Des Moines Public Library business book pick: “15 Lies Women Are Told at Work … and the Truth We Need to Succeed,” by Bonnie Hammer.

Why you should read it: This new book by powerful American studio executive and current NBCUniversal Vice Chair Bonnie Hammer discusses her secrets to success in a turbulent, male-driven industry. Her power, she says, comes from rejecting the common myths about how women “are supposed to act” in the workplace, and serves as a masterclass for showing how any woman can rise as high as she wants in her work world.
