Morning Joe co-host and bestselling author Mika Brzezinski tackles the challenge facing ambitious women: determining which sacrifices will lead to lasting satisfaction decades later. Brzezinski argues that knowing your worth represents only the beginning of career advancement. She distinguishes between professional value, which reflects workplace worth, and inner value, rooted in core beliefs and personal goals. Through conversations with accomplished women, insights from researchers and relationship experts, and her own professional journey, Brzezinski helps readers identify their individual success metrics. She advocates abandoning the pursuit of perfect work-life balance in favor of authentic living where career and personal life integrate rather than compete. The book provides tools for self-advocacy and financial planning while encouraging women to select objectives without apology and direct their energy accordingly. Brzezinski's approach promises relief from the cycle of feeling overwhelmed, overscheduled, and perpetually guilty.
