Drop the Ball

Expect Less from Yourself, Get More from Him, and Flourish at Work & Life

Summary

Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of Drop the Ball written and read by Tiffany Dufu.

An inspirational and insightful guide for women who want to get it all by doing less

For women, a glass ceiling at work is not the only barrier to success - it's also the increasingly heavy obligations at home that weigh them down. Women have become accustomed to delegating, advocating and negotiating for themselves at the office, but when it comes to managing households, they still bear the brunt on their own shoulders. A simple solution is staring them in the face: negotiate with the men in their personal lives.

In Drop The Ball, Tiffany Dufu explains how women can create all-in domestic partnerships that protect them against professional burn-out.

Reviews

  • We won't reach equality in the workplace without equality in the home. Drop the Ball shows how everyone benefits when men work toward equality - and how our relationships and our lives are richer when we lean in together
