Joy's book is inspiring and relatable on so many levels; ranging from her struggles in her daily personal life, as well as the hardships of what it takes, and what you face, especially as a female, in the business world.

I remember seeing Joy Mangano on QVC when I was a little girl and I even had a Roly-Kit for my Barbie dolls to keep their shoes and things organized. After seeing the movie Joy, I wanted to find out more about this fascinating woman. To say that Joy’s book is inspirational would be putting it mildly. I was completely enthralled with her creative process and the stories that she shared from her family. There is so much wisdom and encouragement to be found in this book. I can’t wait to read it again and again. This is definite book buy for anyone who needs some encouragement to follow his or her dreams.

This is an inspiring memoir by Joy Mangano. It is a rags to riches story that I loved.

Inventing Joy is the rags to ritches story of Joy Mangaro. You may know her from the movie, Joy, or as the inventor of the inventor of the miracle mop. This book tells Joys story from her point of view, including of her failures and triumphs. Joy is one of the first people to use television to connect with her customers and still has a segment on the Home Shopping Network.

This book is a great success story with a lot of really good advice. This was a good read and I recommend checking it out.

Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC of this title in exchange for my honest review. I am a sucker for a good, easy read business title, and this one didn't disappoint. It was a tiny bit "breezy" for my taste, but I think that's from the author's personality, so I can't really fault that. This takes Joy through her career, her background and her first invention and what it took to get that going and on to success. It's inspirational, and I really enjoyed it.
