Publisher's Summary
A groundbreaking women's leadership expert and popular conference speaker gives women the practical skills to voice and implement the changes they want to see - in themselves and in the world.
In her coaching and programs for women, Tara Mohr saw how women were "playing small" in their lives and careers, were frustrated by it, and wanted to "play bigger". She has devised a proven way for them to achieve their dreams by playing big from the inside out. Mohr's work helping women play bigger has earned acclaim from the likes of Maria Shriver and Jillian Michaels, and has been featured on the Today show, CNN, and a host of other media outlets.
Sheryl Sandberg's Lean In gave many women new awareness about what kinds of changes they need to make to become more successful; yet most women need help implementing them. In the tradition of Brené Brown's Daring Greatly, Playing Big provides real, practical tools to help women quiet self-doubt, identify their callings, "unhook" from praise and criticism, unlearn counterproductive good girl habits, and begin taking bold action.
While not all women aspire to end up in the corner office, every woman aspires to something. Playing Big fills a major gap among women's career books; it isn't just for corporate women. The audiobook offers tools to help every woman play bigger - whether she's an executive, community volunteer, artist, or stay-at-home mom.
Thousands of women across the country have been transformed by Mohr's program, and now this book makes the ideas and practices available to everyone who is ready to play big.
What the critics say
"At last. At last this very important book has been written, encouraging women to take up all the creative space they deserve in the world. I hope it will empower legions of women to step into their greatness. I couldn't be happier about this publication." (Elizabeth Gilbert)
"Tara and I share the same philosophy: we hope inspirational ideas will ignite you to go out and make an impact in your own life. Whether she’s writing for mariashriver.com or urging others to become a change agent through her book, Tara is practicing the Playing Big words she preaches." (Maria Shriver)
"Tara Mohr offers a new model of leadership, one that acknowledges and embraces the complex realities of women's lives. She shows us how to take the leap, even when we don't feel ready. Playing Big is the perfect catalyst for any woman who wants to go outside her comfort zone, find her voice, and embrace the biggest possibilities of her life." (Kelly McGonigal, PhD, author of The Willpower Instinct)

A must read for women stepping into their own!
This is a book not to be skipped over if you are struggling to find your voice, or even to overcome those unknown obstacles on your path. I have listened 3 times already and will go back again

Great book
Well written and read. As someone who has experienced so much of what is covered in the book working in a predominantly male industry, I really enjoyed it. I appreciated that it doesn't put men down (I've had some exceptional leaders/mentors who were men, and some extremely toxic women who offered no guidance or support when it was literally in their job description to do so). I wouldn't say the concepts are groundbreaking, but rather makes the reader feel heard, and offers some tools to release yourself from self doubt. The "future you" meditation was my favorite part.

Wasn't for me, maybe it's for you!
Book seems to target people with mediocre lives, beginners in self reflection, and need help taking themselves to the next level. I feel bad saying this, but the truth is I've never disliked a book as much as I disliked this audiobook. While a woman, I am the wrong target audience for this book. Why did I listen to this audiobook? Book club. I especially recommend against this book for people with PTSD or mental health problems.
The book was obnoxious. The wording she used childish (ie tummy instead of stomach). Her voice grating. Her view on the world felt naive and like a teenager with a lack of ownership or responsibility. Maybe that is her way to reach out to audience members who feel stuck in their roles in life and the message is to help guide people to the contrary. Her five minute anecdotes represent women as weak and powerless (with a sentence or two on how they overcome it). Struggles are represented as women's problems and not just problems that people of all walks of life face. There are good points in the book hidden among endless examples and anecdotes that could've been summarized into 10-20 minute talk without all the fluff.
#Audible1 Tara if you read this, I'm sorry for the harsh review. You do you. You can't please everyone. Clearly lots of people like your work.
