- Find out how smart, successful and courageous women really think about their careers, their lives, their families, and their futures-all in their own voices.

More Than 85 Broads was a book I strongly suggest for any college student looking for a career, like myself.

Every women in the book had such strong passions and motivations, which made you inspired to set higher goals for yourself in the future!!!
PHENOMENAL.......2006-07-14
"More than 85 Broads" is more than just a mere collection of stories-- it documents how women overcome seemingly insurmountable difficulties, how they balance work and family life, and how they work towards and accomplish sky-high goals. To say that this book is inspirational is an understatement. I came away from the reading not just inspired, but empowered.
This book is a must-read for anyone who has ever had doubts about achieving success. I highly, highly recommend it!
Incredible stories about incredible women.......2006-07-14
This book was extraordinarily inspirational. The stories are all about real women accomplishing amazing things and made me believe in myself and my ability to achieve any goal. I was touched by the honesty, bravery and talent that all the women chronicled displayed, and think that 85Broads is truly a strength network for women.
Pay it Forward!.......2006-07-13
After reading "More than 85 Broads" I was truly overwhelmed with feelings of awe and inspiration. Not only does each woman have such courage and fire but the progression of the book is magnificent. The best thing I did was to "pay it forward" and buy the book for my mother and aunt - both of whom have been equally touched.

Great balance of idealism and practicality.......2004-12-26
As a writer on career issues, I have read dozens of career books; this is one of the very best. Author Sydney Rice distingushes herself from the hordes of career and life coaches in the world, many of whom, as a Web search will show, sell new-age snake oil with their unproven processes and their expensive tapes, seminars, and coaching contracts. A smart, experienced executive coach, Sydney, by contrast, offers a rare blend of idealism and practicality. Through a comprehensive but not overwhelming process, she shows the reader how all of one's life experiences can and should be used to make change and to reach one's full potential. It's especially inspiring for those making change at midlife, but it's applicable to any age. For more on her approach, see Sydney Rice's Web site at www.thepaperroom.com.

Alan Murray, a longtime economics reporter for The Wall Street Journal and commentator on CNBC, believes we're heading into an economic golden age. Recessions will be rare because of high-tech inventory management. Inflation will be unlikely because global competition puts steady downward pressure on prices. And yet, because of increased productivity, our wages and standard of living will steadily increase. "The New Economy is a buyer's world," he writes, and by that he means the persistent consumer will be able to get the product he wants at a price he's willing to pay. Sometimes that price will be below the actual cost of the product.
Murray does a superb job of making the task of searching for information on the tangled Web seem easy and expedient. In the section on health care in the New Economy, for example, he gives a seven-step checklist for deciding how to deal with a major medical issue. This includes Web sites you can go to for information about your doctor and hospital. The downside is that many of us are overloaded with choices, and want things to be simpler. We return to brand names we trust, even when others might be cheaper or more convenient, because we don't want to sacrifice a known quantity. Many of us stick with AT&T long distance service and high-interest credit cards just because we're too overwhelmed to choose cheaper alternatives. Ultimately, we profit from the New Economy by becoming our own brands, Murray writes. We pursue topics we're passionate about, become experts, and then find ways to profit from that expertise. Likewise, we all become investing experts and manage our own money based on the knowledge we gain online.
Murray is a smart storyteller and laces the service-oriented aspects of The Wealth of Choices with anecdotes about the people he's met in his years at the Journal, ranging from Alan Greenspan to the Gardner brothers, founders of the Motley Fool investment Web site. The result is an entertaining look at our often-bewildering new world from a writer so gifted he can find something interesting to say on virtually any topic. And any book that makes choosing a long-distance provider interesting deserves a look. --Lou Schuler
Book Description
It's Not Your Father's Economy . . .
If Adam Smith were to visit the United States today, he would be a very happy man. That invisible hand he made famous in
The Wealth of Nations two centuries ago is more limber and supple than ever. Indeed, competition in the New Economy is so intense and uncompromising that everyone, even Fortune 500 giants, must bend to it. All of this competition has lead to a wealth of choices about every aspect of our lives -- and a huge shift in how society works and who gets rewarded.
Alan Murray, the Washington bureau chief of The Wall Street Journal, shows how all of us can not only live in the New Economy, but thrive in it. The New Economy isn't just another buzz phrase, but an important change in our economic system, one that has meaning for everyone, not just the economic elite. It's creating a world in which all prices are fuzzy and everything is negotiable. If you know what you're doing, there are great gains to be made and great bargains to be had.
Starting with a thoughtful overview of how the New Economy works, Murray shows, chapter by chapter, what all of us can do to take advantage of the changes taking place in everything from health care to education to the workplace. The rules have changed -- and Murray's smart advice may surprise you:
Health Care: The most potentially traumatic change in the New Economy will be in the relationship between you and your doctor. Murray explains what you need to know to be an effective consumer in this ever-changing market.
Education: The price of a good education has gone sky high. But your mind is your most important investment. Murray shows how to cut costs and cut deals that will help you grow.
Your Job: The revolution in the workplace means that you have to think of yourself as a brand. Murray shows how to compete and excel.
Personal Finance: Your father said avoid credit cards, but he never saw rates of 3.9 percent! Murray shows how you can turn the tables and use the insane competition between credit card companies to your advantage.
Investing: "Professional money manager" is an oxymoron. They don't know much more than you! Murray provides easy-to-use rules that will let you get great returns on your own.
Retirement: Old age isn't what it used to be. Murray explains why the traditional three-legged stool (social security, private pension, personal saving) is rickety -- and what to do about it.
And much more, including websites that can help you navigate the wealth of choices, inside information on where the economy will go next, and a treasure trove of straightforward, concrete advice on thriving in a world where the consumer is king.
Anyone can talk about the New Economy. Alan Murray shows how to live in it.
The Wealth of Choices is the first book that combines the big picture and the street-smart tactics that will help you to profit and live well.
Customer Reviews:
Insightful!.......2001-03-22
Alan S. Murray's book delves into the well-worn themes of globalization and digitization, but manages to differentiate itself from the rest of the New Economy flotilla by offering up specific, practical suggestions on how consumers and business owners can cope. Many of Murray's major points have been presented more effectively in other books, such as Tom Friedman's The Lexus and the Olive Tree. That said, his advice on health care, education and career advancement in the New Economy is useful and easy to understand. So we at getAbstract recommend this book less for its broad overview of the Internet Economy and more for its common-sense wisdom for daily life in a dotcom world. (One caveat: as a result of the recent technology slump, some of Murray's analysis is already somewhat dated.)
A Wealth of Choices But Not a Wealth of Information.......2001-02-13
The Wealth of Choices is a very entertaining, highly readable introduction to how the internet will impact individual's lives. I would recommend this book if your have not read on this topic previously and would like to get your feet wet. The clear message that Murray delivers is that, for better or worse, your number of choices and responsibilities is going to explode in the future. He does this through numerous anecdotes in areas ranging from choosing your electricity supplier to choosing your hospital to choosing how to manage your retirement savings. Refreshingly, Murray notes not only the positive aspects of this increase in choices and responsibilities but also the downside (do you really want to spend a day figuring out who is lowest cost electricity provider?).
However, what this book does not provide is up-to-date practical advice for how to deal with the increase in choices. For example, the section on internet shopping is particularly dated, and fails to discuss tools such as price comparison shopping bots. Similarly, I would not base any financial decisions on the chapter on investing in the new economy. Much more thorough information on investing for the novice can be found in sources such as W.J. Bernstein's The Intelligent Asset Allocator, Siegel and Bernstein's Stocks for the Long Run, J. Bogle's Common Sense on Mutual Funds : New Imperatives for the Intelligent Investor or even online.......... This is probably the biggest flaw in The Wealth of Choices-there is no major listing of additional references to get more detailed information on any of the topics.
In short, borrow The Wealth of Choices from the library, get some ideas, but spend your money on more thorough books for a reference that you will return to over and over.
Economic History, Buying Guide, and Assumption Changer!.......2000-09-13
"It's a great moment to be alive. Make the most of it."
The book's basic premise is that the economy has changed so much that you have to change your assumptions in order to prosper in terms of your health and money.
The first chapter, Not My Father's Economy, sets this up by sharing the advice his father always gave him and suggesting that these rules no longer apply.
The second chapter is a quiz that lets you test how well you have adapted to the new economic realities. The quiz is on the main points in the rest of the book, so if you do well in any part of that section, you can skip the material on that subject when you get to it later on. A strength of this structure is that it customizes the book for each reader, regardless of how savvy or out of it they are about the new economy.
Then, he shares hiw own experiences in how the new economy has changed for him in chapter 3. You will meet many famous and fascinating figures, such as the Gardner brothers of Motley Fool fame.
Chapters 4-12 are devoted to shopping, health care, education, work, how to spend your time and attention, investing, starting a business, retirement, and privacy (one per chapter). In these chapters, he gives you tips for each area, on-line sources you can access to keep up-to-date, and suggests key operating principles.
Here's a summary of his perspective on the economy: "Today, the basic market principles of competition and choice have swept into every aspect of American life." "The world has gotten smaller; competition has gotten more intense; choices have become more plentiful." "Globalization, deregulation, and digitalization are turning the entire world into a modern version of the Istanbul bazaar." " . . . The power balance, for the first time in the history of capitalism, has shifted in the consumer's favor." He has trouble defining the new economy, and does so with a series of negatives. It isn't very effective, but a definition probably isn't very important for achieving the book's purposes.
For those who like their economics in a qualitative form and in an abbreviated journalistic style, this book will be an excellent source of why the economy has and is changing.
For those who want to know how to get the best deal, this book is invaluable. While all of the other books about the Internet primarily focus on building a business or investing, this one shows how to use the Internet for everyday benefits for everyone. I am sure that many books will follow in this vein, but this is the first one I have seen done from this perspective. He also offers a web site where you can keep up-to-date on on-line sources.
But the real benefit is in helping you see where you may have stalled thinking about what you should be focusing on. The book is highly effective in showing you where to look and what questions to ask. For example, if 88 percent of mutual funds underperform the market averages, why do you own one that is not an index fund? I would give the book more than five stars if I could for this aspect.
The book's main weakness is that you cannot teach someone everything they need to know in each of the areas in a few pages. His reach exceeds his grasp in areas like investing, starting a business, privacy and retiring. Each subject area requires many books to fully understand. You should go find those books and study them. Don't take the advice here too literally.
I also thought that he misunderstands about education. He suggests going for the 'best' education, but seems to automatically equate that with 'brand name' education. Be a little more skeptical than that about the 'brand names' in education. Their product is not what it once was.
After you have read and absorbed the book's lessons, ask yourself how much of your time you really want to spend on making all of these new choices. Then decide which areas you will spend that time on. Even with the tips in this book, you will still find that you will have to ration your attention. I suggest you focus on health care, education, work (or business), and use whatever is left for shopping. But you should decide for yourself!
Our guru for the new world of economics.......2000-08-09
As someone who already is fluent in the Internet but not flush with cash to invest in it, I approached this book with a measure of skepticism. Would Murray really be able to tell me anything that I could put to use? To my surprise and pleasure, the answer was a resounding yes. And - don't be scared by this - he also manages to deliver a gentle history of economic theory. Honestly, he's not a policy wonk (at least not here anyway!). Instead, he blends the history in so well with the rest of his message that you find yourself learning how the world's economy evolved almost without meaning to.
As interesting as that all is, though, Murray's book is most useful in telling the reader how he or she can benefit from the new economy. And it's not by investing in IPO's or AOL. Rather, he shows how the vast array of information available on the Internet has given power back to ordinary consumers (like me), who are trying to scrape up the cash to buy a digital camera or a car. This is more self-help than it is history and it's provided not just by Murray's personal experiences but by a range of colleagues at the Wall Street Journal and friends in both high and low places.
Murray's final line says, "It's a great time to be alive." His book shows you how to make it better.
Finally. . . A Survival Guide for the New Economy.......2000-08-02
I have been tempted to quit my job so that I would have the time to figure out how to handle my long distance phone calls. I really can't cope with all the options I've been presented. It seems to me that things I never used to worry about -- like phone service, electricity, health care, air travel -- are suddenly complicated. I actually have to think about them or risk gaining distinction as the last remaining American who buys retail. After reading Alan Murray's survival guide to the New Economy, I now understand that this development is a good thing. The Wealth of Choices clearly describes the seismic shifts taking place in our ecomomy and outlines in personal and practical terms exactly how individuals can benefit from them. Murray makes these seemingly complex subjects easily digestible and manages to keep the reader entertained. He loads each chapter with specific recommendations for action. I initially felt a little smug reading some of his suggestions. He's probably a brilliant guy but he was telling me some things I'd heard many times before. Yet even these suggestions served as useful reminders and helped get me motivated; I may have heard them but I still wasn't doing them. Overall, I came away with plenty of new ideas for steps I could take right away to save time and money. So, I'm no longer overwhelmed by all my choices. But I do think I'll quit my job. After all, Murray makes a very compelling case for starting your own business.
