Summary

This is a practical manual for women written by the "Queen of Wall Street," not gentle inspirational chicken soup. Sally Krawcheck lays out her journey from research analyst to Citigroup CFO and Merrill Lynch CEO, including the awkward moments of rejection, discrimination, and being underpaid, so the advice in the book has concrete origins. The most worthwhile aspect of this book is that it breaks "courage" down into actionable verbs: ask for a raise, quantify goals, proactively meet people you don't know well, keep investment power in your own hands, and fight bias with humor. The author does not encourage women to imitate male assertiveness but advocates turning traits such as attentiveness, risk awareness, relationship maintenance, and a long-term perspective into advantages. If your dilemma is "knowing you should advocate for yourself but swallowing your words every time," this book offers not theories but sentences you can say and methods you can implement. Reading it may not immediately lead to a promotion or raise, but at least it can make you hesitate three seconds less the next time you should speak up.

Editor's review

这是一本“华尔街女王”写给女性的实战手册，而不是温柔的心灵鸡汤。萨莉·克劳切克把自己从研究员一路做到花旗CFO、美林CEO的经历摊开来讲，包括被拒绝、被歧视、被低估薪水的那些难堪时刻，因此书中的建议有具体的来处。本书最值得一读的地方，是它把“勇气”拆解成可操作的动词：开口要加薪、把目标量化、主动结识不熟的人、把投资权握在自己手里、用幽默回击偏见。作者不鼓励女性模仿男性的强势，而是主张把细致、风险意识、关系维护、长期视角等特质变成优势。如果你的困境是“知道该争取，但每次话到嘴边又咽回去”，这本书提供的不是道理，而是一句句可以照着说的话和一套套可以落地的做法。读完不一定立刻升职加薪，但至少能让你在下一次该开口时，少犹豫三秒钟。

Who it's for

A good fit for

在职场中不敢谈薪、不敢表达观点的女性读者
希望提升财务独立意识、开始学习投资的上班族
面临家庭与事业平衡压力的职业女性
想了解女性领导力议题的管理者与HR从业者

Not a good fit for

期待系统心理学理论或学术研究的读者
希望获得具体行业技术技能提升的读者
对美式职场励志叙事较为抗拒的读者

Reading tips

先读第四、十、十五章，把“谈薪、开口、投资”三件最具体的事落地，再回看前面的心态部分。
每读完一章写下一件本周可执行的小行动，例如约一位不熟的同行喝咖啡。
读到与自己处境不符的美国职场案例时，重点提取方法逻辑，而非照搬场景。
可与《向前一步》对照阅读，比较两位作者对女性优势的不同论述。

FAQ

这本书和2013年中信出版的《勇气》是同一本吗？

不是。2013年那本由罗伯特·比斯瓦斯-迪纳著、萧潇译，ISBN为9787508640983，讲的是“勇气商”与恐惧控制；本书是萨莉·克劳切克2019年出版的作品，译者为张萌，ISBN为9787521700961，主题是女性职场与自我争取。

这本书的原书名是什么？

原书名为 Own It，中文版副标题为“做无畏的自己”。书名中的“NEW”并非原书名的一部分，通常只是渠道或版本标注。

没有职场经验的在校生适合读吗？

可以读，但收获会集中在观念层面。书中大量内容围绕加薪、晋升、人脉与投资展开，最好结合实习或兼职经历对照阅读，效果更实在。

书中关于投资的建议能直接照做吗？

书中的投资观点基于美国市场与作者个人经验，具有原则性启发意义，但具体的产品、税率与渠道与中国市场差异较大，实际操作前应另行了解本地规则。

豆瓣评分6.5，值得买吗？

评分反映的是读者对案例偏美国化、部分建议较常识化的评价。若你正需要一份“敢开口”的行动清单，它仍有实用价值；若想要深度理论，建议先借阅。
