About this product
Product Information
The womanMediaweeksays "could very well be the next generation's Anna Quindlen" steps out from behind her celebratedNew York Timescolumn in a book about the intersection -- or more accuratelycollision-- of life and work.A few years ago, award-winning reporter Lisa Belkin left the office to work from home, amid the chaos of two young children, writing deadlines, and everyday domestic details. She began writing a very personal column for and about people trying to "balance" their lives, but hundreds of columns later, she noticed that she had not heard from a single person who had everything under control. Then she realized: Nobody can do it because it simply can't be done.Life's Workis the story of modern motherhood, where true happiness is often reached when you finally give up and give in. Belkin's is the funny, poignant, and always dead-on story of trying to do it all...and learning that doing just some of it is enough.

Reviews
Geraldine Ferraro former congresswoman and vice-presidential candidate, and grandmother of six Readers will see themselves in Life's Work, and be moved to laughter and reflection. Lisa Belkin is that rare writer who can describe common experiences in uncommon ways, and the result is a meaningful book of true personal and public significance that is fun to read., Marion Winik author of Rules for the Unruly: Living an Unconventional Life, and mother of five Life's Work is full of comfort and encouragement for people who deeply love both their careers and their families. Belkin crystallizes so many phenomena particular to our situation, such as the transcendent status of baby-sitters and laptops. Her continual emphasis not on "having it all" but on remembering what actually matters, whether the reminder is as small as a child's voice or as big as September 11, is exactly right.
