Synopsis

A 2017 study by the Boston College Center for Work & Family found that all working dads across generations would like to spend more time with their children. But it’s much easier said than done. Irreverent corporate author James Sudakow aims to detangle entrepreneurship and parenthood and demystify what it means to manage that much needed balance in his new book, Out of the Blur: A Delirious Dad’s Search for The Holy Grail of Work-Life Balance (Purple Squirrel Media, September 2018). Sudakow, author of the humorous illustrated corporate glossary Picking the Low-Hanging Fruit... and Other Stupid Stuff We Say in the Corporate World (Purple Squirrel Media, 2016), brings his signature irreverent tone to the much discussed topic of work-life balance in Work-Life Blur. With illustrations from Todd Kale, Sudakow tells his story of building and running a small business while raising a family, and aims to help readers figure out how to define what they want their work-life balance to look like while identifying and solving the traps and habits many fall into that get in the way of truly reaching balance. Despite being told from an entrepreneurial dad’s point of view, Out of the Blur seeks to discuss the challenges all parents face while trying to be everything they need and want to be for their families while achieving the successes they need and want to at work — whether their job be entrepreneurial or traditional.
