Book Description for The Five Truths About Work-Life Balance:
Work-life balance has nothing to do with work. Really. It also doesn't matter what words you use to describe it. The fact is, most people share a similar desire to create easy joy and meaningful engagement across the roles, relationships and responsibilities that make up life.
Our current habits and perceptions often get us stuck and prevent us from creating the life we desire. Get unstuck, learn the truths about work-life balance.

My Review:
This is an interesting way to look at how to balance your life. I have heard that you should work so many hours and then plan how you sleep and eat around that to have a healthy lifestyle. I have also heard that you should get 8 hours of sleep a day and plan around that. This book however gives the reader 5 easy to understand ideas or "truths". They are easy to follow as well. I also liked the format of this book. Rather than being long and tedious, it had snippets of info that are great to read as daily pick me ups! Some I am going to copy and tape to the wall for encouragement! I am giving this book a 4/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own.
