The No Club is fantastic! I am now proudly a member identifying NPTs at work left right and center. I’m recommending to all of my friends and adopting these strategies so that I’m not contributing to NPTs at my workplace.

This book was a page turner from beginning to end. Empowering and a must read if you are a woman working in a corporation and or need motivation within your career. So well written and inspirational. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Useful and insightful book about a topic I don't think is talked about enough. Definitely gave me some food for thought and some good tips on how to handle situations and requests. I liked all the different real-life examples - they really helped to drive home the points.v

THE NO CLUB by Linda Babcock, Brenda Peyser, Lise Vesterlund and Laurie Weingart is subtitled "Putting a Stop to Women's Dead-End Work." The authors, experienced professionals and professors at Carnegie Mellon and University of Pittsburgh, have done an excellent job of identifying and researching a barrier to women's advancement. Basically, they chose to focus on those tasks (e.g., arranging a holiday party or on-boarding interns) which help the company, but not the individual doing the work and which women are often asked to do because of their gender. This book could promote a shift in thinking, not only for women as they reflect upon their careers, but also for organizations, as the authors advocate. THE NO CLUB received positive reviews from numerous business publications and includes a Glossary of Terms, an extremely helpful list of references and many, many notes. Intrigued? Babcock, Peyser, Vesterlund, and Weingart even include an appendix on "How to Start a No Club," describing purpose, members, meetings, norms and suggesting best practices. Containing numerous recommendations for action, THE NO CLUB is a valuable resource for women at all stages, particularly young professionals.
