I wish I could spend more time with family and friends and (much) less time at work.If only I knew how to make this happen.If only I could achieve that elusive goal of work-life balance.Do these thoughts cross your mind? Do you long to be at home when you're working overtime for the eighth week in a row? Does your work pull you away from quality time with your spouse or kids even when you're home? When you're home, are you really there?You're not alone.Forty percent of Americans work more than fifty hours per week. And most of us fall into the trap of working longer so that we might be able to provide more for our children than what we enjoyed as kids. But is sacrificing our one finite resource-time-worth the cost?Few would say yes, but our lives tell different stories...Through current research, as well as my own stories and those of friends, Balancing Life presents a practical and achievable way forward for anyone who's wrestling to find a functional balance between the necessity of work and the desire to spend time with those who matter the most.
