About the Book

24/7: Twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. Not long ago, the phrase might have been used to describe the challenges of being a working mother. But now, in the wired world of the new millennium, men as well as women struggle with a new way of life. More and more, work invades our home lives, and leisure time is often so regimented that it begins to seem like work. Our relationship to time is transformed by technologies that operate at a speed beyond conscious thought. And as the stages of our lives become less and less predictable, it becomes increasingly difficult to prepare for the future. Sally Helgesen's lucid new book will help readers restore their equilibrium. She both describes the 24/7 phenomenon and offer six strategies for dealing with it--strategies that anyone can master. She focuses especially on the ability to improvise, to be partners in change with our employers, to be open to innovation, and to customize our lives. And based upon hundreds of interviews with men and women adept at navigating the 24/7 world, as well as personal experience, she weaves in anecdotes that illustrate the strategies in action. THRIVING IN 24/7 is an indispensable handbook for anyone who wants not merely to survive but to thrive in the new world of work.

Review :
Cherie Carter-Scott, Ph.D.

author of "If Life Is a Game, These Are the Rules"

For any cutting-edge executive or passionate entrepreneur, "Thriving in 24/7" is an essential survival manual for the twenty-first century!

Dr. Stephen R. Covey

author of "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People"

We live in a "McDonald's-esque" society today as the demands on our time are literally unprecedented. 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.

Joel A. Barker

author of "Paradigms"

Explaining how to function in the 24/7 world of work is an enormous challenge. Sally Helgesen has written a clear and directive book on how to do that and still live the good life. It is filled with excellent recommendations, some of which I am instituting right now.

Nancy K. Austin

coauthor of "A Passion for Excellence"

In this age of rampant confusion, choice, and complexity, Sally Helgesen has written an immensely reassuring book for anyone who's ever wondered how to get a foothold in a world that goes full tilt all the time. As always, her advice is right on and absolutely practical. I loved it.

Tom Peters

author of "The Brand You 50"

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.
