National Bestseller! USA Today Bestseller!

Noted fashion entrepreneur and former McKinsey & Company consultant, Lisa Sun, shares the eight strengths that every woman can call upon to be confident and successful.

“Lisa comes across as young and overly enthusiastic at times. She should seek to have more gravitas.”

This is what Lisa Sun’s boss wrote in her first review as a business analyst at the global management consulting firm McKinsey & Company. Sun knew she wasn’t alone in receiving this type of feedback and over the course of the last two decades, she has been on a journey to uncover what it means to be truly confident.

In this thought-provoking and practical guide, Sun, founder of lifestyle brand Gravitas, has cracked the code to help women build their own self-worth on their own terms. By doing so she:

• debunks the narrow view of confidence society has written for us
• redefines confidence as an inclusive construct that combines several innate strengths
• helps you discover your “confidence language” and tap into the source of your self-belief
• arms you with the tools to flex other strengths so you can shatter your expectations for yourself

Sun shares her own journey of self-discovery and growth and combines it with proprietary research, real-world examples, and anecdotes from other successful women who have championed their own definition of self-worth. Whatever stage of life you’re in, Gravitas offers valuable insights and strategies to help you succeed in any setting. Whether you are a mom, entrepreneur, creative soul, executive, thinker, maker, or doer, Sun will show you how you too can live life with total self-assurance and find your own gravitas.

Loved it!

I took the quiz. I see my strengths. I’m ready to grow. You need to read this if you’ve ever faced a crisis of confidence. I also love the audio version because when she talks about her mom and even imitates her, it’s darling and pulls at my heart strings.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Lisa Sun's book, Gravitas, is a stellar guide to mastering the art of confidence. A captivating blend of wisdom and wit, it's like a power-up for anyone navigating the professional world. Sun's insights are not only enlightening but also delivered with a dash of humor. An absolute must-read for those aiming to leave a lasting impression. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Powerful support for all professional women

With a characteristic meticulousness of a former McKinsey consultant, Lisa studies the sources of confidence and how they are different from individual to individual methodically and with the help of a thorough quantitative research. The study definitely adds credibility and strong foundation to her findings, not to mention, becomes the basis of a fun, and scarily accurate Quiz that helps you identify individual strengths/sources of confidence. She goes on to explore why many "female" sources of confidence are under-appreciated in a male-dominated leadership world, and what we can do about it. It is her stories of personal exploration from her clients, and from herself, that I found especially empowering. Lisa courageously details her own vulnerabilities and what it took her to overcome her downs. The book is voiced-over by Lisa herself, which adds an intimate touch. This is an empowering book for every female: early in her career, or with a few decades behind her belt, that helps better understand her own super-powers and utilize them for her personal and professional growth.
