Customer Reviews

This was a very valuable book
This is an excellent topic and a book that you should read if you are working at home and have children.

At Last -- A book that understands!
I've been working at home for 5 years and read my share of books on how to do it efficiently and happily. This is the best book yet on explaining the emotional issues that come up and how to cope with them. It was very, very helpful to me; I've modified the way I structure my day in response to suggestions in the book and now I frequently get more done AND feel less stressed.

The home office solution
If you work at home it can be challenging. This book gives great advice on how to overcome many of the home office challenges.
