Tough Choices (Abridged): A Memoir Audiobook

" I'm listening to the audiobook and really enjoying it. Based on how she's been presented in the media, I didn't like her but her autobiography changed my mind. I liked hearing her story in her own words and I'm more open-minded now about the kind of business professional that she may be. "

" If you work in high tech, you'll find this an interesting read with industry insights from the inner circles of power. "

" I think it interesting that I picked up this book before reading Backfire or Perfect Enough, both of which I now plan to read. Her memoir gives us insight into Carly's history, her professional development, and her side of the HP saga. As a woman in business, I found her open and honest approach valuable. If you are not in the tech sector, it may be a bit heavy. "

" Interesting read as it foretold HP's woe (published in 2006), although most of the book was about AT&T. Liked it as it had a lot of personal stories of a person becoming a CEO. Early version of HP boardroom dysfunction was certainly interesting. Unclear was what made her so special to have become a CEO. "

" I didn't actually finish this book...got about halfway through it and then couldn't help but pick up some others I'd been dying to read. It's got some good business-y advice in it, but I'm not in dire need of that type of info, so I think I'll pass on the rest. "

" I learned what it's like to be a leader in the business world. I found it interesting that she had to learn so many new things every time she took a new job. "

" Interesting read. A great recommendation for today's woman. Enjoyed it. "

" A very good read for women leaders. But last few chapters were too detailed and defensive. Overall a good read. "

" Terrific book for people who want an honest understanding of big business and the top players. "

" An amazing story of a woman sharking her way up in a man's world. A great read for all females in the business world. "

" painfully detailed and self-absorbed. I was able to derive some good management/leadership concepts finally after fishing through the long-winded reflections of her life and career. "

" Interesting to hear her point of view on how it went down at HP. Have to take some of her comments with a grain of salt though. "

" Listened to the audio book that was read by the author and really enjoyed it. It was like listening to "lessons learned" from a mentor. "

" Loved it! great to hear about the trailblazers who paved the way for other corporate superstars like Sheryl Sandberg. Honest. Authentic. And she has tremendous character. Kudos! "

" This was a good book not only giving insight into Carly's life, but as a business manual for management. "

" No bigger fan of Carly than CARLY "

" This book change my opinion of the former HP CEO a lot. What a problem she had with such a messed up Board of Directors. "

" Book for school...had a few amusing stories of being a woman in the business world. Would I have picked it up if it wasn't a school book...no. "

" This was a good book not only giving insight into Carly's life, but as a business manual for management. "

" I learned what it's like to be a leader in the business world. I found it interesting that she had to learn so many new things every time she took a new job. "

" Interesting to hear her point of view on how it went down at HP. Have to take some of her comments with a grain of salt though. "
