The goal of the book, What Happy Working Mothers Know, is to teach the reader how to “choose” happiness. The book is full of statistics that reveal how difficult it is to be a working mother. It helps the reader realize you are not alone and that, while your job as a working mother may be difficult, there are those out there who are achieving a positive work-family life balance and are happy doing so.
The authors, Cathy L. Greenberg and Barrett S. Avigdor, want working mothers to focus on their happiness first. They want you to understand that your energy affects your family, whether it’s positive or negative. The book offers many opportunities to reflect on yourself and your life and to evaluate your thoughts and beliefs through “Self-Coaching Breaks.” There are no right answers for these breaks/questions. They are provided for you to look at your thinking patterns and actions and to decide if changes need to be made in order to be happy.
The book provides a number of relatable stories with which the reader can identify. Also, thought-provoking quotes are scattered throughout the 9 chapters as well.
What Happy Working Mothers Know offers lots of advice, wisdom, and ancedotes as well as real-life action steps and advice. It’s a book that will help anyone on their journey to a more balanced and happy work and family life.
Thank you to the marketing team who provided the book for review. No compensation was received for this post.
That sounds like a great book. We all could use little extra help and reminder to stop and breathe.
Thank you for your sweet and supportive comment yesterday.
