This review is from: Making It Work: Finding the Time and Energy for Your Career, Marriage, Children, and Self (Paperback)

Are you tired of trying to have it all? Is the effort to be everything to everyone taking its toll?

Balancng the needs and demands of work, love, and family requires flexibility, an open mind, and the courage to take a chance. Make It Work offers real answers for today's women-answers that show you how all the meaningful but demanding aspects of your life can be balanced in a manageable and rewarding way.

Based on over 200 interviews with couples who are equal partners in successful marriages, this book introduces you to the negotiating skills an methods that turn theory into practice. Revealing quizzes, first-person accounts, and real-life success stories help you to examine your own priorities and answer such difficult questions as:

*Am I willing to make compromises?
*Can I truly say money isn't important to me?
*Am I afraid to face what's wrong with my relationship?
*Do I worry about the future?

Uncovering the three key factors for putting the pieces together-a real partnership with your spouse, an open-minded approach to work, and the courage to make some changes-Making It Work deals with the myths of an equal marriage and gives you the tools to help you realize that making it work your way is the wave of the future.
