On having it all.................


Stuart Schneiderman tackles the work-life balance- here.  Excerpts here:

"In my view it's a rank distortion to say that life is or should be about getting what you want, when you want, with whom you want and from whom you want.

"We owe this misleading idea to the therapy culture.

"Life is a negotiation. It’s a negotiation between what you are good at and what the market will pay for. If you want to do what you are good at, fine. If what you are good at is not exactly what you want to do, adjust your expectations.

"Life is a negotiation between the biological imperative to reproduce and the available supply of potential mates.

"Life is a negotiation between your duties to your family and your duties to your job."

"As for the larger question: why can't women have it all? The answer is simple: because no one can."
