Summary: life-changing
Review: This book was truly life-changing for me. It got me thinking in a whole new way. For the first time, I realized how I could actually make my life less stressful. I have applied the principles and they work. They really do! I'm not in Corporate America, but everything the author wrote about applies to the self employed. And she's a fabulous writer...this is a quick, easy read, but it sure packs a punch! I'm telling every woman I know to read this book.I loved it!

Summary: Enormously practical and helpful
Review: This wonderful book succinctly and gracefully guides the reader toward real-world solutions to very difficult real world problems. It's unusual to find a book which is both a pleasure to read and is very grounded in practical solutions for finding a way to increased contentment. I think the book succeeds so well because it focuses on core challenges in attaining happiness and balance (i.e. given that one can't do everything, what are your real priorities?) and that it provides guidance for attaining realistic, small-step changes that can have an enormous impact on quality of life. It's wonderful to find such graceful writing, not from a professional "self help book writer", but from a woman who has walked the walk...a person who has succeeded in corporate America while raising children and pursuing other interests. There's nothing theoretical here...it's all grounded in the reality of what's possible in our frenzied lives.
