“Brag Better is a thoughtful guide to finding, using, and sharing your voice, even when it’s difficult. Speaking up matters – especially in the current landscape.”
–dream hampton, award-winning filmmaker Surviving R. Kelly, writer, TIME 100 Most Influential People 2019 Honoree

“Brag Better will change your life. It took me an extraordinarily long time to write my first book because any time I wrote anything positive about myself, I would edit the sentence to death because I didn’t want to seem egotistical. Forget that!”
—Alyssa Mastromonaco, former deputy White House chief of staff to President Obama and author of Who Thought This Was a Good Idea?
 
“Not all of us come into the world with the self-assurance we need, and it can be infuriating to watch overconfidence pay off while merit goes unrewarded, especially for the most marginalized in our society. Meredith Fineman has taught me how to Brag Better and will help you do it, too.”
—Liz Plank, author of For the Love of Men
 
“This book provides a pitch-perfect map for how to take your career to the next level.”

“In debunking ‘likability’ myths and teaching precisely and practically how women should magnify their accomplishments, Fineman ignites a kind of bold, brash, bragging revolution—one that will wake your meek ass up.”
—Jennifer Romolini, author of Weird in a World That’s Not
 
“If this great book had come out two decades ago, The Qualified Quiet would have learned to self-promote as well as I do, and I would never have had a career.”
—Joel Stein, author of In Defense of Elitism
