Drop the Ball: Achieving More by Doing Less by Tiffany Dufu

3.0

Books like these are always interesting to read. No book is going to be everything to everyone, but I related to many of her thoughts as she struggled to run a home and succeed at work. It did seem like her husband was supportive and willing to help, which ultimately helped make her life easier (though I did roll my eyes at delegating with joy, as if a man can't just be told to take out the garbage and instead be asked like a child). What if no one wants to clean the floors? Does it just never get done? Yeah, no. Someone ultimately has to do it. I did like her approach to asking for help from others and building a network of people you can count on. It was a little long and repetitive in places, but overall I enjoyed the read and will take a few things away from it. I was recommended this book to read when I began thinking about starting a life with someone. I can see why it was on the list, but it wasn't groundbreaking in any way.
