On-The-Fly Guide to Balancing Work and Life

Bill Butterworth is an excellent writer and communicator. I've watched him hold an audience spell-bound with his storytelling. He uses the same power in his writing for this slim volume on balance between work and life. You will smile and possibly laugh out loud at the personal stories then identify with the truth behind the story. In the opening chapter, Bill tells one of the most embarrassing experiences from his childhood--when he ran the 440 in a track and field event. He had no plan and didn't balance enough to finish the race. He writes toward the end of his opening chapter, "It is possible to be successful while at the same time maintaining balance between your personal and professional lives. Life is a marathon, my friend, and the key to any long-distance race is endurance. I hope this book will help more of you reach the finish line so that fewer of you will hit the wall at the 330-yard mark." This book is part of Butterworth's on-the-fly guide series--or books designed to be completed on a short plane ride. The only challenge to you as a reader (and my own life) is faithfully applying the valuable lessons and insight--an every day decision. I recommend this book. It's well worth your reading time.
