Single Mother in Charge: How to Successfully Pursue Happiness
Are you ready to take charge of your happiness? The new science of positive psychology demonstrates that happiness is a choice that can be achieved through the application of concrete practices. And anyone can learn how to apply them.
There are approximately 90 million mothers in the United States and Canada alone, and given the current divorce rate, a great number of them will find themselves as single mothers at some point in their lives. But this book is truly for all mothers. Single Mother in Charge: How to Successfully Pursue Happiness employs the latest research on the science of happiness to show mothers how to be stronger, happier, and more balanced. Through it, they will learn to use their own power to improve the quality of their lives and those of their children.
This hands-on guide starts with three critical lessons for personal transformation: the right belief, the right attitude, and taking action. Readers will be taught how to transform feelings of fear, anxiety, guilt, and low self-esteem into a positive, confident attitude. Once these barriers to happiness have come down, the mother can adopt the 22 "happiness strategies" outlined in the book to create a happier and healthier life for herself and her family.

Having It All ... And Making It Work: Six Steps for Putting Both Your Career and Your Family First
Working 24x7? Delaying life until it's too late? You have the ability stop! Having it All ...and Making it Work is a fast-paced, easy-to-use book offering you a new pathway towards managing personal life and professional life--without sacrificing either one of them. This book isn't just more whining and exhortation: it delivers specific, bite-sized, no-fluff solutions for managing your life, including crucial execution steps you can take immediately. Mills teaches you how to identify and balance what's most important to you--and give up what you don't want badly enough. He also shows how to make the balance real, not just talk; how to make career decisions that promote balance; and how to make course corrections that refine your balance over time. Mills also exposes the potentially disastrous myths and rationalizations many people use to avoid the realities of work/life imbalance--fallacies like "I'll devote all my time to work for 15 years, get rich, and then I'll pay attention to family." Mills' breakthrough work/life courses at the Harvard Business School are helping business people find the balance they're searching for. The techniques he's developed will help anyone struggling to get a grasp on the work/life balance challenge.
