Review
Bonnie Hammer's 15 Lies Women Are Told at Work feels like a backstage pass to the real, unfiltered world of career advancement. Drawing on five decades in the male-dominated media industry, she turns her own story-from a production assistant with a dog as her first responsibility into a top executive at NBCUniversal-into a masterclass for every woman who's ever felt held back by old myths.
What makes this book stand out is its honesty and humor. Hammer doesn't sugarcoat the lies: "don't mix work with play," "talk is cheap," or "you can have it all." Instead, she replaces them with practical truths that feel both revolutionary and attainable. Each chapter is a bite-size lesson-easy to read, easy to apply-yet backed by research and real-world examples.
The tone is conversational yet authoritative; you'll hear the same candid voice in Chelsea Clinton's praise or Forbes' glowing endorsement. Hammer's advice isn't just for climbing the ladder-it's about reshaping your mindset so that ambition doesn't feel like a betrayal of self. She encourages women to embrace their whole selves, blend play with purpose, and recognize when "trusting your gut" means listening to data as well.
For anyone stuck in the endless cycle of workplace myths, this book offers a fresh perspective that feels both empowering and grounded. It's not just another career guide; it's a manifesto for women who want to lead without compromising who they are. If you're ready to ditch the half-truths and step into your own power, Hammer's 15 lies will be the catalyst you need.
