The first thing Sophia Amoruso sold online wasnโt fashionโit was a stolen book. She spent her teens hitchhiking, committing petty theft, and dumpster diving. By twenty-two, she had resigned herself to employment, but was still broke, directionless, and working a mediocre day job sheโd taken for the health insurance. It was there that Sophia decided to start selling vintage clothes on eBay. Eight years later, she is the founder, CEO, and creative director of Nasty Gal, a $100 million plus online fashion retailer with more than 350 employees. Sophiaโs never been a typical CEO, or a typical anything, and sheโs written #GIRLBOSS for outsiders (and insiders) seeking a unique path to success, even when that path is winding as all hell and lined with naysayers. #GIRLBOSS includes Sophiaโs story, yet is infinitely bigger than Sophia. Itโs deeply personal yet universal. Filled with brazen wake-up calls (โYou are not a special snowflakeโ), cunning and frank observations (โFailure is your inventionโ), and behind-the-scenes stories from Nasty Galโs meteoric rise, #GIRLBOSS covers a lot of ground. It proves that being successful isnโt about how popular you were in high school or where you went to college (if you went to college). Rather, success is about trusting your instincts and following your gut, knowing which rules to follow and which to break. A #GIRLBOSS takes her life seriously without taking herself too seriously. She takes chances and takes responsibility on her own terms. . She knows when to throw punches and when to roll with them. When to button up and when to let her freak flag fly. As Sophia writes, โI have three pieces of advice I want you to remember: Donโt ever grow up. Donโt become a bore. Donโt let The Man get to you. OK? Cool. Then letโs do this.โ
