Katherine  Schwarzenegger, the daughter of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver, also published a career guide of sorts last year. Her title, I Just Graduated Now What? is a compilation of interviews she conducted with men and women in a variety of careers (Anderson Cooper, Eva Longoria, Meghan McCain, Gayle King, and Blake Mycoskie) about what they learned after they graduated.

Both of these titles are easy to read or to browse through, and if you want to borrow them, just ask one of the librarians. We will be glad to help you. Check out this previous post about the original Lean In too.
