A Life-Changing Book !,
By A Customer
This review is from: Coming Up for Air: How to Build a Balanced Life in a Workaholic World (Hardcover)
Coming Up for Air is gratifying to read (and reread) because clearly the author has lived and breathed this topic. Finally - someone really understands the struggle of trying to balance a well-loved (but stressful) career and a full life! The exercises and real-people stories are truly insightful. There are great suggestions to implement right away. I can feel the difference it has made in my outlook already. Almost everyone I know would benefit from reading this book.

What about regular folk?,
By A Customer
This review is from: Coming Up for Air: How to Build a Balanced Life in a Workaholic World (Hardcover)
I found it a bit hard to relate to the author on this one--she's a high-paid executive who can afford to hire nannies, housekeepers, landscapers, etc. It's a bit easier to have balance when you have money. It would be great to see a book by a regular parent that had some tips in it.
