FROM THE CRITICS
Library Journal
Godfrey, an AP syndicated columnist and the best-selling author of books like Money Doesn't Grow on Trees (Fireside, 1994), places a business structure, complete with personnel, budgeting, planning, and organizational skills, in the home environment. As a result, she introduces a new way of thinking about household chores. Would the CEO be required to take out the trash, for instance? With the Work-to-Home Translator concept, Godfrey requires the reader to look at home as a series of doable, organized projects, e.g., planning for long- and medium-term savings goals vs. one-time cash outlays such as weddings and dealing with ex-spouses in a constructive way. The final chapters consider workplace reform, balancing family and career, and family-friendly options like flex time. This volume is full of ideas and commonsense advice. An additional purchase for public libraries.--Lisa S. Wise, Broome Cty. P.L., Binghamton, NY Copyright 1999 Cahners Business Information.
