About this listen

Own It is a must-have survival guide that you can come back to time and again for immediate inspiration from the heart and soul of the trailblazing business leader and creative genius that is DVF!” (Whitney Wolfe Herd, CEO and founder of Bumble)

"Many books describe paths to success, but only Own It helps us to find our own. My friend Diane von Furstenberg gives us the biggest gift: faith in our uniqueness." (Gloria Steinem, writer, activist, and feminist organizer)

​Diane von Furstenberg, entrepreneur and philanthropist, presents her words to live by.

In an easy-to-navigate A-Z dictionary format, designed to be browsed or listened to as a whole, Own It offers listeners Diane’s well-earned wisdom for enjoying both personal and professional growth at any age.

The words included in this book are ones that have been key to DVF attaining self-awareness and realization, the fuel for all her accomplishments personally and professionally. Own It is an A-Z dictionary of life-enhancing vocabulary that is the basis of her accessible and empowering philosophy. It is a true manifesto, a compilation of words that together will empower you to attain the satisfaction and serenity you have always wanted.

"The secret of life,” DVF says, is to “Own our imperfections. Own our vulnerability; it becomes our strength. Whatever the challenge is, own it. Owning it is the first step to everything.”

not what I thought

It was not what I was expecting so I stopped the audio in the second chapter if I am not mistaken... when the definition of "Blue" was about to begin.
If you are interested in a "transcend" type dictionary, maybe this is for you.

cute

Cute listen. I was hoping for more stories. At the beginning I wasn't sure I would make it all the way through the alphabet.

Ok

This was ok but I felt like I was listening to someone reading a dictionary a lot of the time. I'd pass.
