Women make up 60% of university graduates in Greece (the equivalent percentage in the United States is 50%), but nonetheless, men continue to hold the majority of leadership positions in businesses and public administration. This means that women's voices are still not heard as loudly in decisions that affect our lives the most. In "Lean In," Sheryl Sandberg examines the reasons why women have fallen behind in conquering leadership roles, explains the primary causes, and proposes effective solutions based on common sense, which can allow women to fully develop their potential.

Sandberg is the Chief Operating Officer of Facebook and is ranked by Fortune magazine on the list of the 50 Most Powerful Women in Business and by Time as one of the 100 most influential people in the world. In 2010, she gave a groundbreaking TED talk, where she described how women unintentionally hold themselves back in their careers. Her talk, which now has over two million views on the internet, encouraged women to "sit at the table" (of meetings), seek challenges, take risks, and actively pursue their goals.

In "Lean In," Sandberg delves deeper into these issues, combining personal stories, statistical data, and serious research to dispel the clouds of confusion and bias that surround the lives and choices of working women.

She records her own decisions, mistakes, and daily efforts to make the right choices for herself, her career, and her family. She provides practical advice on negotiation techniques, mentoring, and building a satisfying career, urging women to set boundaries and abandon the myth of "having it all" and to let go of the illusion that they can do everything perfectly. She describes specific steps that women need to take to combine professional advancement with personal fulfillment and shows how men can benefit by supporting women in the workplace and at home.

Written with humor and wisdom, Sandberg's book is an inspiring call to action and a plan for personal development. "Lean In" is sure to shift the conversation from what women can't do to what they can do.
