A New York Times bestseller!
In this motivational handbook--both a business how-to and self-help
guide--the New York Times bestselling author of Dot Complicated
takes on the fallacy of the "well-balanced" life, arguing that the key
to success is learning to be well-lopsided.
Work. Sleep. Fitness. Family. Friends. Pick Three.
In an increasingly demanding world, we've been told that we can do
everything--maintain friendships, devote ourselves to work, spend time
with family, stay fit, and get enough sleep. We just need to learn to
balance it all. Randi Zuckerberg doesn't believe in being well-balanced.
We can't do it all every day, she contends, and trying to do so only
leaves us frustrated and feeling inadequate. But we can succeed if we
Pick Three.
Randi first introduced the concept of Pick Three in a tweet--"The
Entrepreneur's Dilemma"--that went viral. Now, in this book, she expands
on her philosophy and inspires others to follow her lead. From
entrepreneurs to professionals, busy parents to students, Randi can help
everyone learn to reject the unrealistic burden of balance and enjoy
success in their own lives--by picking the most important areas to focus
on in any given day.
This practical handbook includes stories from Randi's career learning
that there's no such thing as a perfect balance--as well as insights and
examples from other professionals at the top of the biggest businesses
in Silicon Valley, new moms searching for permission to focus on family,
and recent graduates convinced they should have it all under control,
including Arianna Huffington, Reshma Saujani, Laurie Hernandez, and Brad
Takei. We can't have it all every day, and that's okay, Randi reminds
us. Pick Three is her much-needed guide to learning to embrace the
well-lopsided life.
