Purchase options and add-ons

Why are women so often overlooked and underpaid? In Knowing Your Value, the prequel to her new book Grow Your Value, bestselling author Mika Brzezinski takes an in-depth look at how women today achieve their deserved recognition and financial worth.

Prompted by her own experience as co-host of Morning Joe, Mika interviewed a number of prominent women across a wide range of industries on their experience moving up in their fields. Mika shares the surprising stories of such power players as presidential adviser Valerie Jarrett, comedian Susie Essman, writer and director Nora Ephron, Facebook's Sheryl Sandberg, television personality Joy Behar, and many others. Mika also gets honest answers from the likes of Donny Deutsch, Jack Welch, Donald Trump, and others about why women are paid less, and what pitfalls women face -- and play into.

Knowing Your Value blends personal stories with the latest research on why many women don't negotiate their compensation, why negotiating aggressively usually backfires, the real reasons why the gender wage gap persists, and what can be done about it.

Written in Mika's brutally honest, funny, and self-deprecating style, Knowing Your Value is a vital book for professional women of all ages.

The lessons in this book are priceless for women! We tend to doubt ourselves, have imposter syndrome, undervalue our skills. This book explains why that is a mistake and how men do the opposite. It is a guide to knowing your value and asking for what you are worth. Highly recommend for all ages of female professionals.

Easy Read--Relatable Stories from Various Women
Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2012
Verified Purchase
After reading the bashing reviews, I expected to find a lot more self-promotion in this book but it wasn't like that at all, in my opinion. She talked about her own experiences a lot simply because those experiences led her to the path to write this book and it makes it more relatable. I found myself cringing as I identified with her or the women who contributed to her book because of my own similar missteps in my career. Although there was a lot of her sort of sharing her own introspective views, she did tie in a number of studies, etc., which I found interesting. I also liked that there was somewhat of a balance, that she didn't take the "women are victims" viewpoint, there is much we can do to advance our careers and often why we are held back is because of our own choices and lack of assertiveness compared to our male counterparts (don't hate me for saying it, the evidence shows this, we need to be honest with ourselves if it's going to get better.) But she didn't let the good ol' boys club completely off the hook either. I found it to be an authentic and balanced perspective based on both personal anecdotes and empirical research.

This was helpful to me as I prepare for negotiations for a promotion. It was like getting a pep talk from a girlfriend who has given me that extra push to be fact-based and to not undervalue myself, both internally, and externally as these very important career decisions are being made.

I've been studying this issue of equality in the workplace for a while now and found this to be another piece of the puzzle that brings the bigger picture into focus.

I've seen other reviews that zero in on Mika's annoying traits/comments/decisions and I will admit that I don't particularly like her, but that's really beside the point. What this book does best is either make women aware of the common traps we fall into or bring the awareness we already had to our consciousness again. I think we all can benefit from reinforcement of these messages so we don't lose sight of them and so we remember to stay continuously vigilant in our careers.

BTW, relatively short book, about 185 pages. Quick read.

BRZEZINSKI ULTRUISTIC; LIKE ALL THINGS AT ONCE, HARD TO PUT DOWN! BOOK JUST TAKES YOU TO AN IMPORTANT PLACE. A MUST FOR "ALL."
Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2011
Verified Purchase
We just had to say something. This book reminds us all to see the good in oneself and to rethink your situation, whateever it may be. Know who you are and let no one re-define you. Mrs. Brzezinski awakens us all (sending this to two grand-nephews) to remember you have a backbone. The intentions of her writings are so genuine, ultruistic and from the heart. As you read, one really feels as though the author does really care, because she does.

Brzezinski has interviewd some vey substative women and men, getting them to open up to all of us, with helpful thoughts that also come from their hearts. Brzezinski has a way of bringing out the best in people, on her show and the message in the book. The message is a (good)sleeping giant, unleashed by Mrs. Brzezinski in this, if you will, wake-up call book.

Great book with an amazing message, which gives us all the kick we need, no matter your gender or age.

I am one of a few in our bookclub that pre-reads and then suggests books that have substance, truth, and somehow help people or make things better with important reminders. This book has them all and then more. It is our next book!!!

Vi ses!

I have to say that I love this book and I have been sharing the lessions from it with just about everyone I know.

The incredibility of the book, is not that what Mika, Valerie Jarrett, Arianna Huffington, Claire McCaskill or any of these other women share is unique, but rather that it isn't and that no matter how successful you are in your career, there are still areas that you can work on to perfect and even powerful, smart women can be taken advantage of.

As someone who works long hours in corporate America, I recognized a lot of myself in Mika, the "not wanting to toot your own horn," "not wanting to rock the boat," that happens a lot in the real world and we take it for granted that it is the status quo.

But there is strength in numbers, and hearing someone as articulate, learned and succesful as Mika share her personal experiences as well as that of very important and powerful women in this country, is like having a pep talk with my girls, who not just say "that's not fair" but also provides examples of how to do better.

I do not often write reviews for the many books that I read, but this one inspired me to share my thoughts.

For what it's worth, although I own the Kindle version, its the kind of book that I want to own a hard copy of and I am ordering copies as well for my female cousins.

This book is recommended for all the working women who would want to succeed beyond all the barriers that this society, organisations , co workers, managers, family create. Go for it. You are more than you think and Mika has given just the right analogies to decode what is really needed to be successful . The strings of empowerment aren't controlled by others but YOU.
