Fairly self-help-y about owning your power etc., which means I have to update my opinion about the advice because clearly she knows what she’s talking about. One pull quote: “I have never heard of a student refusing admission to an Ivy League college because her father is why she got into the top-rated school. Likewise, we ‘others’ must be bold in our acceptance of quotas as a way to advance.” Abrams also breaks down the different types of people who can serve mentor-like roles, including peers, and suggests strategies for maximizing their assistance to you, including being clear about what you want from them because most people who want to help you want you to help them help you.

I related to Abrams more than I thought I would; a book so focused on privilege is surprisingly universal. It's not about race or gender, it's about people who simply don't feel welcome. This obviously happens more often, and on a more fundamental level, for people from marginalized communities. But Abrams herself makes it clear this book is just as much for people who told they are too young, as it is for people who are told that women/POC cannot accomplish what white men can.

It's a bit cheesy, and less memoir-y than I expected. But it's a sweet and hopeful self-help book from somebody that genuinely wants to make the reader feel inspired. I'm sure writing this book was part of her spreadsheet's plan to become governor, but it reads like somebody who just wants to help and doesn't expect anything in return.

I like Stacey Abrams, and I expect we are only beginning to see her face and hear her name. There's more to come from her. (

As others have noted, this is an awkward mix of self help and political/personal memoir. I would have preferred none of the former. She’s great, though. I look forward to our collective future path. 🙂 (

At this point it isn't clear what Abrams next move is - run for GA gov again, VP on the Dem ticket next year? I am hopeful. This memoir/manual explains how to grab hold of opportunity as it bobs by in the stream. I cannot wait to learn what Abrams does next, she will have my full support. (

"Abrams's own grit, coupled with her descriptions of much stumbling and self-doubt, will make [Lead from the Outside] touch you in a way few books by politicians can." �?? The New York Times

National leader Stacey Abrams has written the guide to harnessing the strengths of being an outsider and succeeding anyway.

Leadership is hard. Convincing others�??and yourself�??that you are capable of taking charge and achieving more requires insight and courage. Lead from the Outside is the handbook for outsiders, written with an eye toward the challenges that hinder women, people of color, the working class, members of the LGBTQ community, and millennials ready to make change.

Stacey uses her hard-won insights to break down how ambition, fear, money, and failure function in leadership, and she includes practical exercises to help you realize your own ambition and hone your skills. Lead from the Outside discusses candidly what Stacey has learned over the course of her impressive career in politics, business and the nonprofit world: that differences in race, gender, and class provide vital strength, which we can employ to rise to the top and create real and lasting cha
