The Lifestyle Lowdown
Summary
Tips and Tools for maintaining a simpler life For the past few years, many of us have been on the 'go, go, go, get, get, get' treadmill - and 'having it all' has often simply meant 'doing it all.' But now outside events have forced some of us to pause and ask: Is more better? Is busy is best? Is it all worth it - or is there a simpler, more satisfying way to live? What happened to the dreams and ambitions that once inspired us, filling us with excitement and happiness? At work and at home we've been so carried away with doing, having and achieving more, that we've left ourselves no time to stop and check on where we're heading and why we're going there. We've lost touch with what it is that gives our lives meaning, nurtures our unique talents and brings us true fulfilment. Maybe it's time to reconnect and to become reacquainted with our authentic selves. Through a series of integrated, enjoyable exercises, work/life balance experts Lucy McCarraher and Annabel Shaw provide a map for the listener to embark on a journey to re-discovering genuine values, needs, desires and hopes, providing positive and well-defined goals, clearly marked destinations, a planned itinerary and regular signposts to keep the listener on track.

A Book of One's Own
Summary
Why are so many fewer women than men writing business books about their knowledge, experience and expertise? Maybe for the same reasons that fewer women than men start their own businesses: we have less confidence in our own abilities, are more risk averse, and have to factor in caring responsibilities; we are also taken less seriously by society and its organisations, and lack role models, mentors and networks. Author, publisher and book mentor Lucy McCarraher is on a mission to change this because, with the odds stacked against them, writing and publishing their own book could be of particular benefit to women entrepreneurs. In A Book of One's Own, fifty women authors share their experience with Lucy, who defines ten women archetypes, and explains: The conscious and unconscious bias against women and how to challenge it, The fears and anxieties most women share, and how to turn them into assets, Why writing your book will benefit you, your business, your family and your gender, How to plan and write your book with least disruption to your life and business, How to publish and promote your book without feeling pushy, for impact, income and influence.
