Entrepreneur-author Zuckerberg (Dot Complicated, 2013) borrows from an old consulting truism that among cost, quality, and speed, clients should choose the two attributes that matter most to them for helping readers focus on three key life categories from a possible five: friends, family, work, fitness, and sleep. This kind of life organization makes great common sense to all those who are trying to have it all and/or find a better life balance. The solution Zuckerberg advocates is to become somewhat lopsided. She interviews a few-dozen well-known women, from Arianna Huffington to Halle Stanford (president of TV at the Jim Henson Company), who demonstrate excellence in one of the five categories, then creates a rubric of subcategories to describe different facets of each category. Each subcategory includes one of these characters: Passionista, Eliminator, Renovator, Superhero, and Monetizer. For instance, the Work Eliminator might need to pull back from full workforce employment for a while, whereas the Work Renovator refocuses his or her career. Zuckerberg also relates her own struggles and drops in frequent sidebars, covering the art of the pivot, how to be a better friend, and many other topics. At the end, helpful templates and self-assessment prompts enable readers to more fully embrace the pick-three concept. An easy-breezy narrative with advice that fits today's lifestyles.--Jacobs, Barbara Copyright 2010 Booklist
