Reviews of my book, hooray
Here is a list of some reviews of my book, Brazen Careerist: The New Rules for Success. I really appreciate that so many people took the time to review the book. Thank you! (There are more reviews than these — I’ll post another list next Monday.)

An amazing little volume that should be on everyone’s bookshelf.
Rowan Manahan at Fortify Your Oasis
Brazen Careerist covers the ground that other careers books shy away from. It is pertinent (sometimes impertinent!), immediately applicable and a joy to read. If you are looking for ideas to synchronize your working and personal lives into a “harmonious adventure” that you pursue on your own terms, then get yourself a copy. Penelope never disappoints.
Cody McKibben at Pursuing Excellence
Penelope’s new book, Brazen Careerist, picks up where Tom [Peters] left off. The name not only describes Trunk’s bold approach to work, but it delivers on its promise to key readers in to the important ingredients in a recipe for delicious career success!
Diane Danielson at Downtown Women’s Club
Managers and more senior employees should take a gander too. It might shake up some of your beliefs, but it also might help you better understand why young people think a bit differently about their careers.
Marshall Sponder at Web Metrics Guru
Brazen Careerist is much different than any career book I’ve seen before this. Penelope cuts her own path and makes a convincing case for her approach to the workplace.
Frank Roche at KnowHR Blog
Brazen Careerist is a book that should be read by everyone under 40 who wants to know the real deal in corporate America. And it should scare the crap out of those over 40.”
Ramit Sethi at I Will Teach You To Be Rich
She has attitude. I mean that in a good way. You can actually hear her in her writing.
Maureen Rogers at Pink Slip
Brazen Careerist is an advice book that is actually well-written, sharp, and funny.
And here are earlier reviews
By Guy Kawasaki, Bob Sutton and Keith Ferrazzi
I really liked Brazen Careerist – and I did read the whole book – no skimming! Brazen Careerist is based on Penelope’s first hand experience – I like that approach.
The advice was really different than what I expected, refreshing – direct; I like that approach and recommend her book. Also, I reviewed Brazen Careerist here – http://www.webmetricsguru.com/2007/04/review_of_brazen_careerist_by.html
It seems like you have great reviews for a great book! I like a little attitude in books, it gives a personal feel to it.
She didn’t ask for your opinion because you were a top-flight employee, she asked for your opinion because you, too, were a female.
You’re a bit of a cynic.
