Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Psychology of Personal Fulfillment for Women is a practical-guide to understanding how both men and women think--and how women especially can use this knowledge to improve their lives, both in the workforce and at home. Chapters address the psychological strengths that women tend to have (such as communication skills and emotional competence), how to strike a work-life balance, accurately assessing risks and challenges, and much more. Assertiveness as a skill can be a bit tricky for women given the potential of some men, or even other women, to misinterpret specific assertive behaviors. Skilled use of assertiveness, without aggression, takes practice, feedback, and attentive calibration to the specific context. Accessible and reader-friendly, Live Your Dreams, Change the World is an invaluable resource, highly recommended especially for goal-oriented women. --The Midwest Book Review Too many women find their workplace life in conflict with other aspirations they may have.
