Written by Wharton professor Stew Friedman and organisational psychologist Alyssa Westring, it offers working parents a practical framework for aligning purpose, priorities and performance. Rather than promising perfect balance, the authors show readers how to design small, sustainable experiments that improve life at home and at work simultaneously, making this an essential read for busy professionals raising children.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Book\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nDrawing on Stew Friedman's bestselling Total Leadership methodology, this hardback title translates workplace leadership tools into a language parents can use every day. Friedman and Westring argue that being a parent is itself a leadership role, and that the same skills used to lead teams and organisations can be applied to lead a family with intention. Across the book, readers are guided through exercises to clarify their core values, identify what truly matters across the different domains of their lives, and design realistic experiments to test new approaches to old problems. Real stories from working parents illustrate how small changes to routines, conversations and boundaries can produce outsized improvements in wellbeing, connection and career satisfaction. The authors are careful to acknowledge the pressures of modern parenting, from time scarcity to guilt, and offer compassionate, evidence-based strategies rather than one-size-fits-all advice. The result is a structured, actionable programme that helps readers move from feeling overwhelmed to feeling purposeful, whether they are managing a demanding job, a young family, or both. It is a book designed to be worked through with a pen in hand and shared with partners or colleagues looking for a common language around work-life integration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePractical leadership tools adapted specifically for family life and parenting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStep-by-step exercises to clarify values and set meaningful priorities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall, testable \"experiments\" that reduce overwhelm and build momentum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCareer-friendly strategies for advancing professionally without sacrificing family time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBacked by decades of research from Wharton's Work\/Life Integration Project\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA thoughtful hardback gift for new parents, working professionals and educators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Authors\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nStewart D.
