5A must read for working women!  Jan 17, 2008
This is a great book that explores work/life balance issues as described by female corporate executives. Ms. Harper interviewed many high-ranking women in various industries to get their take on work/life balance in their own lives. Because balance is different for everyone, reading the different perspectives is very enlightening. The underlying message is that all women deal with balancing work and life to some extent and that many women don't speak of it, particularly at the executive level. Each of these women provides their own perspective, insight, ideas, and advice. Following the interviews, there is a workbook to help women plan for more joy in their lives by finding the appropriate level of balance.

This is a must read for all working women!

4I love this book!  Nov 29, 2003
A friend heard this author speak at a conference and said I had to get a copy of this book (she wouldn't part with hers). I love it! It's like talking with 30 business women who've been there - and hearing in their own words how they deal with work/life balance issues. It made me feel so good to know I'm not the only one struggling - and helped me develop my own checklist of things that will work in my life. I'm giving copies to two friends at work and my boss for Christmas!

4Finally - The Real Truth!!  Nov 27, 2003
I feel validated and finally have some real suggestions that will help me achieve balance in my life! It's hard to believe that this book was pulled together in only eight days. It's personal, professional, and heartfelt. If only the women in my company would be as brave as the women in this book!

5Wow! Insightful & Useful!!!  Nov 26, 2003
I couldn't put this book down! I've been working in large corporations for nearly 15 years and have two grade school children. I didn't think anyone understood what I was going through but now I know that I am not alone. I found many strategies in the book that will work for me - the workbook was incredible! Thank you to the executive women who put this together so that I can achieve work/life balance!!
