For more reviews, check out my blog: Craft-CycleI think there is some useful information in this book. But there is a lot of other stuff going on as well and much of it is outdated.Guiliano's basic premise is that French women don't get fat, because they eat slowly and appreciate their food.

Let's say I read it so that you don't have to. It's a cut above reading career advice in Cosmo.

A wonderful book on all aspects of women in business. Mireille Guiliano acknowledges and addresses differences between men and women in work without any kind of political agenda - which I loved. I wanted to recommend this book to all the people I took a library management class with last semester - ...
