  蘇菲亞˙阿莫魯索在網路上賣掉的第一件東西,不是衣服,是一本偷來的書。青少年時代過著搭人便車、在垃圾中找東西吃,和在店家順手牽羊的生涯。22歲時她罹患疝氣需要醫療保險,不得不去上班,但還是又窮、又沒目標。

  所以她在eBay拍賣網站上開起店來,並起名為「Nasty Gal Vintage」(壞女孩古著)。2014年成為市值逾一億美元企業「Nasty Gal」的執行長與創意總監,還有350名員工。

  阿莫魯索絕對不是正統的CEO(她沒辦法當任何正統的人或東西),她寫這本書,是為讀者(無論是邊緣人或是行家)找出獨特的成功路,即使這條路跟鬼一樣崎嶇,而且一路上都是唱衰的人。

  《正妹CEO》是阿莫魯索的故事,但遠比個人傳記有意義得多。內容深入又私密,道理卻全世界的人都看得懂、用得著。文中充滿刺耳的警示聲(「嘿!你沒那麼特別」),細緻又誠實的觀察(「失敗是你自己發明出來的」)還有耀眼新星Nasty Gal竄起背後的故事。證明了一件事:成功並不是你在高中或大學(如果有念的話)有多受歡迎,而是在突破現有規則時信任你的直覺,跟隨你的勇氣。

  正妹CEO的人生操之在己。她努力爭取,所以想要什麼都能如願以償。身為正妹CEO,要掌控一切,也承擔責任。她是位鬥士,知道何時出招,何時又該順勢而為。有時她打破規則,有時照規矩走,但永遠是她說了算。她知道要往哪裡去,不過一路上可不能少了樂趣。

  正如阿莫魯索給讀者的三項忠告:「永遠不要長大;不要變成無聊的人;不要被那些有權有勢的人打消志氣。沒問題吧?酷。那麼,我們開始吧!」
In the New York Times bestseller that the Washington Post called "Lean In for misfits," Sophia Amoruso shares how she went from dumpster diving to founding one of the fastest-growing retailers in the world.

Amoruso spent her teens hitchhiking, committing petty theft, and scrounging in dumpsters for leftover bagels. By age twenty-two she had dropped out of school, and was broke, directionless, and checking IDs in the lobby of an art school--a job she'd taken for the health insurance. It was in that lobby that Sophia decided to start selling vintage clothes on eBay.

Flash forward to today, and she's the founder of Nasty Gal and the founder and CEO of Girlboss. Sophia was never a typical CEO, or a typical anything, and she's written #GIRLBOSS for other girls like her: outsiders (and insiders) seeking a unique path to success, even when that path is windy as all hell and lined with naysayers.

#GIRLBOSS proves that being successful isn't about where you went to college or how popular you were in high school. It's about trusting your instincts and following your gut; knowing which rules to follow and which to break; when to button up and when to let your freak flag fly.

"A witty and cleverly told account . . . It's this kind of honest advice, plus the humorous ups and downs of her rise in online retail, that make the book so appealing." --Los Angeles Times

"Amoruso teaches the innovative and entrepreneurial among us to play to our strengths, learn from our mistakes, and know when to break a few of the traditional rules." --Vanity Fair

"#GIRLBOSS is more than a book . . . #GIRLBOSS is a movement." --Lena Dunham
