Summary:
"After the birth of her second child, marketing and advertising executive Lisen Stromberg did something she never imagined she would do: she opted out and chose to stay home with her children. But her
career
didn't end there. Stromberg paused, then pivoted to become an award-winning journalist writing about women,
work
, and life in Silicon Valley. Along the way, she met many highly successful women who told her they never "opted out" but had, in fact, temporarily paused or downshifted their careers. Their journeys revealed an alternative, non-linear path to the top that enabled them to reconcile family with their careers. In

Thrive
:
How
to
Pause

Parenthood
Without
Killing
Your
Career
, Stromberg details
how
these trailblazers disrupted the original paradigm by incorporating pauses into their careers and embracing all aspects of life. Deeply rooted in social science research, cutting-edge data collected from nearly 1,500 women, and through 186 first-person interviews, Stromberg provides a blueprint for stepping back from
your
career
without
sacrificing
your
ambitions. She shows you
how
to successfully opt not out, but in--not just to
your
career
, but to
your
whole life."--Publisher's website.
