Published in November, I Call Myself a Feminist contains the viewpoints of young journalists, activists, comedians, authors and engineers on what being a feminist today means to them.
It’s not necessarily a book about running a business, but it is a book that can help give business owners insight into the minds of young women who are members of the millennial generation.
I Call Myself a Feminist is 269 pages.
Emma Seppälä
In The Happiness Track, Emma Seppälä aims to demolish the theories that we need to do everything that’s thrown at us perfectly, that success depends on drive and talent and that achievement cannot come without stress.
Instead, Seppälä argues, finding happiness and fulfillment actually is the most productive thing people can do to thrive professionally, and her book contains tips for being happy.
The Happiness Track is 224 pages.
