| Description: | These days, it seems that everyone’s jumping on the “work-life balance” bandwagon. Corporations wanting to appear concerned about their employees hire business coaches to run work-life balance “lunch-and-learn” seminars (and proudly announce the fact on their websites). Stress-management consultants talk about the need to find a balance between professional and personal life. Amazon.com just informed me of over 50 titles, in several different languages, for a subject search on “work-life balance.” Google’s response was over eight million page hits, starting with a lineup of seminars and workshops, self-assessments and quizzes, and even a membership organization devoted to the subject! |
