How to Get Sh*t Done

Why Women Need to Stop Doing Everything So They Can Achieve Anything

By: Erin Falconer

Narrated by: Lauren Fortgang

Length: 6 hrs and 38 mins

Release date: 01-02-18

Language: English

335 ratings

This audiobook, also narrated by the excellent Lauren Fortgang, is ideal for the modern woman, as traditional self-motivation guides often neglect to consider the unique cultural challenges and societal pressures women face. Women are expected to have it all and do it all—from careers to relationships, motherhood, and friendships. It can be overwhelming. Here, Falconer makes an argument for delegating, outsourcing, and putting a stop to caring about stuff that's not really important, so that you can excel at what really matters.
