"An
inspiring guide for how to go from dreamer to do-er, from someone who’s been
there, done that and wrote the book on it.”  —Chrissy Teigen, New
York Times bestselling author of Cravings and Cravings:
Hungry for More

“If you want to start a successful business,
and do it in style, get this book and learn from its wise and empowering
lessons.” —Mindy Kaling, New
York Times bestselling author of Is Everyone Hanging Out Without
Me? and Why
Not Me?

From entrepreneur and celebrity hairstylist Jen
Atkin comes a smart and spirited guide to finding your voice and
creating the life and career you deserve—along
with a behind-the-scenes look into Jen’s own wild and
wonderful road to success.

Hailed by the New York Times as “the most
influential hair stylist in the world,” Jen Atkin is a celebrated
businesswoman, influencer, and stylist and friend to A-list celebrities like
the Kardashian-Jenners and Chrissy Teigen. But Jen’s success didn’t arrive
overnight. Her glamorous, jet-setting lifestyle came from years of hard
work, humility, and hustle. In Blowing My Way to the Top, Jen shatters
the illusion of effortless, instant success that permeates social media to
reveal the sweat, dedication, and drive it really takes to make it.

In this inspiring, insightful, and laugh-out-loud funny book, Jen
chronicles her remarkable journey and shares what she’s learned along the way.
From growing up in a conservative Mormon community where girls were discouraged
from pursuing their ambitions, to striking out on her own and finding success
on the celebrity style circuit, to building the cult-status brand OUAI—Jen
reveals with refreshing candor the lessons, mistakes, and memorable moments
that have paved her road to success.

Jen also offers insight into the values that have allowed her to
thrive in the modern, digital landscape, including the importance of creating
authentic content, investing in community, and building social conscious into
the ethos of a business. And as a trailblazer in a male-dominated industry, Jen
speaks frankly about the challenges she’s faced and provides crucial advice for
other women, from the importance of running your business like a feminist to building
camaraderie amid the competition to learning to navigate the work and life
issues that impact women most.

At the end of the day, Jen has one simple message: If I can do it,
you can too. Blowing My Way to the Top is destined to become the must-read career guide for a
new generation, empowering readers everywhere with the permission to
dream big—and the tools to make those dreams a reality.
