{"product_id":"work-and-family-stewart-d-friedman-9780195112757","title":"Work and Family: Allies of Enemies?","description":"We've come a long way since the classic book \u003cem\u003eThe Organization Man\u003c\/em\u003e first introduced the \"ideal\" 2-person career--a full-time male breadwinner and a stay-at-home wife. What typified the '50s good life is in stark contrast to contemporary reality: 63% of all married women with children under six years old are in the workforce and 40% of all workers are part of a dual-earner couple. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003eWork and Family--Allies or Enemies?\u003c\/em\u003e offers a fresh new lens for viewing the real struggles that business professionals face in their daily battle to find ways of \"getting a life\" and \"having it all.\" Based on a pioneering study that surveyed more than 800 business professionals, this volume will help readers understand and deal with the effects of gender, professional culture, and social expectations, on the evolving roles of men and women in crafting an integrated life. A rich, inspiring, and at times disturbing look at how work and family affect the lives of men and women trying to manage the complexities of modern living, the authors argue that it is critical to learn how to manage the boundaries between work and family, to handle ambiguity, to manage multiple tasks simultaneously, and to build networks of support at work and in the community. \u003cem\u003eWork and Family--Allies or Enemies?\u003c\/em\u003e offers a prescription for success that requires that all parties--individuals, employers, and society--clarify what is important, recognize and support the whole person, and continually experiment with new ways to achieve meaningful goals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stewart D.
