[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a man, I found the book helpful to realizing some of my own blind spots with respect to female colleagues and also to making sure that I am a "real partner" to my wife and share the household duties 50/50.  These aren't revolutionary concepts, and no she isn't exactly breaking new ground.  But I thought the book did a good job of highlighting some of the imbalances a lot of well-intentioned men are sometimes oblivious to.  It was something that helped me learn and grow.

I honestly didn't find the book preachy or grating like so many of you obviously did.  I don't think she ever said anything like "success is easy if you just do 1, 2, and 3.  I interpreted her message more as "These are some obstacles that ambitious, driven women are facing in today's workplace.  Here are some strategies/devices to deal with them."

Did the book solve all of women's problems?  No.  Was it a useful contribution? Yes.

It is so easy to criticize and condemn.  It's much harder to do something constructive.[/quote]

I am the poster that was 50/50 on liking her book. Yes, she has some good points. But the other 50 is a real turn off, imagine to us her comments sound like this... when you have parent die and you are crying and grieving and Sheryl says "oh I know how you feel my cat died" .... CAT ... she is trying to be empathetic and helpful but it's like UM WHAT.[/quote]
