Best Business Books To Read in 2022
Must-Read Business Books for All Female CEOs and Founders
As the year draws to an end and we are writing down our resolutions for 2022, I wanted to put together a list of the best business books every female CEO should read!
Undaunted: Overcoming Doubts and Doubters by Kara Goldin
Author Kara Goldin turned her unsweetened flavored water into one of the most successful beverage businesses of our time and has been named one of InStyle’s Badass 50, Fast Company’s Most Creative People in Business, Fortune’s Most Powerful Women Entrepreneurs, and EY Entrepreneur of the Year for Northern California. Undaunted is a rare opportunity to gain insights and proven advice, unlike anything you’ll find in the conventional business press. Kara combines real honest stories from her life with observations that might just change how you think about your own.
Part autobiography, part business memoir and lots of insights on self-development, Undaunted offers inspiring stories that impart lessons that any reader can apply to their own path.

Dare to Lead by Brene Brown
Brene Brown, Ph.D., LMSW, the social scientist best known for The Gifts of Imperfection, trains her sensitive eye on our increasingly polarized world. From there, she examines what she calls "true belonging," and maps how to get there from lonely places "out in the wilderness."
Grit by Angela Duckworth
If you're feeling bad about a lack of natural genius or familial advantages, researcher Angela Duckworth gives you a reason to buck up. She's found that what she calls "grit," a combination of passion and perseverance, is more important than anything innate.
Year of Yes by Shonda Rhimes
Everybody knows Shonda Rimes as the creator of hit shows like Grey's Anatomy, Scandal, and How to Get Away With Murder. But even if you're not in the TV biz, you can still get inspiration from her memoir, which chronicles a year where she vowed to say "yes!" to everything that scared her.

Girl Code by Cara Alwill Leyba
Girl Code is a roadmap for female entrepreneurs, professional women, "side hustlers" (those with a day job plus a part-time small business), and anyone in between. This book won't teach you how to build a multimillion-dollar company. It won't teach you about systems or finance. But it will teach you how to build confidence in yourself, reconnect with your "why," eradicate jealousy, and ultimately learn the power of connection. Because at the end of the day, that's what life and business are all about.
The Courage to Advance by Bonnie Hagemann
A powerful collection of 36 stories about how the world's most successful women have overcome some of life's biggest challenges to reach the top of their professions. This is a book written for every current and aspiring leader, revealing the things that leaders rarely talk about: the behind-the-scenes struggles.
The women in these stories are powerful, internationally diverse, and have impressive leadership accomplishments. They were brought together through one unifying experience: they have all completed the Harvard Business School Women on Boards Program, a course that has turned into a movement. Today there are over 190 members of the WomenExecs on Boards network, from 23 countries. This is the network where organizations go to find educated, prepared, qualified, and diverse women for corporate board seats.
