I got the opportunity to read an advance copy of this book. The chance fell into my lap at a time when I didn’t even know how much I needed it! As a single mother, social worker, musician, booking agent and writer, the message of this book - that you can love your job and your home life and still struggle to find a good work/life balance - really spoke to me. It was full of useful gems, from tips to helpful anecdotes to edifying exercises. I took away something helpful from every chapter! Highly recommend for busy people!
