Cal Newport, author of Digital Minimalism (and father to three boys)

Full of great, practical advice about everything from HR to head lice. I wish this book had been around when I started working.

The Complete Guide to Succeeding on the Job, Staying True to Yourself, and Raising Happy Kids

Should you ever have to put your career on hold to have a family? How do you have difficult conversations with your partner about childcare? How do you deal with guilt if you have to leave your child to work? Or leave work to care for your child? 
 
Workparent is the definitive guide for all those struggling to juggle the overwhelming demands of working and parenting; whether you're a CEO or entrepreneur, gay or straight, partnered or single, biological or adoptive, full-time or self-employed.

An all-in-one guide for every working parent 
 
There are plenty of parenting books out there, but as a working parent there's never been a trusted guide that coaches you how to do well at work and be the loving and engaged mother or father you want to be. 
Enter Workparent. 
 
Whether you're planning a family, pushing for promotion during your kids' teenage years, or at any phase in between, Workparent provides all the advice and assurance you'll need to balance your family and career in your own, authentic way. Whatever your field of work or family structure, you'll learn how to: 
 
· Find a childcare arrangement you fully trust 
· Build a strong support team, at home and on the job 
· Navigate big transitions: the return from leave, a promotion or job change, or the arrival of a second child 
· Step up at work while keeping your family healthy and whole 
· Tame difficult emotions like guilt, self-doubt and worry 
 
Written by Daisy Dowling, a top executive coach and working parent, this book feels like an intimate talk with a trusted friend and mentor, and it'll have your back for every stage of parenthood.
