Acquired off of bookmooch. Comes highly recommended, first heard about it on Chatelaine books forum.

This book was a disappointment. I approve and applaud the principles that the author is promoting, but she wrapped them in such contempt for conservative values and made outrageous assumptions about how conservatives "might" behave if only they werent, you know... conservatives. I was looking for a book with pragmatic suggestions for balancing work-life demands. I didn't find anything pragmatic in this book. Her idea of building community amounted to organizing political and socialist activities -- and while I have no objection to any of those activities, they don't resonate for me. In fact, i still view political and socialist activities as work.

The only thing I took from this book is a recognition for greater relationship connections. And this isn't new news to me -- just a neglected piece of my life. So. As a result of reading this book, I recognize that I need to work harder at sustaining my existing friendships, and even at building new friendships. And that is not a bad thing. In fact, I will think I probably do a better job of it than Cecile Andrews does, since I don't have such prejudiced opinions of people who have different priorities th

This was at my seat when I returned to the table at our meet up today and just reading the back cover blurb made me decide to read it, although, I was warned "It's not as good as it sounds"....we'll see!!!
