promotes the importance of women supporting other women in their entrepreneurial goals.

Author: Brené Brown
Published: December 2015
Goodreads Rating: 4.2
Amazon Rating: 4.6
In this powerful and inspiring book, Dr. Brené Brown tackles the issue of shame and vulnerability. Daring Greatly gets rid of the widely-accepted myth that vulnerability is a weakness and shows that when we turn away from being vulnerable—or from revealing our true selves—we distance ourselves from the experiences that give purpose and meaning to our lives.
After years of rigorous social research, Daring Greatly invites us, readers, to take courage in showing up and letting ourselves be seen, and shows that without vulnerability, there can be no real connection or growth.

Author: Ariana Huffington
Published: March 2017
Goodreads Rating: 3.4
Amazon Rating: 3.8
The Sleep Revolution is different from all the books in this list—and in a good way. In this fast-paced, perpetually-stressed, and sleep-deprived world, Huffington shifts the focus back to the importance of a good night’s sleep. The Sleep Revolution aims to demolish our cultural mindset that a night of good, complete sleep is time wasted, and shows that a lack of sleep not only compromises our health but also damages our personal and work lives.
With research-backed discussions and recommendations from leading scientists, Huffington offers solutions on how we can achieve better and more restorative sleep that can power us up to transform our lives.
Author: Nathalia Holt
Published: 2017
Goodreads Rating: 3.8
Amazon Rating: 4.5
Produced after extensive research and interviews, Holt’s Rise of the Rocket Girls tells the story of the female “human computers” who worked at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California during the 1940s and 50s. These group of brilliant young women computed rocket trajectories with only pencils, paper, and their mathematical prowess—which has transformed rocket design and, later on, made the exploration of the solar system possible.
In this well-researched book, Holt puts the spotlight on the roles women play in science—what they’ve done in the past, and what greater things they can do in the future.

Tharp offers systematic, inspiring, and encouraging guide readers can follow and integrate into their own creative processes to help them reach their fullest creative potential.
Author: Ruth Reichl
Published: 2010
Goodreads Rating: 4
Amazon Rating: 4.3
Not a self-help book, but Reichl’s well-crafted memoir Tender at the Bone points readers back to the most important ingredient in entrepreneurship—passion. People often relate entrepreneurship with the drive for financial success that they forget about passion, but Reichl proves that professional success can come from love and affection for your craft.
While it’s a witty and compelling chronicle of Reichl’s coming-of-age, it’s also an inspiring story of how a culinary aficionado’s love for food and discovering her own taste led her to become one of the most well-known food writers in America.
Author: Anne-Marie Slaughter
Published: 2015
Goodreads Rating: 3.9 4.5
After Anne-Marie Slaughter’s article, “Why Women Still Can’t Have It All” appeared and went viral, she has become a leading voice in work-life balance discussions as well as in debates on women’s changing roles in the workplace.
In Unfinished Business, Slaughter addresses the issue of true gender equality, both in the workplace and at home. Backed with extensive research and written in a warm, down-to-earth tone, Slaughter debunks all the “half-truths” young women are told about “having it all”. The book is also filled with wise and funny anecdotes, effectively making her one of the most trusted and admired voices on the issue.

For all the female entrepreneurs, professionals, and ‘side hustlers’, Girl Code can be the book for you.

Author: Brené Brown
Published: December 2015
Goodreads Rating: 4.2
Amazon Rating: 4.6
In this powerful and inspiring book, Dr. Brené Brown tackles the issue of shame and vulnerability. Daring Greatly gets rid of the widely-accepted myth that vulnerability is a weakness and shows that when we turn away from being vulnerable—or from revealing our true selves—we distance ourselves from the experiences that give purpose and meaning to our lives.
After years of rigorous social research, Daring Greatly invites us, readers, to take courage in showing up and letting ourselves be seen, and shows that without vulnerability, there can be no real connection or growth.

Author: Ariana Huffington
Published: March 2017
Goodreads Rating: 3.4
Amazon Rating: 3.8
The Sleep Revolution is different from all the books in this list—and in a good way. In this fast-paced, perpetually-stressed, and sleep-deprived world, Huffington shifts the focus back to the importance of a good night’s sleep. The Sleep Revolution aims to demolish our cultural mindset that a night of good, complete sleep is time wasted, and shows that a lack of sleep not only compromises our health but also damages our personal and work lives.
With research-backed discussions and recommendations from leading scientists, Huffington offers solutions on how we can achieve better and more restorative sleep that can power us up to transform our lives.
Author: Nathalia Holt
Published: 2017
Goodreads Rating: 3.8
Amazon Rating: 4.5
Produced after extensive research and interviews, Holt’s Rise of the Rocket Girls tells the story of the female “human computers” who worked at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California during the 1940s and 50s. These group of brilliant young women computed rocket trajectories with only pencils, paper, and their mathematical prowess—which has transformed rocket design and, later on, made the exploration of the solar system possible.
In this well-researched book, Holt puts the spotlight on the roles women play in science—what they’ve done in the past, and what greater things they can do in the future.
Author: Grace Bonney

Tharp offers systematic, inspiring, and encouraging guide readers can follow and integrate into their own creative processes to help them reach their fullest creative potential.
Author: Ruth Reichl
Published: 2010
Goodreads Rating: 4
Amazon Rating: 4.3
Not a self-help book, but Reichl’s well-crafted memoir Tender at the Bone points readers back to the most important ingredient in entrepreneurship—passion. People often relate entrepreneurship with the drive for financial success that they forget about passion, but Reichl proves that professional success can come from love and affection for your craft.
While it’s a witty and compelling chronicle of Reichl’s coming-of-age, it’s also an inspiring story of how a culinary aficionado’s love for food and discovering her own taste led her to become one of the most well-known food writers in America.
Author: Anne-Marie Slaughter
Published: 2015
Goodreads Rating: 3.9 4.5
After Anne-Marie Slaughter’s article, “Why Women Still Can’t Have It All” appeared and went viral, she has become a leading voice in work-life balance discussions as well as in debates on women’s changing roles in the workplace.
In Unfinished Business, Slaughter addresses the issue of true gender equality, both in the workplace and at home. Backed with extensive research and written in a warm, down-to-earth tone, Slaughter debunks all the “half-truths” young women are told about “having it all”. The book is also filled with wise and funny anecdotes, effectively making her one of the most trusted and admired voices on the issue.
