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

'Surprising and compelling' Financial Times

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 twenty-first 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 color, 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 humor, 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.

Women don't belong on pedestals. They don't belong on the sidelines or behind the accomplishments of others. They belong in the ring - fighting' Indra Nooyi

Indra Nooyi is a business tycoon like no other. At a time when women, especially women of colour, had limited access to the c-suite, Nooyi showed the world that women have a place at the top. Now, Nooyi wants to help more women, particulalrly working mothers, secure leadership positions.

In this profound, deeply personal memoir, you'll read about Nooyi's journey from Madras, India, to Yale University, to her first job at Booz Allen Hamilton, and finally, to the c-suite of PepsiCo. Alongside these stories of triumph, Nooyi also recounts the difficult choices and sacrifices that her family had to make so Nooyi could be both a CEO and a mother.

In BluePrint, Nooyi argues that modern workplaces are still designed for men and single-earner households, and presents a six-point plan for creating a modern, inclusive workplace that prioritises family and empowers women. From policy changes including paid family leave, corporate childcare systems and fair pay for caregivers, to diversity and inclusion efforts that address bias in the workplace with accountability measures, Nooyi's plan for change will propel women into the positions that they deserve and work hard for.

Women shouldn't have to choose between achieving success at work and having a family. BluePrint is a rallying cry for women at every stage of their careers, and a manifesto for change for every corporate executive and policy leader.

An amazing read, filled with lessons, optimism, warmth, and heart, about an extraordinary woman who rose to be a fantastic role model for all women.
