Getting Ahead At Work Without Leaving Your Family Behind

by Bonnie St. John

"Juggling work and family? Stop before you drop" heralds Bonnie's book for people who see themselves as successful and wealthy, yet feel trapped. The "successful careers are tearing families apart." Her "Blending work and family." 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.
