Couples that Work. How To Thrive in Love and at Work: Jennifer Petriglieri

Acclaimed professor reveals how working couples can successfully combine love and work

Finding fulfilment in both love and work isn`t easy--but it is possible.

Most advice for working couples fails because it treats the challenge of balancing two careers as a zero-sum game in which one partner`s gain is the other`s loss. This book is different.

In Couples That Work, professor Jennifer Petriglieri shifts away from the language of sacrifice and trade-offs, and focuses on how couples can tackle the challenges they will face throughout their lives--together.

Petriglieri identifies three key phases of exploration and growth in every couple`s work-life journey and provides tools to help couples navigate three pivotal questions together:

· How can we make this work?
· What do we really want?
· Who are we now?

Based on five-years research interviewing over a hundred couples from thirty countries, Couples That Work is filled with vivid, real-life stories. Full of engaging exercises and activities, this book will help every couple work out their own unique way to successfully combine love and work.
