Stewart D. Friedman and Jeffrey H. Greenhaus conducted extensive research with 861 alumni of the business schools at Drexel University and the University of Pennsylvania, both in Philadelphia. Their research yielded revealing results about the struggle of professionals to manage work and family commitments. However, Friedman and Greenhaus present these results in such overwhelming statistical detail that the average reader is in danger of being swamped. This is especially the case when the data proves principals that most people already grasp through common sense and experience. That said, getAbstract recognizes that the authors have done working Joes and Janes a great service by aggregating numbers to back up the notion that it’s getting tougher to balance family and career. As such, this is an important book for anyone in a position to set workplace policy.
