Sandra does a great job of making a self-investment strategy practical and accessible–I especially enjoyed the stories of other women. This is a great book for organizational leaders to make available to all their staff!”

“We all get stuck at one time or another but how long do we remain stuck? It seems many people think they are ‘stuck’ in jobs where they are unhappy, unfulfilled or powerless. Today, I see that more than ever. I would like to recommend Sandra Walston’s book to anyone that is on that “merry go round” she calls STUCK… After reading this book I am confident that you will get off the ‘merry go round’ and start living a happy and prosperous life at work and in general. As she puts it so well in her book– ‘if you want to change your life, you have to change your stories and remove the obstacles that prevent you from transcending the false self-story.’ This book is a step by step guide to living a life of leadership and courage. Kudos to Ms. Walston– your book is just what the world needs right now!”
