Resumen del Editor

The much-anticipated and inspiring memoir by Indra Nooyi, the trailblazing former CEO of PepsiCo, offering clear-eyed insight and a call to action for how our society can really blend work and family - and advance women - in the 21st century.

For more than a dozen years as one of the world's most admired CEOs, Indra Nooyi redefined what it means to be an exceptional leader. The first woman, person of colour and immigrant to run a Fortune 50 company - and one of the foremost strategic thinkers of our time - Nooyi transformed PepsiCo with a unique vision, a vigorous pursuit of excellence and a deep sense of purpose. Now, in a rich memoir brimming with grace, grit and good humour, My Life in Full offers a firsthand view of a legendary career and the sacrifices it so often demanded.

In her book, Nooyi shares the events that shaped her - from her childhood in 1960s India, to the Yale School of Management, to her rise as a consultant and corporate strategist who soon ascended into the most senior executive ranks. The book offers an intimate look inside PepsiCo, detailing how she steered the iconic American company toward healthier products and reinvented its environmental profile without curbing financial performance - despite resistance at every turn.

At the same time, Nooyi built a home with her husband - also a high-powered executive - two daughters and members of her extended family. My Life in Full includes her unvarnished take on the competing pressures on her attention and time, and what she learned along the way. This book, as has her personal journey, will inspire young women everywhere to believe that they, too, can climb to powerful roles without giving up on the desire for a family and children. But, as Nooyi eloquently argues, her story is not a call for women to simply try harder, but is proof of the importance of organised care structures in all of our success. Nooyi makes a clear, actionable, urgent call for business and government to prioritise the care ecosystem, from skilled care networks to zoning policy, to paid leave and flexible and predictable work hours, each so critical to unleashing the economy's full potential and helping families thrive.

Generous, authoritative and grounded in lived experience, My Life in Full is both the story of an extraordinary leader's life and a moving tribute to the relationships that created it.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A must-read for working women and the men who work with us, love us and support us." (Hillary Rodham Clinton)

Inspiring

I really enjoyed this book as well as the narration by the author. It was relatable on a number of aspects and provided an interesting perspective from the CEO office and the annals of leadership at a Fortune 500 company.

So Inspiring!

I enjoyed her story telling and her work ethic is out of this world. Definitely a good read.

Insightful, loved it!

The first few chapters were a bit dull ( almost felt like Indra Ma’am led a very boring life and could have let her hair down and have some fun along the way), but then chapter 6 onwards I couldn’t stop! Very holistic with powerful storytelling and futuristic insights - a must read/listen!

Fascinating biography

Really enjoyed this book. So many different facets of Indra’s life and honest insights. Loved her narration. And whilst I have no dreams of becoming a CEO, it’s wonderful to hear what it’s like.

Exceptional story, down to earth and humbling

I really enjoyed Los to Indra. Captivating story and very good lessons to learn from her life. Story is frank and easy to listen to.

I really enjoyed this Bio.

Speechless

Im recommending this to every person I know. It was a life changing read. I love it

Absolutely enriching

Every sentence has wisdom woven into it somehow. It is full of practical ideas to live life as a woman in the world of work. It doesn't paint the author as a perfect person but as one who learned how to navigate life through varying experiences - some palatable, some not. A worthy read I must say.
