I needed this book when I was a young mom! Reading it brought back a flood of memories of trials and joys of being a young working mom. I found I was still thirsty for stories of other families, and for possible solutions to the inevitable challenges. Personally, I think this is the best book in the series. It flows effortlessly, weaving together relevant interviews, self-reflection, and tactical suggestions for home and work management. It manages to be both serious and hilarious, while keeping a logical development throughout. The latest Dan Brown had to take a back seat, as I couldn’t put this book down.

I bought this book for my working mom daughter. She has found it to be very helpful. My daughter has a dual job between being a mother and performing her outside work and publications like this are very useful.

First of all, this book isn’t just for working moms – it’s for women who are pregnant and planning on continuing to work after having the baby, it’s for stay-at-home moms considering going back to work (now or in the future), it’s for anyone who is inspired by the stories of amazing women (and there are many in this book) and of course it is for women who are battling the challenges, enjoying the successes and usually suffering the guilt of being a working mom. Any piece of advice or inspiration is a huge help to the many women out there trying to do it all (here’s their first tip – stop that) and running out of time, energy, ideas and/or inspiration every day. Working mothers have no time to waste and this book won’t waste your time. Skip the chapters that don’t apply or just read the stories of other women and how they get through their day for a few tips on how to get through your day a little more easily. Read it from beginning to end or find what applies to you and what helps you – now or some time down the road.
