Rent The Rejection That Changed My Life: 25+ Powerful Women on Being Let Down, Turning It Around, and Burning It Up at Work

Synopsis

Rejections don't go on a résumé, but they are part of every successful person's career. Women are more likely to ruminate and overthinkwork rejections, to the point of making them even more painful. However, in this moment, when glass ceilings still pervade office cultures around the world, it's essential for working women to see rejection not as an end but as a chapter in their career's long and varied narrative. This is where Jessica Bacal, the beloved editor of Mistakes I Made at Work, comes in with her newest book. Bacal recruited more than twenty-five accomplished and successful women from all walks of life, including Angela Duckworth, Rachel Platten, and Roz Chast, to talk about how rejection catalyzed movement in their careers-and to offer advice for anyone learning to navigate the workforce. Powerful, motivating, and endlessly quotable and shareable, The Rejection That Changed My Life will become the go-to book for women who need inspiration after dealing with rejection and failure, or those who are searching for a new beginning in the workplace.
