Title: Coming Up for Air: How to Build A Balanced Life in A Workaholic World by Beth Sawi ISBN: 0-7868-6549-0 Publisher: Hyperion Press Pub. Date: 15 March, 2000 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $23.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.44 (9 reviews)
Rating: 5
Summary: Enormously practical and helpful
Comment: This book succinctly and gracefully guides the reader toward real-world solutions to very difficult real world problems. It's unusual to find a book which is both a pleasure to read and is very grounded in practical solutions for finding a way to increased contentment.
I think the book succeeds so well because it focuses on core challenges in attaining happiness and balance (i.e. given that one can't do everything, what are your real priorities?) and that it provides guidance for attaining realistic, small-step changes that can have an enormous impact on quality of life.
It's wonderful to find such graceful writing, not from a professional "self help book writer", but from a woman who has walked the walk...a person who has succeeded in corporate America while raising children and pursuing other interests. There's nothing theoretical here...it's all grounded in the reality of what's possible in our frenzied lives.

Summary: Coming Up for Air
Comment: Beth Sawi's book was an exceptionally useful tool as my husband and I evaluated our all-too-busy lives as we were flying back from a vacation. The book helped us set priorities, and talk together about what each of us needs to create a more balanced life. The book is readable and the case studies were particularly helpful. My highest praises for this book!
