Synopsis

Too many working parents focus solely on those around them, completely losing sight of what they need themselves. But neglecting your own needs and wants can prevent you from being healthy, productive, and happy. Taking Care of Yourself provides expert advice to help you identify what you value most out of your work and home life, make choices that align with those values, and manage the emotions that come with them.

You'll learn to: prioritize the areas of your life that are most important to you—and let go of what's not; cope with the sacrifices you're making both at work and at home; deal with the feelings that come with being a working parent, including guilt; carve out time for your mental health and your physical well-being; communicate your needs and expectations with your boss and your family; and feel more present both at work and at home.

The HBR Working Parents series supports listeners as they anticipate challenges, learn how to advocate for themselves more effectively, juggle their impossible schedules, and find fulfillment at home and at work.

I initially picked up this book because I found Harvard's classic Peter F. Drucker's Managing Oneself to be a great read. Unfortunately, this collection of articles fell short of expectations.

Goodreads review by Kerry on July 21, 2021

I have VERY mixed feelings on about 3 of these “best reads”—the ones about how to deal with racism and sexism in the office specifically. I would love to read reviews by BIPOC folks tho since I’m a cis bi white woman. One basically tells BIPOC folx to “keep your head down unless it’s worth it.” Then......more

Goodreads review by Putri on December 08, 2022

Most of articles are enlightening and I like some articles are quite updated. Many cases are subjected to what happens in the U.S., but I think the solutions can be applied into other cases that have similar concepts. However, in general, the book is not what I expected.......more

Goodreads review by Rodrigo on December 16, 2021

Complemento (con artículos más recientes) de la compilación previa (On managing yourself, Vol. 1). A diferencia del primero, encontrará menos artículos "clásicos", y aunque cada uno tiene algo valioso que aportar, no todos son igualmente relevantes.......more
