Disclosure: Ad. The book entitled Boss Beauty: Inspiration to Be Everything You Want is a sample of my choice from Pacific & Court. They, the publisher, and the author did not endorsed this post. I wrote this review entirely myself, and it represents my own 100% honest opinion.

What Is the Central Argument?

The central thesis of Lisa Mayer‘s new book is that every woman or girl can become everything she wants when she takes charge of her own life. The author uses real-life, famous Boss Beauties as examples who have achieved to be what they wanted to be.

What Is the Subject of Lisa Mayer‘s Boss Beauty?

The book explains what it means and takes to be a Boss Beauty. The author efficiently used visualization, real-world wisdom, and practical advices from celebrity Boss Beauties. These means teach you to find your superpower, to not give up your dream, and to embrace your passion to make a difference in your chosen field. The book clearly articulates that part of becoming a boss beauty is learning self-love, self-confidence, being fierce, and when to say NO or YES.

Does the Book Provide Evidence for the Approaches to Be Your Own Life’s CEO?

The featured women are living evidence that the outlaid approach and steps can yield success. While these women come from various social, and professional backgrounds, they have several characteristics in common:

• Self-love, and self-confidence, i.e., knowing that they are their strongest supporter, and best fan,
• Having a dream, and passion for what they do,
• Not giving up when progress is slow or they face a set-back, because they
  know that failures are part of the journey, and can teach valuable lessons for the next step(s).

How Does Boss Beauty: Inspiration to Be Everything You Want Differ from Other Self-Empowering Books?

Lisa Mayer‘s book falls in the broad category of self-empowering books like The Resilience Workbook for Women or the A Woman’s Guide to Inner Child Healing. However, Lisa’s approaches the subject quite differently. Instead of using examples of unknown persons, sheets, and questionnaires for readers to think about – often painful – past events, she uses a you-can-do-it-too attitude.

Reading how real-world celebrity boss beauties took charge of their life’s dream can be very relatable for many women. This fact is especially true for women who prefer practical examples of how-to achieve goals, over an abstract, theoretical discussion of achieving goals.

Therefore, I can highly recommend this book to everyone who prefers visual over written, relatable examples over theory. Furthermore, I believe this book may be a great read in addition to a self-study book on self-improvement for a quick daily motivation/reminder.

Take-Aways from the Review of Boss Beauty by Lisa Mayer

My take-aways from reading the book to write this review of Boss Beauty by Lisa Mayer are as follows:

• You can sit in the driver seat of their life when you start to embrace this task.
• Taking control of your own life is learnable.
• Lisa Mayer filled a gap in the field of self-empowering books with her approach of using known boss beauties, their insights, and making the book visually appealable for women of all ages who lean towards/need lead-persons, idols, and visual learning.

Furthermore, I agree with Maya Draisin (Chief Brand Officer at TIME Magazine) and Lauren Iannotti (Editor-in-Chief of Real Simple Magazine) who wrote:

Boss Beauties arrived at the development of web3 to usher women and girls into this exciting new world, and they do it with bold and colorful art that motivates and inspires. — Maya Draisin.

Lisa Mayer’s Boss Beauty, filled with thought-provoking quotes from some of the brightest women starting things, running things, and otherwise making their mark, is great inspiration for women and girls and anyone who loves them. — Lauren Iannotti.
