520    "The long-awaited sequel to Girl Code, from one of the 
       rock stars of the female empowerment movement.  Cara 
       Alwill Leyba's riveting voice and kinship with her 
       audience drove the self-published success of Girl Code, a 
       book that encouraged women to support each other in the 
       business community. Now her many fans are ready to take 
       the next step: building sustainable confidence from the 
       ground up.  Most women who are insecure look for the 
       equivalent of a sugar rush, such as telling themselves 
       they're better than other people or changing the way they 
       look. But those tricks won't protect them from losing 
       confidence in the future. Neither will simply being 
       outspoken and aggressive, if those traits aren't 
       authentic.  Leyba has three simple but provocative 
       arguments. First, confidence doesn't come from "winning" -
       - it comes comes from ignoring the success narratives we 
       absorb from magazines and movies. Second, the impressions 
       people make on others depend on their personalities, not 
       their looks--so there's no reason to use the word "ugly," 
       ever. Finally, the foundation of confidence comes from 
       "audacious auditing," Leyba's term for identifying toxic 
       people and habits and getting rid of them.  Written in her
       chatty, older-sister voice, and full of revealing stories 
       from every stage of Cara's life, Like She Owns The Place 
       will help readers rewire their minds to be more confident.
       Take it from the woman who quit her job at MTV, dyed her 
       hair pink, and made herself a bestselling author -- 
       there's a path becoming stronger and happier"--|cProvided
