Book Description
Pressure to achieve work-life "balance" has recently become a significant part of the cultural fabric of working life in United States. A very few privileged employees tout their ability to find balance between their careers and the rest of their lives, but most employees face considerable organizational and economic constraints which hamper their ability to maintain a reasonable "balance" between paid work and other life aspects—and it is not only women who struggle. Increasingly men find it difficult to "do it all." Women have long noted the near impossibility of balancing multiple roles, but it is only recently that men have been encouraged to see themselves beyond their breadwinner selves. Gender Equality and Work-Life Balance describes the work-life practices of men in the United States. The purpose is to increase gender equality at work for all employees. With a focus on leave policy inequalities, this book argues that men experience a phenomenon called "the glass handcuffs," which prevents them from leaving work to participate fully in their families, homes, and other life events, highlighting the cultural, institutional, organizational, and occupational conditions which make gender equality in work-life policy usage difficult. This social justice book ultimately draws conclusions about how to minimize inequalities at work. Gender Equality and Work-Life Balance is unique as it laces together some theoretical concepts which have little previous association, including entrepreneurialism; leave policy, occupational identity, and the economic necessities of families. This book will therefore be of particular interest to researches and academics alike in the disciplines of Gender studies, Human Resource Management, Employment Relations, Sociology and Cultural Studies.

Book Description
Everyone's got a child, a friend or a neighbour who works in the City. The six-figure bonuses and golden hellos are no secret, nor are the hundred-hour weeks, the highpressure deals or the regular rounds of redundancies in the Square Mile. It's a cut-throat world...everyone knows that. But do they know what it's like for the thousands of fresh-faced young graduates who pour into the City each year? Do they know what it's like to get woken up at three in the morning by a taxi outside your window, ready to haul you back into the office? What it's like to feel guilty for sloping off to the gym at nine o'clock at night? This cynical but entertaining novel follows two 'high-flyers' through their first year in the City. Based on the writer's experience at an American investment bank, it reveals a world that doesn't quite match up with the fast-paced, exhilarating one that was painted so enticingly on the undergraduate milk-round. "Golden Handcuffs" is about twenty-something graduates in the City. It tells of ambition, hard work and disillusionment. It has been called a 'latter day version of "Liar's Poker" by Michael Lewis', a 'must-read for all young professionals' and strikes a similar chord to "I Don't Know How She Does It" by Allison Pearson, though it is aimed at a younger reader. A witty insight into the City, it is told with a fresh, young style that cannot fail to appeal to this as-yet untapped market.

Book Description
" ... I am many things. I am a Child of God. A Father. A Husband. A Son. I am a Motivational Speaker. An Engineer. A Minister. A Successful Entrepreneur. I am also an ex-convict..." Meet Alton Jamison, a living, breathing American success story. And, like many American success stories, the path by which he chose to thrive was not the one born unto him. In this memoir he explores the trials of seeing his father through prison bars, growing up in poverty, and overcoming the ultimate tragedy in order to escape the mental handcuffs he'd worn most of his life. No More Handcuffs also takes it a step further, moving out of autobiographical territory by handing over the keys to whatever handcuffs currently lock you down. While there are no pat answers in this volume, there are options, spelled out clearly and concisely. Finances. Depression. Low self-esteem. The five keys that helped Alton escape mental incarceration can help you, too. You hold them in your hand, the keys to your freedom. Do you have the courage to turn the lock like he did? Read and find out...

I swore I'd never be like him, a drunken, violent, worthless piece of shit asshole! And I'm the one sitting in a jail cell? What the fuck is wrong with me? Maybe I should just kill myself . . . Do you ever look at your life or that of a loved one and wonder how in the hell it came to this? Are you too embarrassed to tell anyone what is really going on or to ask for help? Do you feel like you've tried everything you can think of, but nothing seems to change anyway? You are not alone! Help Over Handcuffs is the true story of Kim, a young mother who woke up in a jail cell with no recollection of how or why she was there or where her son was-again! Battered, bruised, and with only three dollars in her pocket, she was released from jail on her own recognizance, with nowhere to go, a family that threatened to kill her if they found her, and a possible prison sentence looming over her head. With her options seemingly limited, she found herself on an unintentional journey that she wasn't so sure she wanted to take. Help Over Handcuffs takes you on this journey with Kim, from a life of trauma, hopelessness and despair to one of transformation and personal empowerment.
