What Happy Working Mothers Know hits the best seller lists
If you are a regular reader of this blog, like Gigi (thanks, Gigi), you know that I co-authored a book entitled "What Happy Working Mothers Know" (Wiley). It came out on September 8th and my co-author, Cathy Greenberg, and I launched the book at the Pennyslvania Governor's Conference for Women on September 17th. Last week, the book hit 4 best seller lists - the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, USA Today and Amazon. We could not be more thrilled.
When we spoke to a group of 2000 women in Philadelphia last Thursday, we explained to them why we wrote the book. Both Cathy and I struggled to find happiness as working mothers. Our stories are very different but we both had a lot of career success and beautiful children but, for many years, we did not feel at peace. We want to help other women to find their path to happiness faster and more directly than we did. The book is science based and also contains many stories of women we interviewed who inspired us.
We don't advocate that mothers should go to work, nor do we advocate that they should stay home with their children. That is an intensely personal decision. We advocate for happiness. Through the book, we give women the insights and the tools to get over whatever the obstacles are that are getting in the way of their happiness.
On our website - www.whathappyworkingmothersknow.com - we will post tools and articles for free. Our goal is not to make money with this book. I have a job and Cathy doesn't need the money. Our goal is to make a positive difference in women's lives.
I hope you will read the book and share it with a friend. Let me know what you think.
