 4   The Uterus is a Feature, Not a Bug, by Sarah Lacy. Shared by Woman Owned Greenwich Member Heidi Matonis, Heidi's Real Food. "My daughters suggested this book to me - an interesting take on having it all, from a Silicon Valley Tech journalist who may or may not actually 'have it all'."

 5   How I Built This (podcast) with Guy Raz of NPR.  Shared by Woman Owned Greenwich Steering Committee Member Stephanie Cleary, Greenwich Lactation Services. "This podcast is so much fun!

 6  How to Win Friends & Influence People, by Dale Carnegie. Shared by Woman Owned Greenwich Steering Committee Member Cathy Blood, Speritas Capital Partners & NEST New Media. "I know this is super old school - published in 1936 - but still relevant! I read my parents' copy when I was 16 and it had a huge impact on my early career and business efforts. People skills - how many people do you know who lack them?"

 7  Decoding Greatness, by Ron Friedman. Shared by Woman Owned Greenwich Member Heidi Matonis, Heidi's Real Food. "This has to do reverse engineering your way to success, vs. relying on natural talent and the path of practice. Work smarter not longer."
