Summary

Working parenthood can be overwhelming, frustrating, and riddled with guilt. It can also be a source of joy, inspiration, and creativity. Balancing rich scientific research with friendly, supportive tips and anecdotes, Yael Schonbrun offers a toolkit to help even the most stressed of working parents grow the good while better managing inevitable challenges. She banishes the idea that the key to ultimate working parenthood is the ability to do it all. Instead, the key is to learn how these roles, together, can help you thrive!

Excellent book!

Really informative book! I really enjoyed the narration, assume this is Jennifer Cole. Made a long drive way more relaxing.

Good content but struggled with the narration

Unfortunately the narrator made this sound like it was being read by a robot so was hard to engage with the content at times. I wish Yael had narrated it she has a wonderful voice. A useful book nonetheless.

Really enjoyable and enlightening listen

Thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book. Some really useful approaches and techniques described that I plan to apply. The narrator delivered in a clear, approachable and engaging fashion. Would recommend.

Lost interest in chapter one

The introduction was promising and I was looking forward to hearing more but immediately lost interest in chapter one when she described her father as “an Israeli war hero”. Sorry, but I can’t take parenting advice from someone who supports genocide and child murder.

Awful

Possibly the worst self help book I’ve ever read. An anecdote where a kid pees himself and the mother carries on with her zoom call is applauded. Israeli soldiers going to war is described as “rest” and “role detachment” from their regular work, even a vacation. If this is thriving, I do not want to thrive.
