Resumen del Editor

From the woman who has built an empire of badass female entrepreneurs comes the long-awaited sequel to Girl Code.

Cara Alwill Leyba's riveting voice and kinship with her audience drove the self-published success of Girl Code, a book that encouraged women to support each other in the business community. Now her many fans are ready to take the next step: building sustainable confidence from the ground up.

Most women who are insecure look for the equivalent of a sugar rush, such as telling themselves they're better than other people or changing the way they look. But those tricks won't protect them from losing confidence in the future. Neither will simply being outspoken and aggressive, if those traits aren't authentic.

Leyba has three simple but provocative arguments. First, confidence doesn't come from "winning"—it comes comes from ignoring the success narratives we absorb from magazines and movies. Second, the impressions people make on others depend on their personalities, not their looks—so there's no reason to use the word ugly, ever. Finally, the foundation of confidence comes from "audacious auditing", Leyba's term for identifying toxic people and habits and getting rid of them.

Written in her chatty older-sister voice, and full of revealing stories from every stage of Cara's life, Like She Owns the Place will help listeners rewire their minds to be more confident. Take it from the woman who quit her job at MTV, dyed her hair pink, and made herself a best-selling author—there's a path to becoming stronger and happier.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Urgent, powerful, and generous, this book gives you a chance to pick yourself. Cara spares us empty reassurance and offers something much more valuable: useful truth, and a plan for finding the confidence you deserve." (Seth Godin, author of Linchpin)

“Cara’s latest book is a gift to women everywhere. She’s at her most authentic and vulnerable as she inspires us to embrace every single aspect of ourselves—the real key to stepping into our power. My copy has become a precious journal I’ll refer to again and again. Bravo!” (Romi Neustadt, author of Get Over Your Damn Self)

“In Like She Owns the Place, Cara's vulnerability and honesty are the perfect reminder that what makes us great is not how flawless we can seem—it's how comfortable we are with ourselves.” (Chelsea Fagan co-founder and author of The Financial Diet)

Confidence Boosting!

I did not think I’d enjoy this book at first, because I felt like I’d exhausted my need for girl power, self love books. But I am glad I stuck it out. It improved my mood everyday after listening to it, and made me feel empowered. Her voice is easy to listen to, and it isn’t too long or self-indulgent. Good read for young women in search of a little boost

So inspiring!

Listen to this book if you need a little boost in life or if you just want to start your day right. So awesome and inspiration. Thank you for such a great listen!!

My new lifestyle bible!!

Absolutely loved this book beginning to end! The information can be used on a daily basis. The author is ‘real’ and honest about herself and life in general. Totally recommend!!

Excellent Motivational Book!

Great for any woman looking to build her confidence. I love her power mantras and the simplistic for how she presents the material. Strongly recommend this book to anyone continuing to grow in personal development!

A good read

I loved most parts of this book. Some of the ideas were what I actually do already to help me regulate myself and work hard for my dreams. It felt good to hear it from a professional. Some ideas sounded a little selfish to me like kicking friends out of your life. I think everyone we encounter has a message for us to help us improve, or reach our dreams. When we hate people, we need to think, be patient and learn from them, not be rude and kick then out of our lives.
Overall, it was a good read with plenty of bubbly ideas. Thanks Cara!
