5.0 out of 5 stars Not for Parents Only, January 21, 2003

By	Julia N. Heinrich (Princeton, NJ, United States) - See all my reviews

Although I am a non-parent, most of the people I work with and manage are
parents. I read this book to increase my awareness of their daily toils and tribulations. In this respect, the book admirably served its purpose. However, I found much of the information in this book applicable not to parents only but to anyone who goes to work every day. This book offers advice on how to define success in one's own terms as well as down-to-earth information on such topics as day care. The organization of the book, in 75 "tips", each of which consists of a quotation, exercises for self-assessment and recommended resources and activities, makes the information readily accessible. I'm going to keep this book of abundant advice at my fingertips, using it to put some strategic planning into my own daily routine as well as using it as a guide to advise my colleagues. I am happily recommending it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Succeeding as a Super Busy Parent, February 7, 2005

By	William J. Foster "[e-mail]" (Bernardsville, NJ United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The subtitle of this book is 75 Practical Tips for Balancing Life, Love, Kids, and Career, and the book is written as a manual--a how-to-do-it book. One of the unique features of this book is that it is all encompassing, covering all phases and stages of o person's life. This ranges from Personal Wellness, Family Time, and Working Mothers, all the way to Professional Skills. The book is more than one to be bought and put on the kitchen shelf--it is a worthwhile investment for any parent to buy and then to read and use to find success as a parent.
