Science and sociology have made great strides in understanding
what makes us happy and how we achieve it. For working mothers who
face endless demands on their time and attention, What Happy
Working Mothers Know provides scientifically proven and
practical ways to find the right balance and replace stress with
happiness. Written by a behavioral scientist and global leadership
guru, and an international lawyer and career coach, this
mom-friendly guide offers practical tactics that truly work.
The demands of juggling work and home lead many women to try to do
everything and be everything to everyone. In the effort to be
Superwoman, many women lose sight of what makes them happy and they
fail to realize how important their happiness is to being a good
worker and a good mother. The key to being your best at everything
you do is to take care of your happiness the way you take care of
your health, through conscious choices every day. You’ll
learn to overcome obstacles, apply lessons learned at work to your
motherhood skills, and learn lessons from your children that you
can apply at work.
