I enjoyed what this book was trying to do - give working mothers a handbook to find the elusive work life balance. While I found some parts of it helpful, parts did make me think it’s a difficult life shift that doesn’t ever really revert. I appreciated that it is out there and would recommend to others who struggle with finding that place for themselves.

This is INCREDIBLE. As a working mother, this has helped me think differently about how I approach my life and my decisions. The coaching strategies were incredibly well done, and I fully plan on rereading this book when/if I have another child and fully focusing on these strategies to help smooth the transitions between work and maternity leave and back.

The title alone was all it took to give this one a shot. What woman with kids hasn't wanted to just pick up a book and figure out the balance between working and being a mother that she (and her kids) can be proud of? I can't think of any who wouldn't. Was it the golden ticket? Depends. It had actionable advice and stories, but I can't say it broke the curse for me of trying to figure out the balancing act. I didn't really need it to fully to enjoy it, as that is a herculean task. Ultimately, I did enjoy it. Solid 3.8, rounded.

Definitely interesting to read this as a man. It was thoughtful and thought-provoking. I'm not necessarily the target audience, but I still benefit from the perspective offered.
(I received a free digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review)

In Working Mother, Morris presents us with highly useful exercises, questions, tips and examples.
I did not expect to find such a well-structured, proper, insightful workbook/book.
As with many other books, the font type, the design is not 100% to my taste, but that is entirely my own subjective opinion and taste. There are usually logical reasons behind the design decisions of books, so.
