Nothing is better or more inspiring than the raw truth, and Alli tells it in this book: I love how she gets deep and personal, plus her business insights are also super relevant and resonant.

Alli was the person who inspired me as a founder when I started on my journey, so it was a full-circle moment for me to read (devour!) her honest words.

From Helaine's list on business books for digging into your relationship with yourself and others - which is the key to success.
