29 Best Women Advising Women Books

I am suggesting this book because it is a quick read about improving eyesight with simple eye yoga exercises. About a month ago I was in an eye glasses store so that my husband (who has had glasses his entire life) could pick up his new prescription. He does eye yoga everyday. The woman at the counter who helped him check his prescription spoke about her poor daughter who had horrible vision and had an extremely high prescription glasses. When I mentioned to her the idea of her daughter and herself doing some basic eye yoga exercises to help, she didn’t even take my words seriously. She thought it was a joke! Eye yoga is real and can help improve eyesight and lower prescriptions (or even remove them altogether!) which is why I think this book would make a great choice to your selection. It is written by a woman for women on how to naturally help eye problems.

With her proven JD Methodology and three step process, Dyan has found that a female executive’s personal brand is the missing link between female driven consumer economy, and the rise of women in leadership by asking not “What do I wear” but rather “What story do you want to tell?” The JD Methodology was developed on the belief that by understanding and embracing human behavior, we, as a whole, have the opportunity to use our DNA to our advantage. First impressions are a direct (not to mention instant) response to our basic human nature. In a single moment, our emotional and visceral response overpowers any and all logic. Studies show that 95% of consumer decisions are made on emotion — and that includes their decision to trust your brand … and your leaders. The JD Methodology is about the ability to control the conversation with aligning brand and storytelling, which, in turn, establishes an emotional connection to all senses, whether the audience realizes it or not. Dyan emphasizes, “Every woman running a business or making strides in her professional career has the power to control the conversation and establish a brand that’s trustworthy, inspiring, and honest from the inside-out.”
