This review is from: Harvard Business Review on Work and Life Balance (Harvard Business Review Paperback Series) (Paperback)

Here we have a collection of several articles about balancing work and life. I liked the book because of that. You don't have to begin reading on page 1. Just see the index for an article of choice an begin reading there. The ideas the authors propose are written in an easy reading manner an are always backed on serious researches. I licked it a lot.

The package came overseas to Japan in less time than expected. Great service! I was so excited to get the package of books before I had to leave for a business trip for a week. (If the books had come "on time," then I would have already left.)
