Publisher's note

A fact-based and proven approach to help working mothers balance their duties at home and work includes interactive activities, shows the reader how to use positive psychology to shift from a scarcity mentality to an abundance mentality for workplace success, includes real case studies of working moms, and more.

This book, the first of its kind, will teach the principles of the new science of happiness to help working mothers understand the elements of happiness in order to achieve work/life balance. "What Happy Working Mothers Know" will provide context, inspiration, and practical advice to working mothers who are so good at taking care of others, but are often overwhelmed by the demands of juggling work and home. Rather than trying to "have it all" by being a sort of superwoman, this book helps women make smart choices as both professionals and parents. Telling the stories of real working moms who have juggled and struggled their way to happiness, authors Cathy Greenberg and Barrett Avigdor provide an instructive look at how working moms can add "happiness" to their list of achievements.

Readers will learn how to overcome the common obstacles to happiness and how the lessons they learn at work enhances their mothering, and the lessons they learn from their children enriches their work. Experts Cathy Greenberg and Barrett Avigdor address an array of topics which will be accompanied by interactive activities, including: Defining a healthy ego for being a happy working mother so that women can strive to achieve without feeling guilty for their ambition; Using new findings in Positive Psychology to shift from a "scarcity mentality" to an "abundance mentality" for success in the workplace; Learning to tap into their own sense of joy everyday--for their own sake and for the sake of others around them.

Annotation

Recent advances in neurology and psychology have begun to transform "happiness" from an abstract concept into a quantifiable property. Cathy Greenberg and Barrett Avigdor, a pair of working mothers, reveal how these breakthroughs in emotional intelligence can be specifically tailored to make live better for working mothers, who typically dictate the emotional status of their entire family. Greenberg and Avigdor combine scientific research with their own firsthand experiences, as well as accounts from hundreds of other working mothers, into a concrete agenda which promises to help every working mother maintain a happy state, both at home and on the job.
