Money and love An intelligent roadmap for life's biggest decisions
Book - 2023
"Hardly ever, when faced with daunting questions, do we have the keys to combine both head and heart in a balanced and fulfilling way. Labor economist and Stanford Professor Emerita Myra Strober and social innovation leader Abby Davisson know that in our daily lives money and love are interdependent. Whereas most decision-making guides focus only on one or the other, Money and Love shows us and our loved ones how to consider them jointly using the original, step-by-step 5Cs method: Clarify, Communicate, Choices, Check-in, and Consequences. At a time when we are experiencing the most significant shift in work-life balance in decades--marked by remote work, the Great Reshuffle, and a mass reconfiguring of family dynamics and social/profe...ssional networks--Strober and Davisson's framework offers simple and effective steps to empower readers to make the best strategic decisions without having to sacrifice their careers or personal lives"--
