Fair Play: Reese's Book Club
Author: Eve Rodsky

Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 385
Book Description
AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A REESE'S BOOK CLUB PICK Tired, stressed, and in need of more help from your partner? Imagine running your household (and life!) in a new way... It started with the Sh*t I Do List. Tired of being the “shefault” parent responsible for all aspects of her busy household, Eve Rodsky counted up all the unpaid, invisible work she was doing for her family—and then sent that list to her husband, asking for things to change. His response was...underwhelming. Rodsky realized that simply identifying the issue of unequal labor on the home front wasn't enough: She needed a solution to this universal problem. Her sanity, identity, career, and marriage depended on it. The result is Fair Play: a time- and anxiety-saving system that offers couples a completely new way to divvy up domestic responsibilities. Rodsky interviewed more than five hundred men and women from all walks of life to figure out what the invisible work in a family actually entails and how to get it all done efficiently. With 4 easy-to-follow rules, 100 household tasks, and a series of conversation starters for you and your partner, Fair Play helps you prioritize what's important to your family and who should take the lead on every chore, from laundry to homework to dinner. “Winning” this game means rebalancing your home life, reigniting your relationship with your significant other, and reclaiming your Unicorn Space—the time to develop the skills and passions that keep you interested and interesting. Stop drowning in to-dos and lose some of that invisible workload that's pulling you down. Are you ready to try Fair Play? Let's deal you in.

Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 124
Book Description
What's life all about? When reading or watching the daily news, or going about our life, we often witness or experience suffering and injustices. Whether it's an Act of God, or some form of human error or cruelty, we have to wonder at why it happens. Why do good people, innocent babies and animals often seem to get hurt through no fault of their own? Why does there appear to be more rudeness and rage than ever before? Even our home, our planet Earth is being hurt possibly beyond any correction. And then, at almost the same time, we wonder if there's a life after we die, and if we will come back again. This book is about some of those questions and some thoughts and opinions which are not very mainstream or conventional, and what if anything, we can do about what's going on around us. This is about how to recognize and avoid some of the obstacles that stand in our way on the Path in our pursuit of Happiness. Is there life after life? When the body dies, it goes back to the earth, but we are not the body. See index under 'Life after Life.' What's the best way to heal a broken heart? Time heals broken hearts, and all other physical and emotional wounds. See index under 'Love.' What's better, conventional or alternative medicine? More about this under 'Self-healing.' Does prayer really work? Some scientific research is being done to find out if prayer really does help.

Book Description
'Living Well' ...quenches thirst in life's voyage We are not an island unto ourselves. We live with people around us. Life is all about relationship. It is a balance between what we are and what we can be. A balance between what we want and what we need. We have all gone through low and high points in life. At the high points people around us share our happiness. At the low points we are alone, miserable and discouraged. For many years while I was in the Singapore Public Service, I sent out messages to my people. The messages served to rally people to a common cause, encourage and spur them on to achieve greater things. I have been blessed with encouraging feedback and testimonials@ and requests for these messages to be compiled into a book. I put them altogether in "Living Well". It is not about living it UP. It draws on the well of experience I have been through. A well we can draw from when are "thirsty". It offers encouragement for those seeking relief and respite from the toils in the voyage through life. It offers hope to those feeling hopeless. @ see pages x to xiii
