Media Reviews
This book offers realistic strategies and proven principles that will not only help you find more time, but will teach you how to spend it on what matters most. Dr. Stephen R. Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People The change that engulfs the world of work has morphed into a 'perfect storm.' Alas, there are no 'perfect answers' for staying off the shoals. Yet in Thriving in 24/7 Sally Helgesen has given us a profoundly original and eminently useful map to this extraordinary new territory. From cover to cover, this is a remarkable book. Tom Peters, author of The Brand You 50
