Work Strife Balance
Mia Freedman
RRP $39.99, Macmillan Trade Paperback
'There are
many, many books written by successful women who talk about how successful they
are and float their theory about how you can get some of that success for
yourself if you just Lean In, Say Yes, Live Your Best Life, Beat Your Fear or
Sleep More. Work Strife Balance is
not one of those books.
I want this book to be helpful to
every woman. And I know from experience the best way to be helpful is to be
honest. It's easy to share your successes and your triumphs but the real stuff
of life is far less transient: Eating disorders. Grief. Divorce. Losing a job.
Losing a loved one. Losing your mind. Infertility. None of these things have
rituals. In an age of social media brag-fests they mostly exist underground.
But the way women connect is by
sharing failures, disappointments and insecurities. Quietly. Privately. Over
wine. Over text. Over fences. Female connections are forged through
vulnerability not Facebook brags. Work
Strife Balance is split into those about my most valuable failures, my most
significant setbacks and my most mortifying slip-ups in life, love and work. At
Mamamia we call it FLEARNING - failing and learning. Learning through failing.
In my teens, 20s, 30s and 40s, I've done a lot of both.' Mia Freedman
