你可能不知道，你限制了自己。
如果你毫無畏懼，你會怎麼做？

你是不是也曾質疑自己的能力、壓抑自己的表現，
在該積極進取時反而退縮？
你是否也因要兼顧工作與家庭感到分身乏術？

生涯，從來不是只有上下的單向道階梯！
這本書將幫助你，
看到壓抑自己的盲點、突破限縮自己的內心障礙，
讓你 自信表現，挺身而進！

桑德伯格是臉書營運長，自2007年起連續6年獲選為《財星》雜誌50大最有權力的商業女性，並榮登2012年及2013年《時代》雜誌全球百大影響力人物。2010年12月，她在TEDTalks發表激勵人心的演說，談到很多女性在無意間縮限了自己的工作生涯。她鼓勵女性「往桌前坐」、接受挑戰、積極追求各種目標。這場精彩演講掀起了一股風潮，至今累積400萬次的點閱。

桑德伯格從她自己二十年工作經歷，問了一個最關鍵的問題：為什麼到了今天，位居高階領導位置的女性，還是如此稀少？在已開發國家中，包括台灣在內，女性大學畢業生早已超過50％，在競爭最激烈的法學院的比例也超過男性，但女性在全球議會、企業高層、董事席次所佔的比例都不到20％，除了一些社會制度因素、女性生育的生理條件之外，女性是不是自己限制了自己？

在本書中，桑德伯格延續她在TEDTalks掀起的話題，首度完整公開從成長背景、哈佛求學經驗、世界銀行助理、麥肯錫顧問、美國財政部幕僚長、谷歌副總裁到臉書營運長，一路觀察、體驗到的職場問題，並點出關鍵應對心態，同時旁徵博引扎實的研究資料，釐清職場女性在生活與各種選擇中所面臨的層層迷霧和偏誤。桑德伯格詳述個人的選擇與錯誤，大方分享她為自己、事業及家人做抉擇所面對的日常交戰、掙扎。此外，她也針對談判技巧、尋找人生導師，以及如何打造令人滿意的工作生涯等議題提出實用的建議。桑德伯格鼓勵女性設下界線，別再相信「兼顧一切」的迷思。對於女性如何結合事業成就與自我實現，桑德伯格提供了具體的建議，並證明男性如果支持女性同事和伴侶，也能跟著受惠。

本書以幽默、睿智的筆觸撰寫，是鼓舞人心的行動呼籲，也是個人成長的藍圖。
如果你對自己有所期待，這本書就是為你所寫！
如果你在思索生涯，這本書將幫你懷抱夢想、尋找火箭型機會；
如果你身為主管，這本書將幫你建立各展所長的團隊、善用坦誠溝通的力量；
如果你為人父母，這本書將幫你突破刻板印象的局限，給孩子更寬廣的天空！

未來，取決於我們興趣與熱情，而非性別。
突破內心的障礙，挺身而進！

Thirty years after women became 50 percent of the college graduates in the United States, men still hold the vast majority of leadership positions in government and industry. This means that women’s voices are still not heard equally in the decisions that most affect our lives. In Lean In, Sheryl Sandberg examines why women’s progress in achieving leadership roles has stalled, explains the root causes, and offers compelling, commonsense solutions that can empower women to achieve their full potential.

Sandberg is the chief operating officer of Facebook and is ranked on Fortune’s list of the 50 Most Powerful Women in Business and as one of Time’s 100 Most Influential People in the World. In 2010, she gave an electrifying TEDTalk in which she described how women unintentionally hold themselves back in their careers. Her talk, which became a phenomenon and has been viewed more than two million times, encouraged women to “sit at the table,” seek challenges, take risks, and pursue their goals with gusto.

In Lean In, Sandberg digs deeper into these issues, combining personal anecdotes, hard data, and compelling research to cut through the layers of ambiguity and bias surrounding the lives and choices of working women. She recounts her own decisions, mistakes, and daily struggles to make the right choices for herself, her career, and her family. She provides practical advice on negotiation techniques, mentorship, and building a satisfying career, urging women to set boundaries and to abandon the myth of “having it all.” She describes specific steps women can take to combine professional achievement with personal fulfillment and demonstrates how men can benefit by supporting women in the workplace and at home.

Written with both humor and wisdom, Sandberg’s book is an inspiring call to action and a blueprint for individual growth. Lean In is destined to change the conversation from what women can’t do to what they can.
