'A must-read for working women and the men who work with us, love us and support us' Hillary Rodham Clinton'Surprising and compelling' Financial TimesThe much-anticipated and inspiring memoir by Indra Nooyi, the trailblazing former CEO of PepsiCo, offering clear-eyed insight and a call to action for how our society can really blend work and family - and advance women - in the twenty-first centuryFor more than a dozen years as one of the world's most admired CEOs, Indra Nooyi redefined what it means to be an exceptional leader. The first woman, person of color, and immigrant to run a Fortune 50 company - and one of the foremost strategic thinkers of our time - Nooyi transformed PepsiCo with a unique vision, a vigorous pursuit of excellence, and a deep sense of purpose. Now, in a rich memoir brimming with grace, grit, and good humor, My Life in Full offers a firsthand view of a legendary career and the sacrifices it so often demanded.In her book, Nooyi shares the events that shaped her - from her childhood in 1960s India, to the Yale School of Management, to her rise as a consultant and corporate strategist who soon ascended into the most senior executive ranks. The book offers an intimate look inside PepsiCo, detailing how she steered the iconic American company toward healthier products and reinvented its environmental profile without curbing financial performance - despite resistance at every turn. At the same time, Nooyi built a home with her husband - also a high-powered executive - two daughters, and members of her extended family. My Life in Full includes her unvarnished take on the competing pressures on her attention and time, and what she learned along the way. This book, as has her personal journey, will inspire young women everywhere to believe that they, too, can climb to powerful roles without giving up on the desire for a family and children. But, as Nooyi eloquently argues, her story is not a call for women to simply try harder, but is proof of the importance of organised care structures in all of our success. Nooyi makes a clear, actionable, urgent call for business and government to prioritise the care ecosystem, from skilled care networks to zoning policy, to paid leave and flexible and predictable work hours, each so critical to unleashing the economy's full potential and helping families thrive.Generous, authoritative, and grounded in lived experience, My Life in Full is both the story of an extraordinary leader's life, and a moving tribute to the relationships that created it.

Har du en datter eller sønn som synes borrelåsen er altfor stram eller for løs, at merkelapper og sømmer på klærne klør? Som kan virke sjenert og tilbakeholden, men er både begavet og kreativ? Da har du kanskje et høysensitivt barn. Høysensitive barn er ofte mer kreative, og kan ta til seg svært mye lærdom fordi de legger merke til så mange detaljer. De kan derfor fort stille svært høye krav til seg selv og bli utmattede enere. De kan også bli overveldet av inntrykk fordi de tar inn og bearbeider mye mer gjennom sansene enn andre barn. De kan virke sky og sjenerte fordi de gjerne er avventende i nye situasjoner. De kan være ekstra vare for fysiske stimuli, som lyder, lukt og lys. De sover gjerne veldig lett og liker ikke brå forandringer. Når høysensitive barn er passe stimulert, vil imidlertid sensitiviteten gi fordeler som begavelse, innlevelsesevne, kreativitet, følsomhet, moralsk ansvarlighet og et rikt indre liv. Boka inneholder en mengde råd om hvordan du som mamma eller pappa kan gjøre tilværelsen enklere for barnet i barnehagen og på skolen, og et eget kapittel om den høysensitive tenåringen. Av forfatteren av bestselgeren "Særlig sensitiv. La sårbarheten bli din styrke".

Sinne får oss til å stå opp for oss selv og forsvare oss mot urett. Hva er det som gjør at noen barn blir så rasende? Hvorfor er det så vanskelig å håndtere sinte barn? Hva trenger de sinte barna og hvordan skal du klare å gi dem det? Nøkkelen ligger i å forstå både selve sinnet og følelsene som ligger bak - og hva den voldsomme atferden vekker i deg som mor eller far. Denne boken forteller deg alt du trenger å vite om sinte barn.

Det året Hanne ble 30 skjedde det noe: Alle rundt henne ble plutselig gravide. Inkludert henne selv. Og brått endret folk måten de snakket om å få barn på: alltid tidligere var beskjeden at en baby er det beste i verden, men nå fikk pipa en helt annen lyd. «Bare vent, snart kommer strekkmerkene», «Bare vent, du får i alle fall ikke sove etter at babyen er her» og «Bare vent, det blir tyngre!». Aldri før har hun fått så mange råd hun aldri har bedt om. I denne boken får vi se alle prosessene som settes i gang når man blir gravid og får et barn på nært hold. Fra unnfangelse til fødsel og de første månedene med baby blir det aller meste dokumentert. Et parforhold i endring, å gå fra en identitet til en annen og å ha en kropp som strekker seg til det ugjenkjennelige, er blant tingene hun beskriver til trøst og gjenkjennelse for andre. Og for ikke å glemme selve fødselen, som satte i gang en stor debatt og endte på Dagsnytt 18.
