Synopsis

A new philosophy of living for working parents who want challenging careers and solid family life. Bonnie interviewed over thirty people from the Olympics, Wall Street, the White House, and other intensely competitive business or academic environments. Those who had children and stayed sane, she points out, couldn't talk about work without mentioning their children. She found that regardless of their profession, they all seemed to be saying the same things. This book will challenge your assumptions about quality time, balance, and other deeply held beliefs about work and family.
