My comic, “The Cupcake Trap,” is based on a scene from my book, Beyond Leaning In.
Hope you’ll enjoy this short 3.5-page PDF excerpt that includes a discussion of the scene; you can also listen to the 7-minute audiobook version of the same excerpt here.
In the excerpt, we discuss what I call the “mental auto-complete”—what it is, how it works, and the impact on both individuals and organizations.
Want to learn more about the mental auto-complete?
Beyond Leaning In is a new type of business book — based on research, but told as a novel from the perspective of multiple characters across genders and generations.
Relevant across sectors, we look at the mental auto-complete and other reasons why gender gaps are so hard to close despite our best intentions.
Listen to the Beyond Leaning In podcast, episode 2, Mental Auto-Completes, featuring special guests Veronica and Steven LaFemina a married couple who read Beyond Leaning In together. In the episode, we listen to an excerpt from the book, hear Veronica and Steven’s different reactions to the scene, and talk about how they think about mental auto-completes in raising their young daughter and son.
