The Game Changers




The world’s most successful women, including Arianna Huffington, Gwyneth Paltrow and Elle Macpherson, tell you how to become a fearless, fabulous girl boss.

The path to success is rarely straightforward. However, with more female trailblazers out there than ever before, achieving their career goals in the worlds of business, entertainment, fashion, politics and beyond, the game is being changed forever.

Journalist Samantha Brett and editor and art director Steph Adams have spent more than two decades between them interviewing and profiling some of the most inspiring and successful women in the world. They quickly realised that these women had a few distinct qualities in common: they are fearless in their pursuits and unafraid to go after what they want, and they do not let fear of failure stop them. And they know the importance of getting back up after you’ve fallen down, and of trying one more time even when it seems like every avenue has been exhausted.

In The Game Changers, Samantha and Steph have handpicked the world's most inspiring women, and these women are letting you into their worlds. They are sharing their secrets to overcoming fears and challenges, and inspiring you to keep motivated, no matter how tough things become! This book features exclusive first-hand essays designed to help you to live your best life and make all your dreams come true. You'll hear success secrets and inspirational stories from the likes of Arianna Huffington, Julie Bishop, Natasha Oakley, Meghan Markle, Elle Macpherson, Rachel Zoe, Sarah Wilson, Aerin Lauder and Gwyneth Paltrow – and many, many more.

Be inspired by the women you know and love.
