to Lean In." (New York Magazine). "A compellingly motivational read." (The Telegraph). "The book you need in your life." (Marie Claire). This is the winner of the 2014 Goodreads Choice Award for Best Business Book. In the space of ten years, Sophia Amoruso has gone from high-school dropout to founder and Executive Chairman of Nasty Gal, one of the fastest-growing retailers in the world. Sophia's never been a typical executive, or a typical anything, and she's written #Girlboss for other girls like her: outsiders (and insiders) seeking a unique path to success. Filled with brazen wake-up calls, cunning and frank observations, and behind-the-scenes stories from Nasty Gal's meteoric rise, #Girlboss covers a lot of ground. It proves that success doesn't come from where you went to college or how popular you were in school. Success is about trusting your instincts and following your gut, knowing which rules to follow and which to break. Inspiring, motivating and empowering, #Girlboss will give you the kick up the ass you need to reach your potential.
